Who this is for

Dealers and importers preparing a vehicle order from China. Use these points to ask specific questions about your selected vehicles.

In this article

Start with local use

Consider daily distance, fuel availability, charging access, road conditions and repair support. Ask your destination agent whether the vehicle type is eligible for import. A low purchase price is useful only when the car suits the customer’s actual use.

Petrol and diesel

Compare running costs, engine condition, transmission and local parts availability. Diesel pickups and commercial vehicles should be chosen for their intended load and duty cycle. Check the exact specification rather than assuming every version has the same engine.

Hybrid and plug-in hybrid

A conventional hybrid and a plug-in hybrid have different charging needs. Confirm the fuel system, battery condition, charging equipment and service support for the exact model. Discuss realistic usage with your customer instead of treating a laboratory range as a guarantee.

Battery-electric vehicles

Check the charging connector, compatible equipment, battery information and locally available technical support. Ask the carrier about the requirements for shipping the exact vehicle. Confirm that its usable range and charging arrangements fit the buyer’s route.

Discuss your vehicle order with Jiang

Send your destination, model list, quantity and budget. Agree the delivery point and included services for EXW, FCA or FOB.
