We would like to purchase vehicles not only from domestic auctions but also from overseas.
It would be convenient if we could check used cars in the Korean market on AI-NET.
As a new initiative to expand procurement opportunities for our members, Arai Auction will start data linkage with AUTOHUB, a Korean used car auction company.
In this article, we will introduce the outline of AUTOHUB, the features of vehicles for sale, the advantages for AI-NET members, and the new "overseas pre-auction viewing service" in an easy-to-understand manner.
What is AUTOHUB?
AUTOHUB is an auction company that operates used car auction business in Korea. The operating company is AutoHub Sellcar, which has an auction site in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
The company has a member network of approximately 1,900 companies, and the average number of vehicles on display is approximately 1,900 to 2,000. The company operates as one of the major auction sites in the Korean used car auction market.
Composition of exhibitors by maker at AUTOHUB Korea
At the AUTOHUB, the majority of exhibitors are Korean manufacturers. Hyundai and KIA are particularly high in the ratio of exhibitors, confirming the vehicle lineups unique to the Korean market.
By being able to confirm vehicles in the Korean market, which are difficult to find at domestic auctions, on AI-NET, you will be able to expand your purchasing options.
Benefits for AI-NET Members
This data linkage will enable AI-NET members to consider vehicles listed on AUTOHUB in Korea as potential purchase candidates while in Japan.
Expansion of suppliers to the Korean market
The number of suppliers, previously limited to the domestic market, has been expanded to include the Korean used car market. You can choose from a wider variety of vehicles.
Expansion of business opportunities
By adding vehicles from overseas auctions as new purchasing candidates, you can increase the breadth and competitiveness of your business.
Browse and bid from AI-NET
You can browse and bid on vehicles for sale on the Korean AUTOHUB from the familiar AI-NET screen. No local travel is required.
Overseas pre-auction inspection service
We will start "Overseas pre-auction viewing service" as a new service for overseas auctions.
Our local staff will inspect the vehicle and provide a clear description of the vehicle's condition using a combination of video, images, and selected items. Even if you are unsure about the condition of a vehicle overseas, this service makes it easier to obtain the information you need to make a bidding decision.
