CONNECTED JOURNEYChina to local market
Why this network exists
Connecting China’s vehicle supply chain with local automotive expertise
ZEEX AUTO is a China-based automotive supply chain company supporting overseas dealers, importers, fleet operators and automotive businesses with vehicle sourcing, inspection coordination, export documentation and international shipping.
Once a vehicle reaches its destination market, customers still need knowledgeable local professionals to clear customs, complete technical approval and registration, sell and deliver vehicles, and provide reliable after-sales service.
The ZEEX AUTO Partner Program connects these capabilities. ZEEX supports the China-side sourcing and export process, while approved local partners provide market-specific services within their own qualifications, licences and service areas.
