Russia and Central Asia: the biggest fundamentals

Russia: The largest exporter, exporting more than 110,000 vehicles in the first two months of 2026. It mainly focuses on left-hand rudder fuel vehicles, SUVs, and pickup trucks for 3-5 years. It only needs to comply with Euro 5 emissions regulations, with stable profits and fast returns.

Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, etc.): Stable policies, mature customs clearance, preference for high-chassis and durable models, is a "novice village" for small and medium-sized car dealers.

Africa: Moving to core markets (zero tariff dividend)

Focus: Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, etc.

Demand: Low-cost durable fuel vehicles, large-space SUVs, pickup trucks, 30,000 - 50,000 economy vehicles are the most popular.

Good: Starting from May, many African countries will have zero tariffs, costs will drop directly and profits will be full!

Southeast Asia: The largest increase in 2026

Focus: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia (mainly right rudder).

Hot models: Small electric vehicles, household SUVs, new energy acceptance has soared, and premiums have increased.

Advantages: China-Laos railway + preferential tariffs, fast logistics and low costs.

Middle East and South America: High-end Policy Dividends

Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia): Preference for quasi-new luxury cars and hard-core off-road cars, with high passenger unit prices.

South America (Argentina, Chile): Second-hand electric vehicles have zero tariff/quota support, BYD and other brands have strong premiums, and bicycle profits can reach US$12,000 - 20,000.

Why are used cars in China so fragrant?

Cost performance: 3-5 years old, low mileage, 1/3-1/2 of the price of a new European and American car.

Strong policy support: dividends such as simplified exports, accelerated customs clearance, and zero tariffs in Africa have been intensively implemented.

Sufficient vehicle sources: The domestic ownership is 400 million +, and a large number of vehicle sources are replaced every year, making supply worry-free.

Car dealers must see: What to do in 2026?

1. Priority markets: Russia/Central Asia (stable), Africa (volume), Southeast Asia (incremental).

2. Main models: 3-5 years old left-hand rudder fuel vehicles, small displacement SUVs, new energy scooters.

3. Seize the dividends: Zero tariffs in Africa will be implemented in May, so stock up in advance to seize the opportunity!

China's second-hand cars go out to sea, not a tuyere, but a long-term trend. Choose the right market and make good use of policies, and you will be able to make a lot of money this year!
