AUTO1.com sold 150,350 units B2B in Q2 and further optimized the Customer Journey for partners

Berlin, July 13, 2022 - AUTO1.com, Europe's largest wholesale platform for used cars, is looking back at a successful second quarter of this year and reports a growth of 12% with 150,350 units sold (Q2 2021: 134,300). This strong performance makes AUTO1.com the market-leading e-commerce platform for used car trading professionals in Europe. For ten years, our partners have been digitizing their used car business with AUTO1.com products and services.

“Despite the currently challenging market environment the first two quarters of 2022 have shown strong year-over-year growth for AUTO1.com and we have supported our over 60,000 car trading professionals in building their business. With our broad pan-European reach to over 30 European countries, powered by our unique technology platform we offer Europe’s single largest pool of used cars and remain the leading e-commerce platform for professional used car trading in Europe. In the upcoming months we will remain focused on our mission and continue to work hard towards the success of our customers.”, says Dr. Moritz Lück, Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations at AUTO1 Group.

Throughout the first half of this year, AUTO1.com focused its investments on the optimization of the entire customer journey for dealers, making buying and selling cars easy, transparent, and seamless. For this, the full purchasing process from Remarketing partners, like dealers or leasing companies, has now been digitized. B2B sellers are therefore able to manage the full purchasing process, including transferring their invoice via the AUTO1.com Remarketing dashboard, ensuring a fast payment for their sold cars. Besides this, AUTO1.com is enhancing the transparency of its processes by adding the live payment status for every car sold to AUTO1.com. In the second quarter of 2022, further improvements to the EVA app were completed. For example, dealers in Europe can now request car data not only based on the vehicle identification number but also through the license plate number. In both query processes the required information will be automatically uploaded to the EVA app to complete the evaluation and ensure that the digitization of any used car is even faster. This update makes the evaluation process easier and further accelerates the selling process.

To complete the full digital selling experience, sellers can now request mobile evaluators with a few clicks over their desktop or the app. The mobile evaluators of AUTO1.com inspect and evaluate any number of cars and are especially useful for dealers who have to handle larger volumes.

“We are very proud to welcome amazing Remarketing partners like Ford and Allane Mobility Group who joined our platform recently. These partnerships show the potential that we can unlock with our holistically digital products and services. Our goal for the second half of 2022 is to further optimize the selling processes and achieve the best prices for our dealers to enable them to further increase their selling conversion. Eventually this will lead to additional partners on the platform and increased supply of cars on AUTO1.com for all our buying dealers.”, says Jost Dieckhaus, Vice President Remarketing Europe at AUTO1 Group.
