LHZ Auto Global Operations Center – Full-Chain Solution Provider for Chinese Auto Exports and Global Site Matrix

In 2026, China's automobile exports reached 5.31 million units in the first half of the year, up 53% year-on-year, marking the first time semi-annual exports surpassed the five-million-unit mark, solidifying China's position as the world's largest auto exporter. New energy vehicle exports accounted for 50.4% of the total, meaning that one out of every two vehicles exported was a new energy vehicle. China's share of global new vehicle production has surged from less than 5% to 35%.

China's auto exports have moved beyond the phase of simply selling vehicles overseas. Pure trade exports are no longer sufficient to support a globalized presence. What is truly needed is market access capability, localized channel networks, customized product adaptation, and reliable logistics delivery systems in target markets.

The LHZ Auto Global Operations Center serves as the core gateway for the automotive trading division of LHZ Global Holding Group. It has established market presence across 17 countries and regions spanning five major areas: Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, South Asia, and Eastern Europe, forming a global site matrix covering the core automotive consumer markets of the Eurasian continent.

Global Site Matrix: 17 Country Markets, Every Site a Localized Service Node

The LHZ Auto Global Operations Center has integrated a localized site network across 17 countries and regions. Each site operates as an independent localized service node, providing market-specific policy consulting, vehicle matching, and after-sales support.

Middle East: The Middle East Headquarters coordinates strategy and resources across sixteen countries. In 2026, the Middle East automotive market is undergoing profound structural changes. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted traditional shipping routes, causing China's automotive exports to the UAE to plummet by 89% in the first quarter. Japanese brands have been forced to cut production or suspend Middle East operations due to supply chain disruptions. At the same time, rising fuel prices have accelerated consumer shifts toward electric and hybrid models. EV interest surged 24% in the first week of April. Inquiries for affordable Chinese EV models increased by over 30%. EV waiting lists have extended to three to five months, and new vehicle prices have risen by 10% to 15%. As supply gaps continue to widen, Chinese brands are facing a structural opportunity window. The UAE site has achieved over 10% market share for the RoX 01 in the luxury all-terrain SUV segment above 80,000 USD, with Dubai Police having procured it for official use. The Iran site has deepened its presence in the hybrid market despite sanctions, with hybrid tariffs reduced from 100% to 40% in 2025. The dual Turkey sites cover both European and Asian markets, with Chinese brands holding a 5.82% market share. The Afghanistan site covers a market of 36 million people.

Caucasus: The Georgia site offers a 60% excise tax discount for hybrids, with the Poti port providing a duty-free transit corridor. The Azerbaijan site holds a 68% market share for Chinese brands, with Changan and Omoda jointly accounting for 41%, and BEVs becoming the only duty-exempt vehicle category from 2026 onward. The Armenia site maintains an open window for 20,000 EV duty-free quotas, with Chinese brand EVs accounting for 97%.

Central Asia: The Kazakhstan site holds a 56.2% market share for Chinese brands, with Changan CS55Plus having achieved localized production. The Uzbekistan site sees BYD Song Plus DM-i leading the market, with BYD's Jizzakh plant having a Phase 1 capacity of 50,000 units. The Turkmenistan site is gradually opening access for Chinese brands despite barriers including a five-year vehicle age limit and a ban on black-colored vehicles. The Kyrgyzstan site has seen EV quotas double from 15,000 to 25,000 units, with Chinese vehicles accounting for 47.5% of passenger vehicle imports. The Tajikistan site sees EVs accounting for 22.2% of passenger vehicle imports, with 97.3% sourced from China.

South Asia: The Pakistan site covers a 260 million population right-hand drive market, with Haval H6 selling 2,176 units monthly and Tank 500 receiving nearly 5,000 orders. BYD's plant has an annual capacity of 25,000 units to support localized supply.

Eastern Europe: The Belarus site serves as the western gateway to the Eurasian Economic Union, with BELGEE holding a 54.4% market share and 152 enterprises settled in the China-Belarus Industrial Park, offering a 10-year corporate income tax exemption through 2062. EAC certification obtained here is mutually recognized across Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia, providing one-click access to a 180 million population market. The Russia site holds a 54.6% market share for Chinese-aligned brands, with a cumulative vehicle population of 3.43 million units in the first half of 2026. The hybrid market saw 127% year-on-year growth in the first quarter, with Chinese brands capturing the top five hybrid sales positions.

Global Expansion Roadmap: Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia

In its next phase, LHZ Auto will extend its presence to Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, and other major global markets, continuing to expand its global site matrix.

Europe: Leveraging the dual hub nodes of Hamburg and Duisburg in Germany, along with scheduled China-Europe road trucking services, covering Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Poland, and the entire EU, with simultaneous reach to the UK and Nordic markets. The EU tariff environment on Chinese EVs is accelerating Chinese brands' localization efforts. LHZ Auto will leverage its logistics hubs as an entry point, providing compliance certification, vehicle adaptation, and complete vehicle delivery solutions for the European market.

Africa: Extending to North African markets via the Middle East hub and TIR cross-border corridors, with a focus on Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, followed by gradual expansion to South Africa and Sub-Saharan African markets. Africa is emerging as a new growth engine for Chinese NEV exports. LHZ Auto will utilize its TIR corridor advantages to open land-based trade routes for China-Africa automotive trade.

Southeast Asia: Leveraging the Group's cross-border logistics network and RCEP policy dividends to tap into ASEAN automotive trade growth channels, with a focus on Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines, with simultaneous reach to Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia.

The Khorgos team possesses over a decade of port operation experience and successfully completed a 4,500-vehicle export project to Iran in 2026, setting a record for the largest single vehicle export order in Xinjiang. Khorgos, as China's largest land port for automobile exports, handled 450,000 vehicles in 2025, with over 1,000 vehicles clearing customs daily, serving as the core node of LHZ Auto's global logistics network.
