Shanghai unveiled a 13-item action plan on promoting the city's used car exports on Friday, with the goal of raising the city's export volume to 50,000 units by 2027, according to official sources.

The initiative aims to upgrade the city's auto industry and strengthen its position as a global trade hub, the notice added. By 2027, the city plans to foster three to five leading exporters, with annual used car exports projected to reach 50,000 vehicles.

A comprehensive service platform for used car exports will be established with stronger support to expand export volumes, measures to facilitate exports will be introduced, and services related to used car exports will be further enhanced, it added.
