A delegation from Racer House, the automotive group based in Wuhu, Anhui Province, China, recently held a series of business meetings in Poland with local car dealers, industry associations and aftermarket service providers. In a constructive atmosphere, the two sides reached a number of shared understandings on used car exports, automotive logistics, vehicle modification and distribution in the European market.
From Formal Meetings to Informal Exchange
The talks began in the meeting room, where both sides worked through the cooperation framework
, export qualifications, vehicle standards and logistics arrangements in detail. The Polish partners presented vehicle lists and market data, while the Chinese side outlined the Racer House group's combined capability in domestic vehicle sourcing, reconditioning and modification, customs declaration and clearance, and international logistics.
After the meeting, the two teams shared dinner at a Chinese restaurant and took a group photograph at a club decorated with a dragon-motif backdrop and a wall of event photographs. In that more relaxed setting, the discussion moved on to practical details such as the first batch of models, payment terms and delivery schedules. The following day, the delegation held further informal talks with several partners in a shopping centre lounge, building understanding and trust.
Why Poland?
Poland is one of the largest economies in Central and Eastern Europe, with a substantial and steadily growing automotive consumer market, and it also serves as an important vehicle distribution and logistics hub within the EU. For Chinese used car exporters, Poland is not only an end market in its own right but also a springboard into neighbouring countries such as Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
That locational advantage is precisely what drew the Racer House delegation. By establishing direct relationships with Polish dealers and service providers, Racer House aims to shorten the delivery chain from Chinese vehicle sources to European end customers and to strengthen the competitiveness of Chinese vehicles in the European market.
Cooperation Scope: More Than Selling Cars
The talks covered cooperation on several levels:
- Used and new vehicle exports – the first batch focusing on cost-effective passenger cars and new energy models;
- Customs clearance and compliance – Polish partners assisting with destination-country certification and registration;
- Automotive logistics – exploring a combination of sea freight and China-Europe rail services;
- Vehicle modification for export – pre-shipment preparation in China in line with EU regulations;
- Aftermarket services – after-sales support for exported vehicles through the local repair network.
Looking Ahead
With the details of the first phase of cooperation now taking shape, Racer House and its Polish partners are moving into implementation. Both sides also plan to deepen cooperation in information sharing, joint marketing and after-sales training, working together to build an efficient corridor running from Chinese vehicles, through the Polish gateway, into the EU market.
