Through innovation, we have created three major carriers: trading centers, comprehensive service platforms, and industrial workstations, achieving full process coverage from vehicle source integration, maintenance and testing to customs clearance and export, and overseas services, injecting strong impetus into the high-quality development of the county economy.
