“The auto industry in China is set to become the largest in the world, with nearly 250 million cars. As the average life of cars on the road continues to increase, the $180 billion-plus automotive aftermarket will continue its strong growth,” said Chen “Alex” Xi, Haoqipei founder and CEO. “Haoqipei is transforming the process of purchasing auto parts by decreasing costs, improving quality and increasing speed and transparency. The value proposition to both buyers and sellers on our online platform is very strong.”

Yang said, “Haoqipei represents a unique opportunity to leapfrog offline auto parts distribution by moving directly to an online model.” He noted that Access Technology Ventures has been an investor in Haoqipei since 2018, calling it “a prime example of our investment thesis to back market-leading foundational technology companies serving large- end markets at compelling inflection points.”
