Vehicle marketplace Carmudi, which has presence in Asia, Africa and Latin America, is expanding in Southeast Asia, specifically the Philippines and Indonesia.
The company said the automotive sectors in these countries are thriving. The Association of Indonesian Automotive Manufacturers (Gaikindo) estimates Indonesia’s car sales to increase by 10 percent this year, possibly hitting a record high sales of 1.3 million vehicles. In the Philippines, the Oxford Business Group reported car sales increasing 43.6 percent from August 2012 to August 2013.
“Indonesians and Filipinos are driving more cars, trucks and motorbikes than ever, which means the demand is there for a high-quality classifieds platform that meets the needs of both buyers and sellers,” said Stefan Haubold, co-founder of Carmudi.
Car buyers can find or sell their car, motorcycle or commercial vehicle online through Camudi. The site offers diverse vehicle listings, with professional photos, detailed descriptions, as well as ranking for vehicles in each market. For dealers and agents, the site offers a business platform that allows them to have personalized web pages.
The site was founded in 2013 and is currently available in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mexico, Myanmar, Nigeria and Pakistan.
