Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Aftermarket (AM)

The segment of the auto parts trade that supplies replacement components after a vehicle leaves the factory - filters, brake pads, shock absorbers, lamps, belts and similar wear or repair items. It is the core buying territory at this fair, and it is priced and packaged differently from factory-fit parts.

2

OE number

The original equipment part number assigned by the vehicle manufacturer. Chinese aftermarket suppliers quote OE cross-reference numbers so a distributor can match a part to a specific model and year; bringing a list of the OE numbers you buy most is the fastest way to work the halls.

3

OEM vs OES

OEM parts are made for vehicle assembly lines; OES parts are the same or equivalent parts sold through the manufacturer's service channel. Many exhibitors here supply both and will state which line a given SKU belongs to.

4

4S dealership

A Chinese authorised dealership model combining Sales, Spare parts, Service and Survey (customer feedback) under one roof. 4S groups are major aftermarket buyers and a key visitor segment at the show.

5

Tier-1 supplier

A company that supplies complete systems or modules directly to a vehicle manufacturer, such as a braking or HVAC module. Tier-1 buyers attend to qualify lower-tier component makers and second-source parts.

6

MOQ

Minimum order quantity - the smallest order a supplier will accept for a given SKU or packaging configuration. MOQ and price-tier sheets are the two documents most worth collecting from each stand.

7

Car parc coverage

The share of the vehicles on the road in a market that a given part range fits. Suppliers here often present coverage tables by model and model year rather than a simple product list.

8

Remanufactured part

A used core (alternator, starter, steering rack, turbocharger) rebuilt to specification with worn components replaced. Remanufactured lines are usually shown separately from new parts and carry their own warranty terms.

9

Consumables

High-turnover service items such as filters, oils, brake fluid, wipers, belts and spark plugs. Consumables anchor distributor cash flow, so they are typically the first category buyers price-compare at the fair.

10

CCC mark

China Compulsory Certification, required for a defined list of automotive products including certain lamps, safety belts, brake fluids and tyres. Ask exhibitors whether the listed SKU holds a valid CCC certificate for domestic sale.

11

OES channel

The service-parts channel controlled by the vehicle brand. Distributors use OES-grade references to persuade repair shops that an aftermarket part meets the same fitment and durability standard.

12

Fitment kit

A part plus the brackets, clips, gaskets or hardware needed to install it. Kitting reduces returns in the aftermarket and is a common differentiator when comparing two suppliers at the same price.

13

Distributor vs agent

A distributor buys stock and resells it on its own account; an agent sells on behalf of the manufacturer for commission. Chinese suppliers here generally look for regional distributors with warehouse and service capability.

14

Catalogue data (ACES/PIES style)

Structured product and application data that maps parts to vehicles. Buyers should ask whether the supplier can provide machine-readable catalogue data, not just printed brochures, for e-commerce and ERP listings.
