Marketplace for Cross-Border Commercial Vehicle Reuse "Truckers" Exceeds 1,000 Bid Partners (Buyer Companies) Nationwide

Azoop Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Park Gwi-song; hereinafter referred to as "Azoop"), which operates the marketplace "Truckers" that realizes cross-border reuse of commercial vehicles, is pleased to announce that the number of buyer companies (hereinafter referred to as "bid partners") participating in "Truckers" auctions nationwide surpassed 1,000 on June 29, 2026.

By having bid partners nationwide, including used truck dealerships, export businesses, and purchasing businesses, participate, competitive bidding occurs for vehicles listed by commercial vehicle owning companies, leading to fair price formation. The expansion of the buyer network directly contributes to creating an environment where commercial vehicle owning companies, as listers, can sell their vehicles "at a higher price and more efficiently."

Topic 1: Bid Partners Exceed 1,000 Nationwide

The number of "Truckers" bid partners (buyer companies participating in auctions) surpassed 1,000 nationwide on June 29, 2026. A diverse range of buyers, including used truck dealerships, export businesses, and purchasing businesses, participate from across the country, establishing a system where a wide array of bids are gathered for listed commercial vehicles.

Topic 2: Expansion of Buyers Promotes Sales at Fair Prices

With the increase in bid partners, an environment is created where more buyers can engage in competitive bidding for a single vehicle. As the number of buyers increases, bidding competition becomes more active, allowing listers, commercial vehicle owning companies, to expect "concluded sales at higher prices." Through its nationwide buyer network, "Truckers" promotes the efficiency of commercial vehicle distribution and fair price formation.

Topic 3: Online Auction for "Cross-Border Reuse" Transactions Across Borders

"Truckers" is a marketplace that realizes the "cross-border reuse" of commercial vehicles. Listed vehicles can be bid on online by bid partners nationwide, regardless of the lister's location, and transactions are concluded across prefectural borders. Furthermore, many of the bid partners are overseas export businesses, meaning cross-border transactions are also conducted on a daily basis. The unique value of "cross-border reuse" lies in the ability to sell at the highest price among buyers nationwide and overseas, transcending prefectural and national borders, without being limited to buyers within a specific region.

[Representative's Comment]

Our President and CEO, Park Gwi-song, commented on this milestone as follows:

"When "Truckers" was first launched, it was commonplace for commercial vehicle transactions to involve direct inspection of the physical vehicle, and it was even said that 'online sales and purchases were impossible.' Nevertheless, driven by our desire to make commercial vehicle distribution more efficient and fair, we have continuously challenged industry customs by refining our specialized appraisal technology and auction functions for commercial vehicles.

The fact that we have now surpassed 1,000 bid partners nationwide is entirely thanks to our partners who have believed in and used our services since the company's inception. I express my sincere gratitude.

We will continue to increase our membership and contribute to the asset utilization of companies that own commercial vehicles, including those in the transportation industry."

[Comment from Bid Partner Representative]

Daisuke Morihara, Manager of Sales Department 2

"70-80% of the secondary distribution of used trucks in Japan is through overseas export, and many of our bid partners are overseas purchasing businesses. Traditionally, it has not been easy for foreign businesses to directly procure vehicles from Japanese companies or other commercial vehicle owning companies due to language and business custom barriers. By "Truckers" acting as an intermediary between sellers and buyers, businesses that previously had no procurement opportunities can now participate with peace of mind, and the accumulation of these efforts has led to surpassing 1,000 companies.

As the number of buyers increases, commercial vehicle owning companies, as sellers, have the option to sell at the highest price among many buyers, rather than accepting the price offered by a single purchasing company. We will continue to increase reliable buyers both domestically and internationally and strive to create an environment where commercial vehicles can be sold at higher prices with confidence."

[Future Development]

"Truckers" will continue to expand its bid partners and work to create an environment where commercial vehicle owning companies can sell their vehicles at higher prices with peace of mind. Under the service mission "Turn Japan's Commercial Vehicles into Profit in 10 Minutes," we aim to become Asia's No. 1 commercial vehicle marketplace.
