Based on the consensus of both parties' cooperation, Baturu will become the online strategic partner of ZF Aftermarket's independent aftermarket business in Greater China. Utilizing its strong advantages in data, systems, warehousing and distribution, and channels, it will provide ZF Aftermarket's independent aftermarket business with online product sales, market promotion, and marketing. As a global leader in the automotive aftermarket, ZF Aftermarket will provide high-quality transmission and chassis components as well as related aftermarket services through the Baturu Auto Parts Store platform, better serving end-user repair companies with reliable ZF Aftermarket brands including ZF, Sachs, Lemförder, and Tianhe parts and service support.
