The solution maintains a tamper-proof record about the entire history of a vehicle, including its original owner, mileage, maintenance history, insurance, and more.
Fostering Transparency in Second-Hand Car Transactions
At a time when the second-hand car industry is experiencing a significant boom, with more than 40.8 million units of second-hand vehicles sold in the United States alone in 2019, the VeChain team says its blockchain solutions eliminate information barriers in the fairly-used car market, while also safeguarding the true rights and interests of automobile owners.
