NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SunCar Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SDA) ("SunCar" or the "Company"), an innovative leader in cloud-based B2B auto services and auto e-insurance in China, is pleased to announce new and renewed partnerships with several branches of Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd. ("Ping An P&C", 2318.HK), including in Shanghai, Guangdong, Foshan, Hebei, and Shanxi. The total contract value from these agreements exceeds 30 million RMB (approximately USD 4.2 million), marking another major milestone in SunCar's ongoing collaboration with one of China's largest insurance groups.

This latest milestone includes a mix of new partnerships and contract renewals.

Foshan Ping An is re-engaging with SunCar after a hiatus.

The scope of these new agreements goes beyond traditional car wash and maintenance services. SunCar will introduce an expanded suite of premium auto services, including clay bar waxing, polishing, wheel alignment, ozone disinfection, and air conditioning sterilization. These value-added services allow Ping An P&C to deliver an exceptional customer experience, broadening its service offerings provided through SunCar's collaboration.

With this latest round of contracts, SunCar continues to demonstrate its ability to scale and deliver tailored solutions across multiple service categories, positioning itself as a key partner to Ping An P&C's extensive nationwide network.

Ye Zaichang, Chairman and CEO of SunCar commented, "Our expanding partnership with Ping An P&C reflects our shared commitment to delivering exceptional auto services to customers. The addition of new service offerings ranging from in-depth car care to high-end disinfection solutions underscores our ability to meet the evolving needs of Ping An's clients and demonstrates the trust and confidence they place in us. As we deepen our cooperation, we are enhancing the service portfolio but also expanding the number of partnered car wash locations, upgrading service quality, and supporting Ping An in promoting their insurance products."
