Set the decision boundary
Build identity from the original-language registration, VIN plate, production date, manufacturer record, powertrain labels, battery plate and diagnostic information.
Identity controls every later decision. Keep original-language records beside translations, and reconcile legal identity with the physical vehicle.
Evidence to request
Photograph each identifier clearly and retain the original text beside any English translation. Confirm whether the trim description is factory, dealer or marketplace language.
Use the confirmed result to select charging, inspection, parts and export procedures.
What can invalidate the conclusion
Qiyuan and Nevo can describe branding contexts rather than guaranteed one-to-one specifications. Badges can be changed and listings can preserve outdated trim wording.
Resolve contradictions at source. Record the market, model year, test condition and quotation period beside any claim that depends on them.
Apply the decision to a real route
Two listings that look identical may be different production batches. Compare evidence columns, not only exterior colour and marketing name.
Turn the claim into an auditable vehicle record
Start in the original language and preserve unedited images of every identity point. Add an English working translation in a separate field, never over the source. Compare character by character across registration, VIN plate, manufacturer label, battery plate, diagnostic identity and seller documents. When one record uses a sales alias, note who supplied it and whether it has legal standing. A mismatch is not solved by choosing the name most familiar to a broker. The seller should explain it and provide a corrected authoritative record before inspection or payment.
For this decision, assign a source, date, reviewer and refresh point to every required field. The six controls below are not complete when merely mentioned in a sales message; each needs evidence strong enough for another reviewer to reach the same conclusion.
01 Original legal nameCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
02 VIN and production dateRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
03 Trim sourceState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
04 PowertrainCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
05 Battery and connectorRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
06 Document wordingState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
Before approval, read the file without relying on the original salesperson’s memory. Mark every unresolved item as a hold, give it an owner and deadline, and repeat affected checks when the vehicle, quotation, route or destination rule changes. This distinguishes a documented A06 candidate from a plausible but unverified listing.
Keep rejected evidence in the file with the reason it was rejected. This prevents an outdated screenshot, superseded quotation or mismatched brochure from returning later as if it were current proof, and it gives the destination receiver a clear audit trail.
Connect the result to the destination
Use one consistent legal description across invoice, customs declaration, booking and destination applications; explain aliases separately when useful.
Record the responsible party, evidence date, expiry or recheck point and the effect on cost or approval. A complete file makes remaining uncertainty visible; it does not turn an unknown into a confirmed feature.
Use the result in a buyer scenario
Two listings that look identical may be different production batches. Compare evidence columns, not only exterior colour and marketing name.
Finish with pass, hold or reject. A hold should name the missing evidence, owner and deadline. A replacement VIN begins a new review rather than inheriting approval.

Questions to close before approval
Why are both Qiyuan and Nevo used?
Qiyuan is the Chinese brand name while NEVO is used internationally; legal records still govern each vehicle.
Does a badge prove trim?
No. Verify labels, records and installed equipment.
Should aliases appear on export documents?
Use the legally required identity consistently and explain aliases only where appropriate.
