OPENLANE accelerates growth of German dealer car offering

Tienen, 22 May 2026 – OPENLANE has significantly expanded its German dealer car offering, nearly doubling the number of dealer auctions it organizes in Germany year-on-year and broadening access to vehicles aligned with the needs of the German market. The expanded offering includes popular models and equipment packages, trusted dealer stock, and vehicles with local documentation and service history records, supporting greater transparency and helping dealers bring the right cars to market more confidently.

The continued expansion of OPENLANE’s German supply is contributing to a highly active marketplace environment, with strong engagement from both buyers and sellers across the platform. German dealer vehicles continue to attract strong buyer interest, with the vast majority of auctions successfully converting into sales. The improving success rate points to a healthy balance between buyer demand and seller expectations.

Strong demand for young German dealer cars and EVs

The openlane.eu platform sees particularly strong performance in younger vehicles, and especially German dealer cars aged between two and four years old, including SUVs, which are sold both cross-border and within the German domestic market. The growth also extends to electric vehicles. German EV dealer cars are seeing particularly strong buyer demand and have also nearly doubled year-over-year, reflecting rising demand for younger electric stock on the platform. German dealer vehicles also continue to perform strongly operationally, with fast seller response times and efficient post-auction processing helping buyers bring vehicles to market more quickly.

Commitment to local market needs

Grainne van Berkum, President of OPENLANE Europe, says: “By expanding our offer of German dealer vehicles, we are making it easier for our customers to find stock that fits local buyer expectations and can be brought to market quickly. This is another step in our commitment to helping dealers buy with confidence, work more efficiently and grow their business with the right vehicles for their market.”

Quicker and easier buying process

Alongside the increased dealer vehicle supply, OPENLANE offers several related services aimed at simplifying the buying process. These include digital negotiation options on many vehicles, local delivery with competitive transport rates and the Optimo deferred payment service.
