CarOnSale is a Berlin-based B2B marketplace that has established itself as Europe's leading platform for used car trading. Founded in 2018, the company connects professional dealers and original equipment manufacturers through technology-driven solutions that streamline the wholesale vehicle market. The company operates across Europe and has secured €70 million in Series C funding, positioning it to capitalise on a €450 billion total addressable market.
The platform addresses operational inefficiencies in used car trading through several integrated capabilities. COSCheck provides transparent vehicle condition reporting, whilst AI-powered pricing algorithms automate pricing decisions across different markets. CarOnSale also manages cross-border transport logistics, handling the physical complexity of moving vehicles across European borders. The company has established itself as a trusted partner with major automotive players, including Mercedes-Benz, which uses the platform for digital vehicle auctions.
CarOnSale's technology stack spans B2B marketplace dynamics, SaaS infrastructure, fintech services, and logistics optimisation. The combination of these domains reflects the company's approach to solving wholesale automotive trade through integrated digital infrastructure rather than isolated point solutions.
