Why Automotive Aftermarket Dealers Are Investing in Electric Tailgate Systems Solutions

Understand the electric tailgate trend

An electric tailgate, also known as an electric trunk, is a system that controls the opening and closing of the tailgate by electric, remote, voice, etc. In simple terms, it can free the user's hands to complete the design of accessing items in other smarter and more convenient ways. The car electric tailgate drive system consists of components such as support rods, ECU, self-priming locks, kicks, brackets, and pneumatic springs, and is divided into single-drive, dual-drive, electric suction, and kicks. It has become a standard upgrade configuration for modern vehicles and is commonly found in SUVs, electric vehicles, and commercial vans.

According to Wikipedia, electric tailgates are designed to provide convenience and safety, especially when loading and unloading goods.

More and more companies in the automotive aftermarket are aware of the value of wholesale electric tailgate systems. These products not only attract end users with strong spending power, but also bring rich returns on investment to agents.

Why are electric tailgates becoming more and more popular?

Improve convenience and safety

As an innovative automotive intelligent system, the electric tailgate provides users with a convenient way to control the tailgate switch. Whether through the key, tailgate switch or main driver switch, you can easily control the opening and

closing of the car tailgate. Corepine Electric Tailgate Company has also launched a voice control function, which greatly improves convenience.
In addition, it also incorporates many humanized functions such as AI intelligent anti-pinch, height adjustment, sound warning and obstacle detection functions, which greatly ensures the safety of users and vehicles during use.

Popularity in the SUV and electric vehicle markets

SUV and electric vehicles are the fastest growing market segments in the automotive industry. SUVs are generally >1.8 meters above the ground due to their large tailgate height, which is inconvenient to operate manually, and electric tailgates have become a rigid configuration. At present, the penetration rate of electric tailgates in global SUV models is about 20%-30%.

According to Statista statistics, global SUV sales have increased year by year, and 70% of SUV owners list electric tailgates as a key consideration for car purchases. This provides strong support for the after-sales market of electric tailgates.

Improve vehicle value and user experience

Buyers consider automatic tailgate systems as a must-have luxury configuration for cars, and installing one can improve the perceived value of the vehicle.

For example, upgrading an ordinary SUV with an intelligent electric tailgate allows you to enjoy the features of higher-end models without spending the price of a luxury brand model. Electric tailgates have been decentralized from luxury models such as Mercedes-Benz G-Class to ordinary models such as BYD Haibao and Lynk & Co 03, becoming the core selling point of "entry-level high-end configuration" for car companies. In addition, the value retention rate report shows that models equipped with electric tailgates, such as Tank 300 and Trumpchi GS8, have a three-year value retention rate of over 60%, which is higher than the industry average.
