Green Corner 2.0 Platform Update: New Features and Rules Effective from 2026

The Green Corner 2.0 platform (GC 2.0) continues to actively develop, becoming a more convenient and efficient tool for purchasing and selling vehicles in Japan.

What Has Been Improved

As part of the platform’s development, the following key improvements have been implemented:

• New photo standards — more details, cleaner images, and clearer presentation of vehicle condition

• Detailed videos with paint thickness measurements — transparent information on paintwork and body history

• Parallel listing in the One Price system — wider exposure and faster sales

• Enhanced promotion through the company’s social channels (Telegram, YouTube, etc.) — additional buyer traffic

• Optimized storage and sales processes — fewer manual actions, greater predictability, and better control

All these improvements are aimed at helping clients make decisions faster, assess vehicles more accurately, and plan next steps more efficiently.
