Tianli
Explore our baseline fleet selection optimized for the Latin American market. These models combine high fuel efficiency, hybrid performance, and reliable build quality suitable for urban grids and regional transit across Uruguay.
Uruguay is positioned as a leading Latin American nation in terms of decarbonization. With over 98% of its electricity generated from renewable sources (including wind, solar, and hydro), the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid solutions provides a direct reduction in carbon footprints. This clean grid makes Uruguayan businesses and consumers highly receptive to New Energy Vehicles (NEVs).
Recognizing this potential, the Uruguayan government has instituted key fiscal incentives to promote EV adoption. The IMESI (Impuesto Específico Interno), which is a major internal tax on new vehicles, is set to 0% for fully electric vehicles, compared to up to 115% for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with larger displacements. Furthermore, corporate purchasers can leverage investment promotion systems like COMAP to secure substantial corporate income tax (IRAE) waivers when integrating clean energy fleets. This economic alignment makes importing Chinese NEVs highly profitable for dealership networks and corporate logistics partners alike.
In international trade, particularly from China, "Zero-Mile" pre-owned vehicles refer to brand-new vehicles that have been registered under a dealer license in the country of origin solely to satisfy export regulations, and then immediately de-registered. These vehicles have never been driven by consumer owners, retaining odometer readings near zero. This model allows B2B importers in Uruguay to access the latest vehicle models from major brands (such as BYD, AITO, and Leapmotor) rapidly, circumventing factory backorders and territorial franchise limitations.
Uruguayan distributors no longer need to negotiate with multiple manufacturers. Tianli provides a consolidated portfolio of gasoline, hybrid, and electric models under a single international contract.
Holding official export credentials from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, we coordinate secure transactions, complete legal clearances, and execute standardized vehicle diagnostics before shipment.
We handle inland transit in China, export documentation, customs clearance at major shipping ports (such as Shanghai or Qingdao), and coordinate maritime freight to the Port of Montevideo.
To meet the rising demand for high-performance off-road engineering and premium electric utility crossovers in Uruguay's agricultural and urban environments, we offer specialized Chinese EV builds with state-of-the-art battery integrations.
Every vehicle imported into Uruguay must meet the standards set by the Laboratorio Tecnológico del Uruguay (LATU). This includes compliance verification for braking systems (ABS), safety components (airbags, crash structures), and emissions or electrical safety norms. Our technical team works alongside registered Uruguayan customs brokers to provide pre-shipment vehicle diagnostic certificates, battery health evaluations, and standardized VIN declarations, ensuring seamless approval at the Port of Montevideo.
To mitigate the risk of downtime, Tianli offers comprehensive spare parts support packages. For commercial operations and dealer groups, we bundle essential components (brake rotors, suspension assemblies, oil/air filters, and cooling elements) directly into the vehicle containers. In the case of advanced electronic systems, we coordinate with engineers to provide OBD diagnostic protocols and remote software updates, helping local technicians resolve issues efficiently.
In addition to automotive distribution, Tianli is a leader in the development and deployment of defense technologies for low-altitude unmanned aerial systems (UAS). As the usage of commercial and industrial drones increases globally, the threat of unauthorized drone incursions near airports, critical agricultural installations, national borders, and cargo ports has become a critical security issue in Latin America.
We provide Uruguayan defense coordinators, private ports, and governmental clients with scale-appropriate UAS detection and countermeasure platforms. Our portfolio covers radio frequency (RF) scanning, electro-optical tracking, active jammer systems, and unified command-and-control software designed to safeguard sensitive infrastructure against unmanned aerial threats.
Explore our core catalog of hybrid and full-electric (EV) sedans, compact hatchbacks, and mid-to-large SUVs sourced directly from leading manufacturing networks. Perfect for taxi operators, corporate logistics, and dealership inventories in Montevideo and across Uruguay.
To successfully integrate New Energy Vehicles into the Uruguayan industrial framework, importers must tailor their sourcing to specific functional demands. We customize our automotive solutions for key target sectors:
Urban commuter taxi and rideshare services in Montevideo require highly economical, short-wheelbase pure electric hatchbacks like the BYD Seagull. The low operational and electricity cost per kilometer maximizes income margins for fleet owners.
Mid-to-large business hubs operating between Montevideo and Punta del Este require reliable plug-in hybrid SUVs (e.g. BYD Song PLUS DM-i) or premium long-range sedans (e.g. BYD Han DM) to bypass charging stopovers along Route 1.
Using dual-mode utility architectures combined with integrated unmanned aerial security (UAS) platforms, we empower port control, customs security zones, and extensive agricultural acreage owners to monitor activities and secure borders.
Get answers to the technical, regulatory, and logistics queries frequently encountered when sourcing vehicles from China to Uruguay.
Fully electric vehicles (EVs) qualify for a 0% rate on the IMESI (Impuesto Específico Interno). Additionally, corporate buyers importing clean energy fleets under the COMAP framework can receive corporate income tax (IRAE) deductions based on their investment metrics. Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) also receive discounted IMESI brackets relative to traditional gasoline engines.
Ocean transport via Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) or containerized freight from major Chinese ports (such as Shanghai, Ningbo, or Qingdao) to the Port of Montevideo typically spans 35 to 45 days. Weather conditions, transshipment routing, and port terminal wait times can affect this schedule.
For export clearance in China, these vehicles are processed using used-car export licenses (due to regulatory requirements for non-franchise trade). However, since they have nominal odometer readings, they are verified at Uruguayan customs using their original production parameters. Our shipping team provides clear VIN declarations and technical profiles to prevent classification delays.
Electric vehicles exported from China utilize the GB/T charging standard (for both AC slow and DC fast charging). Uruguay's public charging network, operated by UTE, primarily supports Type 2 (AC) and CCS2 (DC) standards. We can supply high-quality, certified GB/T to Type 2 or GB/T to CCS2 adapters, enabling trouble-free charging at public charging stations across the country.
We provide customized spare parts packages (including brake pads, filters, electrical components, and body panels) shipped in the same containers as the vehicles. In case of localized battery issues, we offer remote diagnostic support to help Uruguayan technicians identify and resolve faults. We also assist with factory-level replacement parts procurement when needed.
