Automatic eCoC Certificate Signing: SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle Connects EU Verification

Company Introduction

SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle is the passenger vehicle business unit of SAIC Motor. It operates well-known brands such as Roewe, MG, and Feifan, and has continued to expand its presence in overseas markets, especially in Europe.

As MG electric vehicles and other models are exported to Europe and the Middle East, SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle must manage a large volume of compliance documentation. For vehicles entering the EU market, the electronic Certificate of Conformity (eCoC) is a critical document in the regulatory verification process.

Business Challenges

Exporting vehicles into the EU requires timely and accurate handling of eCoC XML certificates. The traditional certificate workflow created several operational and compliance pressures:

• EU regulatory verification requires a standardized certificate process and timely submission.
• Certificate applications, signing, verification, and connection with member-state systems must be handled as a closed loop.
• CA integration and certificate signing requirements increase implementation complexity.
• Multiple production and export bases need consistent certificate management and scalable signing capabilities.

In cross-border vehicle compliance, delays in certificate signing can affect downstream customs clearance, registration, and market delivery. SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle needed an automated and compliant eCoC signing workflow.

Solution & Results

eSign.AI helped SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle build an automated eCoC XML certificate signing process. Through API integration and standardized certificate templates, the company can connect certificate application, digital signing, compliance verification, and follow-up status handling in one workflow.

The solution supports structured XML template management, automated signing, and compliance-oriented digital signature execution. It also helps ensure that certificate data and signature records can meet the requirements of EU verification scenarios.

By replacing manual or fragmented certificate handling with a standardized digital process, SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle improved certificate circulation speed and reduced coordination pressure across export-related teams.

Application Impact

The eCoC certificate signing cycle was shortened from 7 days to 1 day, with signing efficiency improved by 120%. Compliance verification efficiency increased by 200%.

The automated workflow gives SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle a more reliable foundation for EU vehicle exports, helping the company support large-scale overseas delivery with faster and more traceable compliance documentation.
