Chabot Mobility joins Mongolia Voyager project to export K-mobility infrastructure www.biz.chosun.com
Mobility concierge platform company Chabot Mobility said on the 10th that it took part in the Transportation Safety Korea Transportation Safety Authority’s (TS) “2025 TS Mongolia Voyager project,” laying the groundwork to enter the Mongolian mobility market.
Held in Mongolia for four days starting Sept. 6, the project is a one-stop overseas export support program promoted as a selected task under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ “2025 first joint overseas expansion support program for large and small companies.” Chabot Mobility participated as one of 13 outstanding domestic venture and small companies, showcasing the competitiveness of K-mobility on the ground.
In this project, Chabot Mobility unveiled an integrated export model covering the entire vehicle life cycle, including an EV mini truck, an automatic car wash system, a used-car certification solution, and a software-as-a-service (SaaS) digitalization service for vehicle inspection, and presented a plan to build customized mobility infrastructure for the local market. It drew strong interest from the local government and buyers for its goal of an industrial localization model that can expand beyond short-term product supply to EV assembly, maintenance, inspection, and certification.
The background that made such a model possible, the company noted, is its platform-based, end-to-end auto-commerce competitiveness. It has already operated the B2C vehicle management app “Chabot,” used by more than 720,000 people in Korea, along with a network of about 1,000 maintenance shops and dealers, building a system to provide EV supply, infrastructure facilities, and digital operating systems in an integrated manner.
Mongolia has a high penetration rate, with a population of 3.5 million and more than 1.4 million registered vehicles, but basic infrastructure such as maintenance, inspection, car wash, and certification remains lacking. More than 80% of imported vehicles are Japanese right-hand-drive cars that do not match the road system, posing a high accident risk, and there is no system to guarantee used-car quality. The frigid climate and poor car wash infrastructure also add to drivers’ inconvenience. Chabot Mobility said it drew attention locally by proposing EV mini trucks, an automatic car wash system, a certification-based used-car export model, and inspection SaaS as solutions to address these structural issues.
Chabot Mobility signed an agreement last year with Autoland, a local corporation in Mongolia, and has been carrying out a K-used-car export business. The Voyager project, building on the existing business, will serve as a springboard to expand into EVs and vehicle management infrastructure, the company said, adding that it plans to establish a phased market-entry strategy based on a cooperation framework with the Mongolian government and local corporations.
Kang Seong-geun, CEO of Chabot Mobility, said, “The Mongolia Voyager project is significant as the first case where Chabot has demonstrated a platform-based industrial model locally beyond simple product exports,” adding, “Mongolia’s auto market is growing rapidly, and there is ample room to improve systems and infrastructure, making it a region where Chabot’s data and platform capabilities can be most effectively applied.”
