For correct model-family identification, first define what a pass looks like. Then compare the actual vehicle with that standard using documents, inspection media and destination advice.
Decide correct model-family identification
Treat T2, Traveller, Shanhai T2, Traveller C-DM and T2 i-DM as related search terms rather than interchangeable specifications. Begin with production country, full Chinese model description, fuel type, engine, battery where fitted and body length.
Evidence for correct model-family identification
Photograph the rear badge, charge port, engine bay, VIN and manufacturer plate. Reconcile the Chinese registration fuel field and model code with the seller’s English translation.
Export and ownership exposure
A translated listing may shorten a PHEV or extended-body description to “T2.” That can change freight dimensions, battery shipping documents, maintenance needs and destination tax.
Apply the decision to a real candidate
If a buyer requests a global-market T2 but accepts China sourcing, write which China-market equivalent is acceptable and which features are mandatory. Never let a familiar grille or badge close the identity question.
Build the VIN-linked record
Keep one dated decision log. Each entry should identify the source, vehicle, finding and next action for official model name, production date, fuel and battery type. Attach commercial evidence separately so technical acceptance is not rewritten by negotiation.
Common approval mistakes
The common shortcut is treating a model-level fact as candidate proof. Verify official model name physically and on records, qualify body length by destination, and exclude any unconfirmed feature from the value calculation.
Close the decision
Before this file advances, reconcile official model name with the vehicle and its documents, and price any unresolved fuel and battery type consequence. Record who controls market equipment after arrival. If the answer exists only in an informal message, move it into the dated approval record or leave the candidate on hold.
Independent review for correct model-family identification
A broker, technician and owner should be able to reach the same identity conclusion even if they value the vehicle differently. Give each person the material relevant to production date, drivetrain and fuel and battery type. Reconcile terminology before contract wording is final.
Arrival controls for correct model-family identification
Before departure, name the person who will check body length and the budget holder for market equipment. At destination, compare the odometer, warning state, body and included items with the loading report before custody changes again.
