AutoWallis

What AutoWallis does

AutoWallis Nyrt. is a publicly traded Hungarian automotive trading and mobility services company headquartered in Budapest and listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange (ticker HU0000167788). Founded in 2012, the company operates an integrated automotive distribution model across 17 Central and Eastern European countries, distributing 30 vehicle brands through three reporting segments: Wholesale (vehicle and parts distribution to dealers), Retail (company-owned dealerships and service centers), and Mobility Services (fleet management, vehicle rental, and related solutions). In FY2025 the company sold 54,046 vehicles and reported consolidated revenue of HUF 477 billion, up 19.8% year-over-year.

The company's distribution platform combines wholesale logistics, an e-commerce parts channel, and company-owned service centers, supported by ongoing investments in logistics hubs and IT infrastructure. Distribution partnerships span legacy brands — with Opel identified as the primary growth driver in the Croatia distribution segment — alongside Chinese EV manufacturers Nio (direct partnership for Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Czech Republic) and XPeng (joint venture with Salvador Caetano Group covering Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia, launching G6 and G9 SUVs in 2025 with the P7+ planned for H1 2026). The product portfolio therefore spans the Nio EL8, ET5, ET5 Touring, EL6, and Firefly sub-brand, XPeng G6 and G9 models, and a broad catalog of traditional ICE vehicles.

AutoWallis generates revenue primarily through one-time vehicle sales (via wholesale and retail channels), transaction-based replacement parts distribution, and higher-margin service operations conducted at company-owned service centers. The customer base spans B2B automotive dealers, fleet operators, and end consumers across Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Poland, and additional CEE markets. Growth has been driven both by acquisitions — NC Auto (Stratos) and Milan Král Group, completed in 2024 — and by an active build-out of EV brand partnerships that positions the company as a Central European distribution gateway for non-European OEMs.
