BUFFALO, N.Y. — ACV Auctions announced the launch of Virtual Lift, billed as the industry’s first mobile vehicle undercarriage imaging tool.
Virtual Lift is a portable system capable of producing high-resolution undercarriage reconstructions, providing unprecedented insight into vehicle condition. The lightweight, low profile device utilizes ACV’s proprietary mobile hardware and software technology to provide a full bumper-to-bumper view and image of the vehicle’s undercarriage in less than one minute, all according to the announcement.
Virtual Lift elevates the level of trust and transparency in the ACV Auctions online marketplace by providing a never-before-seen look into a vehicle’s undercarriage. The inability to access a vehicle’s undercarriage is an element of buying risk the Virtual Lift can overcome,” said ACV CEO George Chamoun.
“Virtual Lift is just one more way for ACV Auctions to solidify the business as the most trusted and transparent marketplace for dealers to buy and sell their wholesale inventory,” Chamoun said. “Our teammates thrive on providing new technology solutions to solve challenges for buyers and sellers, and we couldn’t be more excited to share Virtual Lift with our dealer partners.
“We sound like a broken record with our relentless focus on being the most trusted way a dealer buys a used vehicle,” Chamoun added. “AMP and Virtual Lift demonstrate our commitment, and we are just getting started.”
