Services

LHD to RHD Conversion Service

Full steering conversion for the UK, Japan, Australia, Thailand and Southern Africa, performed at certified facilities.

The problem it solves

Chinese manufacturers build for a left-hand-drive domestic market. Right-hand-drive markets are therefore locked out of most of the domestic model range unless the vehicle is converted or the manufacturer happens to build a factory RHD variant.

How we handle it

Where a factory RHD build exists we source it directly — that is always the first option we check. Where it does not, we carry out a full conversion at a certified facility: steering column, dashboard, wiper linkage and head-up display all re-aligned to specification.

What is included

01

Factory RHD checked first

Selected models, including the Zeekr X, are available as factory right-hand-drive builds. A factory unit is always preferable to a conversion and we quote it whenever it exists.

02

Full column conversion

Where no factory build exists: steering column relocation, dashboard and binnacle transfer, pedal box, wiper linkage reversal and HUD re-alignment.

03

Destination markets

UK, Ireland, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Southern African markets are the regular destinations for this work.

04

Photo-documented stages

Each stage of the conversion is photographed at the facility and sent to you the same day rather than summarised at the end.

Questions

The things buyers ask first

Is a converted car as good as a factory RHD build?

A factory build is always preferable and we source one whenever the model offers it — the Zeekr X, for example. Conversion exists for the models that have no factory RHD variant at all. Where we convert, the work is done at certified facilities and photo-documented stage by stage.

Does conversion affect the homologation process?

It is central to it. Destination inspection regimes examine the steering conversion closely, which is why the work is done at certified facilities and documented. We confirm the destination's requirements before the vehicle is booked in.

How long does conversion add to the lead time?

Conversion work sits inside the day 05–12 modification window of our standard timeline. It is the main reason a converted unit sits at the longer end of the 18–35 day range.
