At this year’s BYD Dealer Conference in Oberjoch, Germany, on September 22, 2026, STERNAUTO was honored with two prestigious awards: “Dealer of the Year” and “Service Excellence Partner.”

With more than 400 representatives from BYD’s German dealer network in attendance, the conference focused on the strategic development of the brand, future growth opportunities, and the continued strengthening of the partnership between BYD and its dealer network. Customer centricity, operational excellence, and the continuous improvement of processes were key priorities.

For STERNAUTO, these awards represent strong recognition of the performance and commitment of our teams across sales and service. They reflect the high standards we have set for our operations and, above all, the dedication and professionalism of our people.

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting local communities, the LSH Credit UK team recently spent a rewarding day volunteering at Little Nest Rescue, a charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming vulnerable animals.

The day provided an opportunity for colleagues to step away from their usual routines and contribute directly to the charity's important work. Working together, the team assisted with a variety of practical tasks around the rescue centre, helping to maintain the facilities and support the ongoing care of the animals.

The experience highlighted the value of teamwork, community engagement and giving back. Beyond the tasks completed on the day, it was an opportunity for colleagues to strengthen connections, learn more about the challenges faced by animal welfare organisations, and make a meaningful contribution to a local cause.

LSH Auto Australia is pleased to support Street Side Medics in the opening of its new Civic clinic in Canberra, reinforcing our commitment to making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate.

The clinic was officially launched at Parliament House on 11 August 2026, with supporters, community partners and federal parliamentarians in attendance, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Located at Vinnies Roadhouse at The Griffin Centre in Civic, the mobile clinic will operate every Thursday from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, providing accessible healthcare services to people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.

Supporting initiatives that address local community needs is an important part of LSH Auto Australia’s broader corporate social responsibility commitment. We are proud to support Street Side Medics and its volunteers as they help make essential healthcare more accessible within the Canberra community.

德惠利星行希望小學是利星行汽車攜手北京青基會於2011年援建落成的希望學校之一。此後十五年間，長春之星與利星行（長春）持續關注校園發展，針對學校不同階段的實際需求，在美育教學、校園設施、防疫醫療等方面提供支持，逐步改善鄉村小學的辦學條件。
