2023, China's Auto Exports Continued To Achieve Rapid Growth.
According to the latest data released by the General Administration of Customs, in the first four months of this year, the total value of my country's goods trade exports reached 7.67 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.6%. Among them, the performance of automobile exports is particularly bright. This week, data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers showed that in April this year, my country's auto companies exported 376,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 1.7 times, and continued to achieve rapid growth.
On May 12th, more than 10,000 vehicles of various brands were waiting to be loaded to sea at a ro-ro car terminal in Waigaoqiao Port Area, Shanghai. Since the beginning of this year, the scene of busy loading of vehicles has become the norm on the dock.
In the first quarter of 2023, Waigaoqiao Haitong Terminal will continue the strong momentum of last year’s automobile export exceeding one million vehicles, completing a total of 231,000 foreign trade automobile exports, of which new energy vehicles account for 40% of the total export volume, and the export routes are all over Europe and Southeast Asia , South America and the Middle East.
On May 11, at another terminal in Shanghai Port, 27 brand new domestic pure electric buses were also successfully shipped overseas. This is also the first time that the terminal has undertaken the export business of new energy buses. With the growing demand for automobile exports, the reporter noticed that some captains who used to drive bulk carriers at the port have now also transformed into car ro-ro ships.
Nearly 200 new energy vehicles were shipped on the last voyage. Car ro-ro ships have higher requirements than bulk carriers in terms of operation, and the transportation market for new energy vehicles is growing rapidly, so the demand for talents in this area is also growing.
From January to April this year, my country's auto companies exported a total of 1.37 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 89.2%. Among them, 348,000 new energy vehicles were exported, a year-on-year increase of 1.7 times.
From January to April this year, the export speed was even higher than last year. The core is that the competitiveness of Chinese auto products has been greatly improved. In terms of product quality control, supply chain management and maintenance service system, etc., we have relatively strong capabilities. good ability.
In addition, in the first quarter of this year, my country exported 1.07 million cars, a year-on-year increase of 58.1%. Japan, which ranked first in the world in terms of car exports last year, exported 954,000 cars in the first quarter, which is already lower than China's car exports in a single quarter.
At present, the export of Chinese automobiles is still a form of trade. The main development direction in the future is to make direct investment in the destination country. The entire supply chain system may also need to be delocalized. With the increase of exports in trade mode, our overseas direct investment mode will also enter a stage of rapid development.
