On January 31, it was learned from Shanghai Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) Haitong wharf that 517 SAIC mingjue, the last batch of export vehicles before the Spring Festival, had set sail to sea by RO ro ship “Wisteria elite”. This is also the 11th batch of Chinese made cars exported overseas under the supervision and inspection of Shanghai Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) customs since 2022.
Shanghai Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) port is the largest automobile import and export port in China. Among them, Haitong wharf undertakes more than 90% of Shanghai’s automobile export, and has maintained rapid export growth since June 2020. According to the data of Shanghai Customs, in 2021, Shanghai exported 484000 cars, with an export volume of 57.01 billion yuan, both reaching a record high, with a year-on-year increase of 136% and 206% respectively.
There are two main reasons for China Auto Yangwei overseas. At first, it was because a large number of factories stopped production under the complex overseas epidemic, resulting in the transfer of some local production capacity to China, which was the first to resume production. But the deeper reason is that China’s own brand cars have been deeply cultivated in the overseas market for many years, are gradually entering the harvest period, and seize the opportunity in the epidemic. Since 2020, the EU has opened the strictest carbon emission regulations in history. The transition period is only one year. All European countries have increased or expanded the amount and scope of subsidies for new energy vehicles. Therefore, Europe has rapidly become the world’s largest new energy vehicle market. Among them, relying on excellent technology and quality, Chinese cars have undertaken the explosive growth of the demand for new energy vehicles in Europe. Among them, SAIC Maxus ev30 new energy vehicles began to export to Norway in the alpine region; The European version of Aichi U5 in Jiangxi Province was sent from Shanghai to Belgium and France; Geely’s Jixing brand new energy vehicles also opened the curtain of global delivery, with 1285 vehicles exported to Europe in June 2020 alone.
Therefore, even if the production capacity of overseas automobile factories is gradually restored, China’s domestic automobile exports are still in play, and the number of domestic cars boarding from Shanghai Haitong wharf is still rising sharply. It is reported that since 2022, the number of cars exported from Haitong wharf across the country has reached more than 88000, a net increase of 33000 compared with the same period in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 60%.
As a result, Haitong wharf has frequent “car denseness”, and the wharf yard has to “make careful calculations” to cope with the peak of vehicle export by renting peripheral sites and increasing the frequency of field merging by car transfer drivers. The Shanghai Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) customs is ready to deal with temporary orders, weekend orders and urgent orders, start a 24-hour service mechanism, send more people to work overtime in Hong Kong, and set up a green inspection channel to ensure zero delay in automobile export customs clearance.
