The port of Ningbo-Zhoustan, located in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang, has become a new gateway for the export of new-energy vehicles to be transported in a container by sea-rail combined method. The aforementioned port also witnessed the arrival of the last 402 vehicles of a batch of 93 units to be exported from new energy vehicles manufactured in China on Thursday, November 24. The vehicles were shipped by a container train from the neighboring province of Jiangsu. Now these will be set off in the European direction in bulk with the container carrier.
Xu Bin, head of sea-train transportation service at Ningbo Zhoushan Port Company, explained that this new mode of transportation will facilitate the export of new energy vehicles, given the global shortage of conventional transportation services and the continuous increase in China’s automobile exports.
According to data from the China Automobile Manufacturers Association, exports of new energy vehicles reached 499 thousand units in the first ten months of this year, doubling compared to the same period last year.
