How to Transport New Energy Vehicles?

With the growing popularity of new energy vehicles in the global market, their export volume has been growing rapidly, posing challenges to international logistics and transportation. How can we efficiently meet the export transportation needs of automobile enterprises?

Since 2021, Chinese automobile exports have experienced a remarkable turnaround, surpassing the combined export volumes of 2019 and 2020, reaching 2.015 million vehicles. In 2022, China's automobile exports continued to break records, surpassing Germany to become the world's second-largest automobile exporter after Japan by August. Mexico, Chile, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Russia are the main export destinations for Chinese-made new energy vehicles, and the demand in European markets, such as Australia, Belgium, and the UK, is also steadily increasing.

However, the robust demand for exports has brought forth fresh challenges in international transportation. Traditional automobile exports predominantly depend on sea transportation, specifically through Ro-Ro vessels. Nevertheless, the scarcity of available Ro-Ro vessels has resulted in many car manufacturers having to endure lengthy waiting periods for export shipments since July 2022. As of the conclusion of 2022, Ro-Ro vessel schedules have been fully booked for a three-month period in advance.

Let's take an example of one automobile company that we have served. As the enterprise prepared for the upcoming new car launch event in Europe and Latin America, they found themselves facing a significant hurdle in transporting vehicles overseas due to the unavailability of Ro-Ro vessels.

After carefully analyzing the customer's requirements, we developed two alternative solutions: utilizing Ro-Ro vessel transport and container transport. A thorough comparison was conducted, taking into account both the time and economic costs involved. Considering the urgency of transportation time, the container transport solution was ultimately selected to expedite the delivery process. However, it is important to note that this option entails more complex customs procedures compared to the Ro-Ro vessel solution. Vehicle safety can not be ignored via container ships too.

To address the first challenge, YQN selected 40-foot containers and designed a specialized structure to ensure the stability of the vehicles. Each hub of the vehicle was secured with straps fastened to hooks on both sides of the container. The area where the strap and the hub come into contact is made of special materials that wouldn't get scratched or damaged. The solution ensures safe, stable, and undamaged transportation of the vehicles.

Regarding vehicle safety, as new energy vehicles contain batteries that are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods, YQN developed a comprehensive customs clearance solution to ensure the dangerous goods smoothly pass through customs.

In 2022, China's new energy vehicle exports accounted for 30% of global exports. With over dozens of domestic car brands entering the European and American markets, the Chinese new energy vehicle has embraced new global development opportunities.
