According to data released by China National Railway Group Co., Ltd., in the first half of 2023, China’s new energy vehicle sales reached 3.747 million; the railway sector transported more than 475,000 vehicles, adding “iron power” to the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry.
Faced with the growing demand for new energy vehicle export and transportation, the railway department has made good use of the transportation capacity of the China-Europe Railway Express, the Western Land-Sea New Corridor train, and the China-Laos Railway cross-border freight trains to carry out international trade for Chinese auto companies and “Made in China” Go out and open up a series of efficient and convenient international logistics channels.
According to Korgos Customs statistics, from January to June 2023, 18,000 new energy vehicles will be exported through Xinjiang Korgos Port, a year-on-year increase of 3.9 times.
In recent years, under the pressure of carbon emissions and the impact of the energy crisis, the policy support for new energy vehicles in various countries has continued to strengthen. Relying on the advantages of the industrial chain, China’s new energy vehicle exports have shown explosive growth. However, the capacity and timeliness of traditional shipping can no longer meet the current export demand for new energy vehicles. Especially after the China-Europe Railway Express lifts restrictions on the transportation of new energy vehicles in October 2022, many car companies have turned their attention to railway transportation. At present, domestically produced cars of Great Wall, Chery, Changan, Yutong and other brands have been exported from Khorgos Railway Port to Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other countries along the “Belt and Road”.
Lv Wangsheng, Deputy Chief of the Third Section of Xinjiang Horgos Customs Supervision Section, said that compared with sea transportation, the transportation environment of China-Europe Railway Express is stable, the route is stable, it is not easy to cause damage and corrosion to new energy vehicles, and there are many shifts and stops. The choice of car companies More richness will not only promote the prosperity of my country’s new energy vehicle manufacturing industry, but also help the popularization and promotion of new energy vehicles in the markets along the “Belt and Road”, so that more domestic products will go to the world. At present, the car trains exported through Khorgos Port mainly come from Chongqing, Sichuan, Guangdong and other places.
In order to ensure the rapid export of domestically produced automobiles overseas, Korgos Customs, a subsidiary of Urumqi Customs, dynamically grasps the export order needs of enterprises, conducts point-to-point docking services, guides enterprises to standardize declarations and arranges dedicated personnel for review, smooths the entire chain of business processes, and implements docking cargo arrivals According to the situation, the goods will be released upon arrival, the time for customs clearance of goods will be greatly shortened, and the cost of customs clearance for enterprises will be reduced. At the same time, it actively promotes the export policy of new energy vehicles, encourages foreign trade companies and train operators to explore the international market by relying on the advantages of China-Europe trains, and helps Chinese cars go global.
“Customs, railways and other departments have given great support to the transportation of new energy vehicles, which is a great benefit to the new energy vehicle industry.” Li Ruikang, manager of Shitie Special Cargo (Beijing) International Logistics Co., Ltd., who represents the batch of vehicles, said: ” In recent years, the proportion of Chinese automobiles exported to Europe is gradually increasing, and the China-Europe Railway Express has provided us with a new way to export automobiles. 25% of the exported automobiles represented by our company are exported by railway transportation, and the Horgos Port is our One of the main channels for the company to act as an agent for car exports.”
“We tailor the transportation plan for the export of commercial vehicles, strengthen coordination in the aspects of cargo loading, dispatching organization, etc., continuously improve the loading level and efficiency, open up green channels for fast customs clearance of vehicles, and fully meet the needs of railway transportation of commercial vehicles. The export of domestically produced automobiles is convenient and efficient, providing capacity support and effectively serving the development of the domestic automobile industry.” said Wang Qiuling, assistant engineer of the operation management department of Xinjiang Horgos Station.
At present, the export of new energy vehicles has become a bright spot in the export of domestically produced vehicles. The advantages of new energy vehicles in terms of economy and environmental protection further support the “rooting” of Chinese brands overseas and help China’s auto exports continue to heat up. Xinjiang Horgos Customs listened carefully to the demands of enterprises, popularized customs-related legal knowledge to enterprises, strengthened coordination and linkage with the Horgos Railway Port Station, and continuously improved the timeliness of customs clearance, creating a safer, smoother and more convenient environment for the export of new energy vehicles. The port customs clearance environment helps domestic new energy vehicles to accelerate to overseas markets.
In short, with the continuous export of electric vehicles, the demand for charging piles will continue to rise.
