Shanghai Ports Set New Record for Car Exports in 2024
In 2024, Shanghai’s two main automobile export ports achieved a record-breaking export volume of over 1.66 million vehicles, a 26.6% increase compared to the previous year, according to local customs authorities on Wednesday.
The Haitong International Automotive Terminal, China’s largest port for RO-RO ships, serves as a key hub for Chinese car manufacturers exporting their vehicles. According to Shanghai Customs, the terminal has consistently exported around 1 million China-made cars annually over the past three years.
The Nangan Port also plays a significant role as a hub for car imports and exports in Shanghai, complementing the city’s robust automotive export infrastructure.
These two ports symbolize the rapid growth of China’s car exports in 2024. Data from China’s General Administration of Customs shows that last year, the country’s car exports increased by 23% year-on-year, reaching a record high of 6.41 million units.
