According to the latest statistics of Shenzhen Customs, since the beginning of this year, the export volume of new energy vehicles in Shenzhen has been increasing, and 2,050 new energy vehicles have been exported from Yantian Port from January to February 2023.

Guangdong's foreign trade data for the first two months were released recently, and Guangdong's foreign trade stabilized and rebounded in February, with positive growth in imports, exports and imports and exports. Among them, the export of electric vehicles, photovoltaic products, and lithium batteries has increased significantly, represented by the "new three" of electricity, light, and lithium (electric vehicles, photovoltaic products, and lithium batteries), and products with high technology, high added value, and leading the green transformation have become the new export growth point of Guangdong. In the first two months, Guangdong's exports of electric manned vehicles, lithium batteries and solar cells increased by 15.4 times, 39.3% and 93.7% respectively.

It is reported that in 2022, China's total export of new energy vehicles reached 679,000, an increase of 1.2 times year-on-year, and the export demand for new energy vehicles is strong.

Byd has signed a cooperation agreement with SIXT, a global car rental company, which will purchase at least 100,000 new energy vehicles from BYD in the next six years to help reduce global carbon emissions.

Shenzhen enterprises' active expansion into emerging markets has achieved initial results. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative and the first anniversary of the formal implementation and entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

"At present, BYD's strategic adjustment to stop the production of fuel vehicles is the first time that domestic autonomous car companies have responded to the implementation of China's dual-carbon policy with practical actions, and it is an important measure for BYD to explore overseas markets, seize new opportunities to open up RCEP, and further expand the export of new energy vehicles." Byd group customs manager Li Guorong said.

Technological breakthroughs help export of new energy vehicles

Wu Bin, a member of the Shenzhen CPPCC and an expert member of the Shenzhen Decision-making Advisory Committee, believes that: "New energy vehicles represent the future development direction of automobiles, and have obvious advantages over traditional oil vehicles from the two levels of energy consumption effect and ecological protection." Our bold innovation in the application of technology based on international open source technology in tram technology has played a huge role in the development of new energy vehicles in China."

He said: "The breakthrough of new energy automobile enterprises represented by BYD in the bottleneck of new energy battery application technology has laid our comparative advantage in international competition in related fields, and thus also promoted the improvement of new energy automobile export performance and strong momentum." In particular, the petrol-electric plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model has a certain technological lead and can compete in the international market through quality and price."
