Ningbo Port is emerging as a major force in China's booming new energy vehicle (NEV) exports, posting record growth in the first 11 months of this year, with NEV exports through the port reaching 26 billion yuan ($3.69 billion), a 280.4 percent year‑on‑year surge. This figure already exceeds the combined total of the past three years, underscoring the port's rising global influence.
The United Arab Emirates, Brazil, and the European Union ranked as the top three destinations, with export values of 7.89 billion yuan, 3.57 billion yuan, and 2.8 billion yuan, respectively. NEVs now account for nearly 70 percent of all automobile exports from Ningbo, making them the primary driver of the port's export growth.
Exporters and logistics providers have reported intense activity, with Zhejiang Zhongda Yuantong International Trade Co's auto exports exceeding 11,000 units in the first 11 months, with NEVs making up more than one‑fifth. At CITIC Gangtong International Logistics Co, daily vehicle loading has averaged 50 containers, with year‑end demand pushing operations into overnight shifts.
To support the surge, Ningbo Customs has introduced streamlined clearance measures. By coordinating closely with automakers and shipping lines, customs authorities have improved the alignment of transport, berthing, and loading schedules, significantly boosting port efficiency.
