On the afternoon of March 9, at the Chengdu International Railway Port, a China-Europe Express train loaded with 200 'Made in Sichuan' cars was being loaded and was about to head to Russia. This is the fifth vehicle export train issued by Chengdu International Railway Port this year.
Last year, Chengdu International Railway Port imported and exported nearly 9,000 complete vehicles. From January to February this year, the import and export orders for complete vehicles reached 27,000 units. This figure even exceeds the cumulative total of 26,000 vehicles imported and exported over the past eight years.
Orders in two months have increased by more than 200% compared with the total volume of last year. Why has the import and export volume of complete vehicles increased significantly? How to continue to boost the growth of vehicle import and export?
Second, why the growth?
Domestic new energy vehicle export business opened
Parallel imported cars can also be purchased in the bonded car city
Chengdu Railway Port, located in Qingbaijiang District, is the only railway freight-type national open port in Sichuan. It was approved as a complete vehicle import port in February 2015.
On the desk of He Gang, deputy director of the International Trade and Modern Logistics Development Bureau of Qingbaijiang District, Chengdu, the reporter saw a form, which counted the annual import and export data of complete vehicles since the operation of the complete vehicle import port. Among them, there will be more than 4,000 units from 2019 to 2021, and 8,965 units in 2022. As of the end of 2022, the cumulative total import and export of complete vehicles at the Chengdu Railway Port will be more than 26,000 units.
'The order in the first two months of this year was 27,000 units, which has exceeded the total import and export volume in the past eight years.' He Gang pointed to the table and said, from the 'statistics of various dimensions' in the table, parallel imports of cars, imports of medium-sized cars, Subdivided items such as the export of new energy vehicles and second-hand vehicles, and the export of Damao vehicles (new fuel vehicles) will all increase significantly this year.
Why is there a huge increase? The first is the empowerment of channel construction. In October last year, the China-Europe Railway Express started from the Chengdu International Railway Port for the first time to open the export business of domestically produced new energy vehicles. At present, the normalized transportation of domestically produced new energy vehicles has been completed. He Gang said that compared with sea transportation, the import and export of complete vehicles by railway transportation can also save time and reduce costs for enterprises. More and more large trade vehicles and second-hand vehicles are exported to choose China Railway Express.
The trade industry base is also one of the important reasons. In August last year, the first bonded car city in our province, the Sino-European Automobile City in Qingbaijiang District, Chengdu, was put into operation. More than 300 parallel imported car booths have been set up. At present, more than 20 car dealers, supporting service providers and other enterprises have settled in. According to Chen Youfu, the operator of China-Europe Automobile City and general manager of Chengdu Zhengye Jixiang Parallel Automobile Sales Co., Ltd., consumers can not only buy overseas models that are not available in China in China-Europe Automobile City, but also make personalized configurations. Relying on the bonded function of Chengdu International Railway Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone, China-Europe Automobile City has greatly reduced the capital occupation and cost of dealers, and also reduced operational risks. After the Automobile City was put into operation, the scale of Chengdu's complete vehicle imports has been further expanded, and parallel imported vehicles have also ushered in a substantial increase.' Chen Youfu said.
Third, how to plan?
Invite more vehicle trading companies to 'go out'
Build a complete vehicle industry chain integrating trade and logistics
When He Gang was interviewed, he had just communicated with the person in charge of Chengdu Shijiu International Logistics Co., Ltd. about the details of an order. This year, the company will import 7,000 cars of a well-known international brand to Chengdu through the China-Europe Railway Express.

Promote the trade of complete vehicles and support the confidence and determination of enterprises to expand the market and grab orders. At present, the Sichuan Vehicle Trade Global Tour (Middle East Station) has brought 20,000 vehicle import and export orders to Chengdu International Railway Port.
How to make the import and export volume of complete vehicles continue to grow?
'We will continue to promote this global tour, and invite more vehicle trading companies to go to the world to carry out vehicle trade negotiations, display, exhibitions, and promotions.' He Gang said that Qingbaijiang District will rely on the China-Europe Automobile City in the next step to accelerate Create a distribution center for import and export of automobiles in the west.
In terms of export, Qingbaijiang District will further improve the international trade channel of complete vehicles, and focus on expanding the export markets of complete vehicles in the Middle East, Europe, Central Asia, ASEAN and other places.
