[Guangzhou's Auto Exports Top 120,000 Units in Jan–May, NEV Surge Over 90%]

Published: Jun 30, 2026 19:21

According to customs statistics, Guangzhou exported over 120,000 vehicles worth RMB 13.295 billion in the first five months of this year, up 65.8% and 56.1% year‑on‑year respectively. Among them, exports of electric passenger vehicles reached 75,500 units valued at RMB 9.36 billion, jumping 92.8% and 88.5% respectively, making auto exports a key driver of the city's foreign trade growth.

The rapid export growth is primarily attributed to Guangzhou's enhanced port capacity and service innovations. Nansha Port, equipped with seven berths of 10,000‑tonne class or above and an annual design throughput of over 3 million vehicles, operates 12 international ro‑ro routes. In the January–May period, some 192,000 vehicles were exported through Nansha auto terminal, with NEVs accounting for nearly half and posting growth of over 80%. Meanwhile, innovative models such as the "Guangzhou–Hong Kong Auto Export Express" have cut vehicle registration time from 14 days to 3 days upon arrival in Hong Kong, reducing per‑vehicle costs by more than RMB 2,000 and saving companies over RMB 12 million in total. The city has also issued the "Auto Export Guidebook" and regularly holds resource‑matching events to provide full‑process guidance for automakers.
