The ro-ro ship "Jinan" departed Nantong Port on May 31 with 7,273 BYD new energy vehicles bound for Italy, Spain, and other European countries. This marks Nantong Port’s first large-scale ro-ro export of commercial vehicles, demonstrating its capacity for major auto exports and opening a new overseas corridor for Chinese NEVs. The vehicles, from BYD’s plants in Hefei, Xi’an, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and elsewhere, were moved by rail and road to Nantong’s Yanglu Railway Auto Logistics Base before being shipped to Europe. This “rail‑to‑port‑to‑sea” multimodal transport model has greatly improved logistics efficiency.
