The start of 2026 has seen a booming explosion in China’s vehicle exports, with Shanghai Port leading the growth as a core international hub. At the same time, HongDe, a professional provider of ro-ro shipping services, offers stable, efficient ro-ro solutions from Guangzhou Port, helping Chinese automakers and new energy vehicles reach global markets via southern China ports.
1. Strong Growth: Shanghai Port Vehicle Exports Double in First Two Months
