In recent years, Shenzhen Port Group and BYD have closely collaborated, achieving remarkable results in the automobile export business. From 2024 to July 2025, the automotive throughput at Shenzhen Port Group's port areas reached 220,000 vehicles. Since its opening, Xiaomo Port has successfully established 13 domestic and international roll-on/roll-off shipping routes, with an automotive throughput of nearly 100,000 vehicles.

According to BYD's financial report for the first half of 2025, its overseas revenue reached 135.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 130%.

According to the agreement, both parties will continue to deepen cooperation in areas such as automobile roll-on/roll-off ship export, KD parts overseas preparation center construction, international logistics of complete vehicles and KD parts in containers, automotive supply chain and trade, and green port construction.

Specifically, efforts should be continuously strengthened to enhance the service capacity of port logistics, with further focus on areas such as port shipping routes, green logistics channels, international supply chain services, and new energy refueling. This aims to optimize the logistics cost and efficiency of the entire process of automobile exports, thereby enhancing the overall competitiveness of Chinese automobiles in overseas markets.

At the same time, fully leverage the operational, locational, and spatial advantages of Xiaomo Port Area, and enhance strategic cooperation with car manufacturers such as BYD to expand domestic and international trade routes. Support this by constructing pre-export warehouses and distribution centers for cars, aiming to build an integrated South China foreign trade automobile roll-on/roll-off hub port.

Furthermore, by leveraging the complementary advantages of the international shipping routes of Shenzhen Yantian Port and Hong Kong Kwai Tsing Port, a dense maritime logistics network covering major global automotive consumer markets will be gradually established, assisting Shenzhen in becoming a global hub for international trade in new energy vehicles.

Shenzhen Port Group stated that the next step is to continuously enhance the port's international service capabilities, provide full-chain support for automobile exports, optimize new automotive logistics channels that radiate nationwide and connect globally, and continuously increase the global automobile "Shenzhen content."
