Wedoany.com Report-Sept. 9, Shenzhen Port Group announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with BYD Company Limited, expanding their collaboration in vehicle exports and logistics. The partnership builds on recent progress made by both sides in supporting the international development of Chinese automobiles.

From 2024 through July 2025, Shenzhen Port Group processed 220,000 vehicles at its terminals. Xiaomo International Logistics Port, which has grown into a key roll-on/roll-off hub, has launched 13 domestic and international routes since its opening, handling nearly 100,000 vehicles. This progress reflects Shenzhen Port Group’s growing role in supporting large-scale car shipments.

BYD has also reported strong international business growth. In the first half of 2025, the company generated 135.4 billion yuan in revenue from overseas operations, more than doubling compared with the same period last year. The new agreement with Shenzhen Port Group is expected to further support this momentum by strengthening logistics capacity and service networks.

According to the plan, the two parties will deepen cooperation in several areas, including vehicle roll-on/roll-off shipping, the establishment of CKD (completely knocked down) export preparation centers, container logistics for complete vehicles and CKD kits, automotive trade and supply chain services, and the development of greener port operations. These initiatives are designed to optimize costs, improve efficiency, and enhance the global competitiveness of Chinese vehicles.

Xiaomo Port will be a core component of this strategy. Leveraging its operational scale, advantageous location, and service capacity, the port aims to expand both domestic and international routes. Plans also include the construction of bonded warehouses and distribution centers to better support auto exports. The objective is to establish Xiaomo as South China’s leading hub for integrated auto roll-on/roll-off trade.

The agreement also calls for closer integration between Shenzhen’s Yantian Port and Hong Kong’s Kwai Tsing Terminals. By connecting their complementary shipping networks, the two ports intend to form a more extensive global logistics grid that links directly with major automotive markets worldwide. This will strengthen Shenzhen’s role as a leading international trade center for new energy vehicles and reinforce its position within the global supply chain.

Through this cooperation, Shenzhen Port Group and BYD aim to establish a more efficient, sustainable, and internationally connected logistics framework. The collaboration highlights the growing importance of port operations in supporting automotive exports and underlines the role of South China as a strategic hub for the international expansion of new energy vehicles.
