🚢 China just upped its green transport game by delivering the world’s largest ocean-going car carrier vessel! The massive ship, packed with 7,000 new energy vehicles (NEVs), left Shanghai on Thursday headed for Europe. Talk about a Tesla-on-water moment! ⚡
Why This Matters
Built by SAIC Anji Logistics (a subsidiary of automotive giant SAIC Motor), this carrier can hold up to 9,500 vehicles and zip across oceans at 19 knots. ‘We’re launching seven more mega-carriers soon,’ said SAIC’s Zhuang Jingxiong. 🌐 Routes will connect to over 100 global destinations, from Europe to emerging markets.
China’s EV Ambition Goes Global
With brands like BYD and Chery expanding rapidly overseas, China’s automakers need their own shipping muscle to avoid bottlenecks. This move secures their spot as leaders in the NEV race—and keeps the world stocked with electric wheels. 🚗💨
What’s next? More ships, greener tech, and a clear signal: China’s driving the future of global auto trade. 🌏🔋
