Shanghai H1 auto exports set records

Shanghai’s auto export volume and value set records in the first half of 2021, ranking the city top among all provinces, regions and cities, Shanghai Customs said yesterday.

The city accounted for more than a fifth of China’s auto exports.

A total of 206,000 vehicles were exported from Shanghai, a year-on-year increase of 165.9 percent. Total value was 20.64 billion yuan (US$ 3.19 billion), up 191.5 percent year on year.

New-energy vehicle exports continued to increase. A total of 60,000 electric passenger vehicles were exported, up 752.9 percent.

The proportion of NEV exports increased from 2020’s 14 percent to 29.3 percent.

A total of 63,000 cars were exported to the European Union, Australia and the United States — 30.5 percent of the total.

To meet the rapid growth, Shanghai Customs set up a special supervision site at the Haitong Wharf at the Waigaoqiao Port providing 24x7 clearance.

“Since last year, the inspection workload of exported vehicles has risen sharply. We have opened a green channel for export vehicles that were chosen for inspection,” said Chen Jia, an official with Shanghai Waigaoqiao Customs.
