Nanning (TDI): Qinzhou Port, recognized as China’s gateway to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), has reported an astounding 70-fold increase in the export of new-energy vehicle (NEV) parts over the past five years, according to data from the China Railway Nanning Group Co., Ltd.
As of October 22, the port has facilitated the shipment of 11,370 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) containers of NEV parts originating from Liuzhou, an inland city in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
This figure marks a dramatic rise from just 160 TEU containers exported annually in 2019.
The surge in exports is largely attributed to locally-based SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW), a joint venture among SAIC Motor, General Motors, and Liuzhou Wuling Motors.

Initially serving Southeast Asian countries, SGMW’s reach has now expanded to over 40 countries and regions, including markets in Central and South America as well as the Middle East.
To enhance logistical support for local NEV enterprises, railway authorities introduced new rail-sea intermodal train services in July.
These services, operating regularly on Mondays and Thursdays, have successfully reduced transportation time by over five hours.
