The Western Land-Sea New Corridor Helps Foreign Trade Three New Items Go To Asean And Europe
In the first quarter of 2023, China's foreign trade "new three" electric passenger vehicles, lithium batteries, and solar cells performed well. In the first quarter, the total export increased by 66.9%, and the year-on-year increase exceeded 100 billion yuan.

Among them, the export volume of photovoltaic products reached 5,600 TEUs, a year-on-year increase of 146.1%, and the export volume of offshore wind power equipment reached 15,000 cubic meters, which is a pure increase.” Wei Shengjun, deputy general manager of the operation department of Guangxi Beigang Logistics Co., Ltd. introduced.
Wei Shengjun predicts that throughout this year, the export volume of new energy vehicles and accessories is expected to reach more than 10,000 TEUs; the export volume of photovoltaic products is expected to reach more than 20,000 TEUs; the export volume of offshore wind power equipment is expected to reach more than 500,000 cubic meters, which is a pure increase .

"For special sources of goods such as new energy vehicles and white sugar, Beibu Gulf Port Group provides services such as 'one price' and 'one box to the end'. The sea-rail combined transportation of new energy vehicles into the box shortens the time limit by 10-20 days compared with traditional water transportation. The comprehensive cost of the whole process can be saved by about 15%, and the cargo damage rate is also greatly reduced due to the one-box-to-bottom method,” Wei Shengjun said.
