Shanghai Port exported 2.05 million vehicles in the first three quarters of 2025, marking a 15 percent year-on-year increase and accounting for over one-third of China’s total auto exports during the period, according to Shanghai Customs.

The Waigaoqiao port area in the city’s Pudong New Area has handled over 1 million vehicle exports annually for four consecutive years.

Customs data shows that exports via the Haitong international automobile terminal — one of China’s largest auto-export terminals and the world’s largest “ro-ro” (roll-on/roll-off) facility for automotive imports and exports — surpassed 1.1 million units, which was a 14.2 percent year-on-year increase and a record high. Over 60 percent of these exports were new energy vehicles.

The terminal currently operates routes to 289 ports across 131 countries and regions, with an average of two to three ro-ro vessels shipping made-in-China vehicles to global markets daily.
