CCTV News: In the first four months of 2025, China's automobile production and sales exceeded 10 million for the first time, of which more than 640,000 new energy vehicles were exported. The "Yuanhaikou" ship joins the "national team" of China's automobile transport ships, which will add new momentum to Chinese automobiles sailing to sea. The use of hybrid power saves 20% energy consumption per year

The "Yuanhaikou" ship is currently the largest photovoltaic energy + LNG dual-fuel vehicle transport ship in the country. It uses the hybrid power of "liquefied natural gas + traditional fuel" and can save about 20% energy consumption per year. Loading 7000 parking spaces saves one-third of the flight

The "Yuanhaikou" ship's maiden voyage will carry out the "China-Mediterranean" liner route, with destinations such as Greece, Turkey, and Italy along the "Belt and Road". The one-way flight is about 30 days, saving nearly one-third of the time compared to the past, and the loading capacity reaches 7,000 standard parking spaces. In 2024, 1.284 million new energy vehicles were exported

New energy vehicles are one of the "new three" things" in China's foreign trade. In 2024, China exported 1.284 million new energy vehicles. With the delivery of the "Fuanhaikou", the scale of COSCO Shipping Automobile fleet has expanded to 20 ships and will also expand to 30 ships in 2026, injecting strong momentum into China's automobiles sailing to sea. China's automobile "going to sea" has added another "weapon"

Liu Yunwu, Secretary of the Party Committee of China COSCO Shipping Guangzhou Yuanhai Automobile Shipping Company, introduced that at present, my country's new energy vehicle exports are in full swing, and the addition of the "Yuanhaikou" ship has further expanded the team of my country's "national team" of automobile transport ships. It has a series of green, intelligent and automated technologies that meet the latest standards and specifications, not only better serves China's automobiles to set sail and "go to sea", but also provides a "Chinese solution" for global automobile shipping.

Data shows that in the first four months of 2025, China's automobile production and sales both exceeded 10 million vehicles for the first time in history, with a year-on-year increase of more than 10%. New energy vehicles continued to maintain rapid growth. In the first four months, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 4.429 million and 4.3 million respectively, an increase of 48.3% and 46.2% year-on-year respectively, and the sales of new energy vehicles reached 42.7% of the total sales of new automobiles. In the first four months, 642,000 new energy vehicles were exported, an increase of 52.6% year-on-year. New energy has performed well, and the dual performance of technology and policies has driven

China's automobile industry has achieved "double tens of millions", and the outstanding performance of new energy vehicles is mainly due to the two driving forces of technology and policy. In terms of technology, in terms of intelligent driving, in 2024, the penetration rate of Chinese passenger cars L2, that is, new cars with combined driving assistance functions reached 57.3%, and assisted driving gradually covered models of 100,000 yuan or less.

Since 2025, major domestic automakers have accelerated their embrace of intelligence, and charging speed has entered the "minute era", 800-volt high-voltage silicon carbide platform and other platforms are becoming increasingly popular.

The "two new" policies also play a key role in driving consumption in the domestic automobile market. In 2024 alone, more than 6.5 million cars were scrapped and replaced nationwide. In 2025, the "old-for-new" policy of automobiles will be expanded more effectively, and it is expected that the "two new" policies will bring greater growth to automobile consumption.
