The Shanghai Haitong International Automobile Terminal, located in Waigaoqiao, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, is one of the largest automobile export terminals in China, where we can have a clear glimpse of the three new "key words" of Chinese automobile "going out".
More quantity: China becomes the world's leading car exporter

Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, said that since 2021, the advantages of the strong resilience of China's automobile industry chain have been fully reflected, and China's automobile export market has shown "super growth" in the past two years.

Stronger quality: The European market has become a new "flashpoint" for Chinese cars to go overseas
Europe is the birthplace of the automobile industry, but also for the global automobile giants, and here is becoming a "new eruption point" for Chinese cars to go to the sea.
Cui Dongshu said that statistics show that Chinese cars have achieved strong growth in the European market for two consecutive years, and have performed well in Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Norway.
"Three or four years ago, only about 10 percent of the cars departing from Haitong Wharf were exported to Europe, but now the exports to the European market account for more than 30 percent. From the first 11 months of this year, the European market was the most obvious driver."In the first 11 months of this year, Europe accounted for about 34 percent, South America about 18 percent and the Middle East about 13 percent, Xi said, 14 percent.
