BYD Shenzhen, the fourth car carrier operated by BYD, measures 219.9 meters in length and 37.7 meters in width, with 16 decks capable of carrying up to 9,200 vehicles, making it the most capacious one among roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) shipscurrently in operation globally. This liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel-poweredcar carrier is green, intelligent and efficient. In the first quarter of 2025, these ships transported over 25,000 NEVs overseas.

"The BYD Shenzhen is not just a ship, but also a maritime bridge connecting Chinese intelligent manufacturing with global markets. It will carry BYD's NEVs to enable global users to enjoy the benefits of China's technological advancements," said Wang Junbao, general manager of BYD's public business division, at the delivery ceremony.

At the same time, Shenzhen is accelerating the development of a multimodal transportnetwork integrating sea, land, air, and rail. Shenzhen Portis now the world's fourth-largest container port, with 7.88 million TEUs throughput in foreign trade in the first quarter of this year, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%. The "Bay Area Express," part of the China-European freight train, has operated over 4,000 trains, reaching 227 cities in 25 European countries and over 100 cities in 11 Asian countries, with 53 categories of goods including vehicles, machinery and electronics. Shenzhen Baoan International Airport currently operates cargo routes to 44 cities in 25 countries, making it a key aviation hub in the GBA. In the first two months of this year, the airport handled 148,000 tons of import and export cargo, a year-on-year increase of 22.9%, setting a record high for the period.

Through the establishment of an integrated multimodal logistics system, Shenzhen is efficiently connected to the world. In many cities globally, more and more overseas consumers place orders for "Shenzhen-made" products via e-commerce platforms. One netizen shared, "I ordered Chinese products in Japan and received them in just a day and a half, even faster than the local express delivery!" In March 2025, Shenzhen's total import and export volume reached 387.05 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.3%, outpacing the national growth rate by 6.3 percentage points. Of that, exports reached 218.53 billion yuan, up 8.8%, and imports stood at 168.52 billion yuan, up 17.2%.
