With More Than 7 Thousand Vehicles on Board, BYD Shenzhen Cargo Ship Leaves China for Brazil Marking Global Expansion of the Automaker and Reinforcing Presence in the Brazilian Market.

The Chinese automaker BYD took another step to strengthen its global operation. On Sunday (27), the company announced the departure of the BYD Shenzhen, the world’s largest electric vehicle carrier, on its maiden voyage to Brazil. The cargo ship left the Port of Taicang, in Jiangsu Province, China, carrying more than 7 thousand vehicles from the brand.

According to information from BYD itself, the ship is expected to arrive at the Port of Itajaí, in Santa Catarina, after just over 30 days of navigation. The transport is part of the company’s expansion strategy, which has been increasing its presence in the Brazilian electric vehicle market.

Chinese Electric Vehicle Exports Continue to Grow

The operation of the BYD Shenzhen occurs at a time when vehicle exports from China are reaching record levels. According to data from the General Administration of Customs of the country, more than 6.4 million cars were exported in 2024, keeping China in the global lead for the second consecutive year.

To meet this demand, automakers such as BYD, Chery, and SAIC Motor are investing in creating their own maritime transport fleets. In the case of BYD, only in the first quarter of 2025, its vehicle carriers transported more than 25 thousand electric cars to international markets.

The automaker’s own figures show that its electric vehicles are now present in over 400 cities in more than 100 countries and regions. Brazil stands out as one of the main markets, with sales reaching 76,700 units in 2024 — a 328% increase compared to the previous year.

BYD Shenzhen Ship Expected to Boost Sales in Brazil

The launch of the BYD Shenzhen is seen as strategic for the continued growth of the brand in Brazil. With the new vessel, the expectation is to reduce delivery times, improve the distribution of electric cars, and lower transportation costs.

According to logistics sector experts, having a dedicated fleet of ships provides advantages such as greater operational control, stability in the export process, and increased agility in serving foreign markets.
