China's BYD stuns the world with the LARGEST car transport SHIP ever built: Monstrous 9.200-vehicle capacity revolutionizes the global auto market
BYD Shenzhen is a giant of the seas, capable of transporting 9.200 cars around the world. It combines impressive size with sustainable technology to take BYD even further.

At 219 meters long, powered by LNG dual-fuel technology and with the capacity to carry 9.200 vehicles, BYD Shenzhen cements BYD China as a global leader in the automotive industry and accelerates the expansion of electric vehicles to more than 100 countries.

How does an automotive giant transport thousands of cars halfway around the world? China’s BYD, a global leader in electric vehicles (EVs), has unveiled BYD Shenzhen, the world’s largest vehicle transporter. With a capacity of 9.200 vehicles, this “whale of the sea” is a milestone in the company’s aggressive global expansion strategy.

The giant of the seas: BYD Shenzhen

At an impressive 219 meters long and 37,7 meters wide, the BYD Shenzhen is a colossus of the oceans. Cruising at speeds of up to 18,5 knots, it is designed to meet the growing global demand for electric vehicles, sailing directly from the port of Yangzhou in China.

It’s not just about size. This vessel incorporates cutting-edge sustainability technologies, including a dual-fuel system (LNG and traditional marine fuel) and energy-saving devices. BYD Box stationary batteries allow it to operate efficiently even in low-emission zones. A combination of brute force and environmental awareness.

A year of achievements: BYD’s fourth Ro-Ro vessel

BYD Shenzhen is the world's largest car transport ship, carrying up to 9.200 vehicles at a time. It was created to help BYD sell more electric cars in various countries with modern and sustainable technology.

BYD Shenzhen is the company’s fourth vehicle transport launch in less than a year. It follows in the footsteps of its siblings BYD Explorer No. 1, BYD Changzhou and BYD Hefei, which have already crossed the seas carrying up to 7.000 cars each. This fleet is not only a show of strength, but a symbol of BYD’s global ambition.

,With trips to Europe, Brazil and now heading to South Korea and Thailand, BYD proves that there are no limits to the range of its electric vehicles. With each vessel that sets sail, the company reaffirms its position as leader in the global transition to clean energy.

BYD China's Global Strategy

Last year, BYD surpassed Tesla, producing 1,77 million vehicles compared to its competitor’s 1,76 million. This victory symbolizes more than just numbers: is a reflection of the advancement of technology Chinese and BYD's market strength.

Having conquered Japan, the company is now taking on local giants in South Korea, offering vehicles starting at $20.000, challenging Hyundai and Kia in their own domains. Meanwhile, in Thailand, Japanese automakers’ share has fallen from 90% to 76%, thanks to BYD’s aggressive expansion.

BYD's impacts on the global electric vehicle market

By uniting cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, BYD is not just delivering products. It is redefining what it means to be a global leader in clean mobility.

BYD is not just a brand; it is a movement. Its actions are shaping the future mobility, with impacts that go far beyond the automotive market, influencing policies, economies and the environment.
