Beijing, July 7 /Xinhua/ — According to customs statistics, from January to May 2026, the export of electric vehicles from China through the Alashankou border crossing point /Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest China/ increased in value by 164.5 percent to 2 billion yuan /about 294 million USD/, accounting for 31.2 percent of the total volume of vehicle exports through this border crossing during the specified period, according to a report published on the Alashankou city government website.
Being one of the main checkpoints through which China-Europe trains pass, Alashankou has become a key hub for the entry of Chinese vehicles with new energy sources /NES/ into the Asian and European markets, relying on its stable transport capacities and developed logistics system.
Currently, demand for environmentally friendly vehicles in the Asian and European markets is steadily growing, while the competitiveness of Chinese-made NEV cars in foreign markets is consistently increasing thanks to advantages such as advanced technologies, optimal price-quality ratio, and enhanced vehicle equipment.
Currently, the cars exported from China are mainly represented by brands such as Geely, BYD, Changan, and others, with the share of vehicles delivered abroad by rail transport exceeding 90 percent.
Against the backdrop of expanding market demand, there has been a significant increase in car exports to the NIE through the Alashankou checkpoint since the beginning of this year.
It is reported that currently at the Alashankou checkpoint, the efficiency of customs clearance for fully assembled cars for export is continuously increasing. Previously, the time for customs inspection of an entire batch of such cargo was relatively long, but now, thanks to the effective organization of the entire process of declaration, inspection, and release of export vehicles, the transportation times have been significantly reduced, which has increased the level of recognition from foreign clients.
