The Chinese carmaker’s partner Anji Logistics has ordered two pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) to support increased demand from overseas markets for SAIC’s vehicles.
SAIC reported exporting 697,000 vehicles overseas in 2021, an increase of 79%. Of that total number, 60,000 were what China labels new energy vehicles (NEVs), including pure battery electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids. The majority of vehicles are sold in south-east Asia and India.
The Chinese carmaker sold around 70,000 vehicles in Europe, led by the subsidiary brands MG and Maxus. It said it expects to increase that annual total to 120,000 by the end of this year.
