SHENZHEN, June 22 (Xinhua) — Leading Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD announced Saturday the official handover of its fifth BYD “Xi’an” ro-ro in Yizheng City, east China’s Jiangsu Province, marking a major advancement in the development of the company’s global sales and supply chain system.
The 219.9-metre-long, 37.7-metre-wide BYD ro-ro Xi’an has 16 car decks, a top speed of 19 knots and can accommodate 9,200 cars, according to BYD, based in Shenzhen, southern China’s Guangdong Province.
The vessel uses advanced dual-fuel propulsion technology using liquefied natural gas (LNG), which significantly improves the vessel’s energy efficiency and reduces harmful emissions.
BYD has previously launched four ro-ro carriers transporting Chinese new energy vehicles to global markets.
The use of these ro-ro vehicles has significantly improved the efficiency of the company’s overseas deliveries, reduced logistics costs and transport cycles, and accelerated the implementation of BYD’s global expansion strategy, the company said in a statement. -0-
