Multimodal Transport Acceleration, New Energy Exports Surge, and Cross-Border Logistics Innovation

 

 

 

 

1. Policy Updates: Multimodal Transport and Highway Discounts Drive Cost Reduction

 

 

  • Ports like Ningbo-Zhoushan and Guangzhou Nansha are accelerating the implementation of container multimodal transport terminal sharing models, significantly improving loading/unloading efficiency by over 32% and continuously reducing logistics costs.

 

  • Provinces such as Liaoning and Anhui offer 50%-15% discounts on highway tolls for ETC-enabled trucks, with cumulative savings exceeding 500 million RMB, providing tangible cost reductions for cross-border transportation enterprises.

 

 

Recommendations for Foreign Clients:

 

  • Logistics companies should prioritize ETC-enabled routes to enjoy toll discounts while evaluating multimodal transport routes (e.g., sea-rail intermodal) to optimize domestic Chinese transportation costs.

 

  • Collaborate with local partners to share terminal resources and further shorten transit times.

2. Industry Standards: Green Packaging and New Energy Delivery Upgrades

 

  • China has mandated a complete ban on non-degradable plastic packaging by the end of 2025, targeting a secondary packaging rate of ≤2% for e-commerce shipments and a 94% recyclable express box coverage rate.

 

  • The proportion of new energy delivery vehicles is increasing, accompanied by the implementation of detailed rules for delivery personnel’s rights and interests, driving industry compliance.

 

 

Recommendations for Foreign Clients

 

  • Export e-commerce enterprises must proactively switch to degradable packaging materials to avoid customs clearance delays due to non-compliance.

 

  • When selecting logistics providers, prioritize those with a high proportion of new energy fleets to reduce carbon footprints and align with international environmental trends.

3. Industry Highlights: Smart Warehousing and Surging New Energy Exports

 

  • ZTO Express has invested 2.32 billion RMB in smart warehousing, promoting the integration of multimodal transport and low-altitude logistics in the Yangtze River Delta.

 

  • New energy vehicle exports grew 52.6% year-on-year in the first four months, with BYD exporting nearly 80,000 units monthly, primarily to European and Southeast Asian markets.

 

  • Cross-border e-commerce forums are focusing on supply chain innovations for industries like photovoltaic, home appliances, and tires, with platforms such as Amazon and AliExpress strengthening cross-border logistics partnerships.

 

 

Recommendations for Foreign Clients:

 

  • Importers in Europe and Southeast Asia should secure China’s new energy vehicle production capacity by signing long-term supply agreements in advance.

 

  • Cross-border sellers should monitor the smart warehousing deployments (e.g., ZTO) to optimize inventory turnover efficiency.

4. Risk Warnings: Tariffs and Port Disruptions Require Contingency Plans

 

  • The U.S. plans to impose tariffs on Chinese cranes (potentially causing $6.7 billion in costs), while India and the U.S. may sign a trade agreement in July, potentially impacting manufacturing supply chains.

 

  • Houthi forces have announced a blockade of Israel’s Haifa Port, necessitating adjustments to Red Sea shipping routes.

 

 

Recommendations for Foreign Clients:

 

  • Exporters of high-value goods to the U.S. (e.g., machinery, home appliances) must assess tariff impacts and consider transshipment via Southeast Asia to avoid taxes.

 

  • Enterprises involved in Israel-bound routes should urgently switch to alternative hubs such as Greece’s Port of Piraeus.
