CNBC AI News – July 5th. A significant development in global logistics is unfolding as a new maritime route officially opens, promising to streamline the export of Chinese automobiles to South America. A vessel carrying nearly 1,500 domestic vehicles has departed from Tianjin Port, bound for Peru’s Chancay Port along the west coast of South America.
This inaugural voyage marks the formal launch of the “Tianjin Port – Chancay Port” international roll-on/roll-off shipping line, establishing a vital new artery for automakers in China’s Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (Jing-Jin-Ji) region to reach overseas markets.
Chancay Port, emerging as a key hub on South America’s western seaboard, is strategically positioned to serve as a gateway for trade between China and Latin America. Its geographical advantage allows it to effectively reach economic zones such as southeastern Brazil and northern Argentina, positioning it as a crucial link in burgeoning transcontinental commerce.
As a leading international shipping hub in northern China, Tianjin Port plays a critical role in facilitating trade, with nearly half of its imported and exported vehicles originating from manufacturers within the Jing-Jin-Ji economic powerhouse. The port has been actively expanding its network with new sea routes.
Officials highlighted that the establishment of this new Tianjin-Chancay route is expected to draw a greater number of Jing-Jin-Ji-based automakers to export through Tianjin Port. This strategic move is anticipated to foster the concentrated development of the regional automotive industry, ensuring that domestically produced vehicles can reach South American markets with enhanced efficiency and speed.
The significance of this expansion is underscored by recent data from China State Railway Group, indicating robust growth in China’s auto exports. From January to May 2025, China’s auto exports reached 2.83 million units, representing a substantial 16% year-on-year increase compared to the same period in 2024.
Market trends show that key export destinations for Chinese automobiles in the first five months of the year included Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Brazil, Belgium, Australia, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, and Turkey, demonstrating the growing global reach of China’s automotive sector.
