The Ningbo new energy prototype vehicle was sent to sea in less than half an hour from declaration to document release

Recently, a batch of new energy prototype vehicles from Geely Automobile Research Institute (Ningbo) Co., Ltd. were successfully air freighted out of Ningbo Airport and transported overseas for performance testing and technical benchmarking.
This batch of vehicles belongs to the research and development test sample vehicles, and the delivery time directly affects the pace of overseas technology iteration and new product promotion of the enterprise. In Ningbo, it takes less than half an hour for vehicles to go from declaration to document release.
With the continuous growth of overseas research and development, technology benchmarking, and vehicle testing demand for domestically produced new energy vehicles, air freight has become an important channel for exporting enterprise prototype vehicles due to its advantages of fast delivery and short turnover period.
Data shows that in the first eight months of this year, more than 100 new energy prototype vehicles were declared for export at Ningbo Airport Customs, a year-on-year increase of 8.5 times. The export destinations cover Europe, North America and other places, and the transportation time to Europe is only about 17 hours.
However, the export of new energy vehicles by air transportation has the characteristics of high value of goods, strict delivery time limits, and high requirements for air shipping standards, which puts higher demands on port clearance services.
In response to the pain points of airport vehicle exports, Ningbo Airport Customs has tailored a customs clearance guarantee plan, opened a "green channel" for the export of new energy vehicles, and provided guidance on declaration standards and air shipment supervision requirements in advance to maximize customs clearance efficiency and reduce enterprise time and logistics costs.
The fierce competition in overseas markets and efficient customs clearance services have solved our urgent needs and further enhanced our confidence in exploring high-end overseas markets, "said the person in charge of Geely Automobile.
