Reference News Network, November 20 report: According to the website of Brazil's "Fórum" magazine on November 17, data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers shows that from January to October 2025, China's auto exports reached 5.616 million units, an increase of 15.7% year-on-year. In October, China's auto exports increased by 22.9% year-on-year.
From January to October this year, China's exports of new energy vehicles reached 2.014 million units, an increase of 90.4% year-on-year. In October, exports of new energy vehicles increased by 99.9% year-on-year.
While Beijing faces trade barriers from the United States and the European Union, China's auto exports have shown strong growth. Last year, the European Union decided to impose additional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to protect its automotive manufacturers, which were being impacted by Chinese brands such as BYD and Great Wall Motors.
At the same time, demand for Chinese cars in Global South countries continues to grow. The operation of the Chancay Port in Peru has significantly shortened trans-Pacific shipping times. Gonzalo Ríos, vice president of COSCO Shipping Ports Chancay Peru, said that each ship brings 800 to 1,200 cars. The company expects that by the end of this year, the total number of cars transported from China will reach 19,000 units.
The report stated that in Peru, from January to September this year, sales of hybrid and pure electric vehicles reached a record 7,256 units, an increase of 44% year-on-year. Chinese brands such as BYD, Chery, and Geely have dozens of dealers in the country. BYD's all-electric models are priced lower than Tesla's similar products.
At the same time, factories of Great Wall Motors and BYD in Brazil will become strategic hubs to drive the development of the entire South American automotive industry. These factories use Chinese patent technologies. A similar trend is also taking place in Africa: BAIC and Chery announced plans to expand their factory sizes on the African continent.
In Burkina Faso, an electric vehicle manufacturing company located in Ouagadougou assembles electric vehicles from China and sells them locally.
An American consulting firm said that Trump's tariff policies will have a significant impact on the U.S. domestic car market. In 2025, car sales in the United States and Canada are expected to decrease by about 1.8 million units. (Translated by Tian Ce)
