This year, although the domestic auto market is not booming, the import and export market is still booming. In the first half of 2011, the total domestic vehicle exports reached 376,100, of which 218,000 were passenger cars. Correspondingly, 199.2 thousand cars were imported and 195,800 were imported.

As the number of high-end and luxury car imports continues to rise, not only foreign manufacturers are watching the ever-increasing sales data in the Chinese market, they have a sense of fulfillment. Even Mr. Aden, chairman of the Board of Directors of BLG Group, the largest automotive logistics company in Europe, Chinese reporters said that due to the rapid development of China's business, the company has quickly emerged from the plight of the financial crisis. Based on the business data for the first seven months of this year, the completion of the year's best performance in 2008 should not be a problem.

The BLG Group has established an automobile logistics network across Europe and Asia. At present, Bremerhaven is one of the world's largest cargo transfer centers and one of the world's largest automobile terminals. Its port operator is the BLG Group. In the global automotive logistics network of BLG, in 2010, a total of 5.4 million complete vehicles were transported to the rest of the world via roads, rails and waterways. Among them, Bremerhaven’s annual throughput is 2 million vehicles and there are The 500,000 cars here have undergone technical processing by BLG. In Europe, BLG regularly serves 7,000 car dealerships with its own 530 professional transport vehicles. In addition, BLG also owns more than 1,000 special train carriages for transporting cars.

According to statistics, the number of luxury cars exported to China via Bremerhaven since 2010, such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Volkswagen, has increased dramatically. From January to July this year, 1.1 million vehicles were unloaded in Bremerhaven. Mr. Aden, Chairman of BLG Group's Board of Directors, told reporters that well-known German car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen are all using BLG's terminals and transportation networks to transport their own cars from the factory to dealers in different destination countries. Hands.

At the same time, the parts logistics of German-branded automobiles assembled in China are also undertaken by BLG. For example, in the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle factory in Fuzhou, the logistics of two commercial vehicles, VITO and VIANO, is provided by BLG. BLG packed the auto parts from the Mercedes-Benz factory and other European suppliers into containers. The containers were then shipped by sea to China to ensure the normal operation of the Mercedes-Benz final assembly line. In addition, at the Mercedes-Benz in Fuzhou, the quality inspection of parts delivered in place was also completed by BLG.

According to the BLG introduction, although China's domestic self-owned brand cars have not yet been exported to Western Europe, many of the cars exported to Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Slovenia, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic and other Eastern European countries are also delivered by BLG. In 2010, the number of all Chinese vehicles exported by BLG was 17,000. In China, automakers such as FAW, Geely and Chery have been using BLG's automobile terminals to transport domestically produced brand cars to Germany and Italy for many years. They then proceed from the large automobile terminals there and continue to use barges to be shipped to Eastern Europe. , where BLG also has offices.

In addition, BLG is planning the construction of a terminal at the Russian border, which will allow Russia to handle the loading and unloading of wide-rail cars and European cars. After the terminal is completed, cars exported by Asian countries such as China can be transported to Europe via the Trans-Siberian Railway.

The surge in domestic exports has brought business opportunities to foreign capital logistics Mr. Sun Yuanfei, executive director of Beijing Huatu Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., which has just signed a joint venture agreement with BLG, told reporters that the lack of domestic roll-on vessels in previous years has created a bottleneck for automobile exports. At present, although this situation has improved, but at present there are a total of about 30 ro-ro ships in the country, and there is still pressure on the export of large numbers of Chinese cars in the future. Domestic companies also have to rely to some extent on professional automotive logistics companies like BLG. In terms of auto processing, modification, and other professional processing capabilities, domestic logistics providers are still far from professional standards.

Although in 2010 China's total exports of 566,000 vehicles, BLG handled only 17,000 vehicles, but Mr. Aden said this also illustrates the huge potential of the market. He said that Japan has been represented by BLG as an agent of logistics services since the 1970s, while South Korea has introduced BLG services since the 1990s, and its initial export volume has also been relatively small. For example, Toyota Motor exported more than 5,000 cars to Europe in 1977, and currently exports more than 1 million cars to Europe. Judging from the presence of a number of domestic auto makers, such as Yutong and Great Wall at the signing ceremony for the joint venture between BLG and Huatu, BLG has already undergone prudent market research before entering the Chinese market.

Currently in Europe, the in-plant production logistics of many auto manufacturers is also handled by third-party logistics companies. In BLG's factory logistics business, in addition to Europe, Brazil's MAN automotive plant, India's Tata Motors, etc. are already using BLG's logistics services. Parts and components are unpacked and transported from the container to the production line. After being assembled into a complete vehicle on the production line and then shipped to various ports or dealers, these may use third-party logistics service providers.

Although BLG's development model has always been inseparable from the port, and its future development in China is also started from the core business of the port, but the logistics services for Chinese domestic auto manufacturers have been planned in the BLG. Mr. Aden made it clear that there are a number of Chinese domestic auto makers currently negotiating with BLG in order to further optimize their auto logistics management. Among them, the CKD logistics of parts and components is one of the top priorities for the moment.

“BLG sees China as a large parts supplier. Now China's business is just the beginning. There are a number of Chinese auto parts manufacturers currently negotiating with us.” Mr. Aden said, with the growth of China’s auto exports and With the increase in the supply of spare parts and maintenance services in the market, the parts and components of Chinese manufacturers will also be exported to Europe in large quantities. After shipments of spare parts containers shipped from Europe are fully loaded, they will be more profitable.

As a professional automotive logistics company, the expertise and experience brought by BLG into the Chinese market is undoubtedly lacking in the domestic market. However, the entry of BLG also marks the penetration of foreign companies into the Chinese market and has expanded from technology, products, marketing and services to the logistics field. Similarly, it is not easy for self-owned brands of vehicle and component manufacturers to go abroad if they rely entirely on domestic strength.
