Episode #1: Chinese EVs and cars in containers
For the debut instalment in our latest podcast series, we dive into one of the sector’s most recent changes, the emergent “cars in containers” market.
With more consumers in Europe and North America demanding Chinese EVs, the pressure to deliver them is booming at an exponential rate. To keep up, more manufacturers are shifting to container shipping to deliver their EVs, leaving traditional RORO vessels in their wake.
But what’s driving the change? Container ships generally have faster transit times than traditional RORO vessels, promoting both efficiency and flexibility. Staggered delivery helps manufactures operate at optimum inventory whilst reducing associated costs. There’s also the matter of security—containers are less prone to theft and keep cars safe from the elements.
To bring you up to speed, Achim Glass, our Head of Global Business Development Automotive, shares his expertise and spells out how you can take full advantage of this novel topic.
