Henan's auto export has achieved a promising beginning. Since January, foreign trade enterprises in Henan have been sparing no efforts to expand their overseas market presence for additional orders. According to data from Zhengzhou Customs, in the first two months of this year, 5.5 billion yuan worth of Henan-made vehicles were exported, a year-on-year increase of more than 60 percent, including 1.8 billion yuan worth of new energy vehicles, a year-on-year increase of nearly 300 percent.

今年以来，全省外贸企业以时不我待的精神谋发展、拼经济，奋力拓市场、抓订单。据郑州海关统计，今年前两个月，河南出口汽车货值55亿元，同比增长超六成。其中，新能源汽车出口货值近18亿元，同比增长近3倍。河南汽车扬帆出海取得开门红。

In recent years, Henan has placed significant emphasis on advancing its auto industry. Notably, the new energy vehicle has been incorporated into the province's 7 "1-trillion-yuan" advanced manufacturing clusters and 28 key industrial chains designated for development. Progress has been evident with the commencement of operations at the Zhengzhou BYD plant last year, the new vehicles rolled off the production line at SAIC Zhengzhou plant (phase II), and the swift construction of new energy battery production base of Zhongzhou Era. The rapid growth of the automobile sector has positioned it as a key driver of the province's high-quality foreign trade development.

近年来，河南聚力发展汽车产业，将新能源汽车纳入重点培育的7个万亿级先进制造业集群、28个重点产业链倾力打造。去年以来，郑州比亚迪基地顺利投产，上汽郑州乘用车二期新车下线，中州时代新能源生产基地项目加快推进，全省汽车产业规模快速壮大，推动支撑汽车出口成为河南外贸高质量发展的新亮点。

Recent data indicates a significant surge in Henan's auto exports since 2022. In that year, the export value reached 12.51 billion yuan, a remarkable year-on-year increase of 128.5 percent, while in 2023, the figure climbed to 25.83 billion yuan, marking a notable year-on-year increase of 106.6 percent.

据统计，自2022年以来，河南汽车出口呈现出快速增长态势。其中2022年出口货值125.1亿元，同比增长128.5%；2023年，出口货值258.3亿元，同比增长106.6%。

"We secured a substantial overseas bus order at the close of last year, with plans to deliver 300 buses to our customers throughout this year. In this January, we received a record-breaking order from overseas for 214 new energy buses, a milestone in the Latin American market in terms of quantity. Our export volume is expected to reach a new height this year." Xie Wenli, director of the Foreign Trade Department of Yutong Group, highlighted that in the first two months, Yutong's export value increased by over 210 percent year-on-year, with the export of new energy vehicles in particular surging by over 600 percent year-on-year.

“去年年底我们拿下了一个海外大型公交车项目，今年预计可交付公交车300辆。今年开年我们又斩获了214辆新能源客车订单，刷新了我们在拉美市场单笔新能源客车订单纪录。2024年我们的出口量必将再攀新高峰。”宇通客车外贸部主管谢文莉信心十足地介绍，今年前两个月，宇通客车出口货值已同比增长超210%，其中新能源汽车出口增长尤为亮眼，同比增长超6倍。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/孙静 编译/杨佳欣 实习生/李艳 李凯 审校/丁岚）
