[The China Europe Electric Vehicle Industry Chain Enterprise Symposium was held in Brussels]On September 18th, the China Europe Electric Vehicle Industry Chain Enterprise Symposium was held in Brussels, chaired by Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao. Nearly 30 companies and industry associations related to China and Europe attended the conference. Wang Wentao emphasized that cooperation is crucial for the development of the China Europe automotive industry, and the results of the cooperation between the two sides are significant. China provides an open market and a fair competitive environment. In the face of the EU's anti subsidy investigation, China will strive to negotiate until the last moment, questioning its rationality, compliance, and fairness, believing that this move will hinder cooperation, affect investment confidence, and undermine global climate cooperation and multilateral trade order. He called for open cooperation, opposed "decoupling and disconnection", and safeguarded the rights and interests of enterprises. The attending representatives acknowledged the vast space for cooperation, supported free trade and fair competition, and called for resolving disputes through dialogue to create a fair cooperation environment.

On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.
