EV slowdown: Chinese electric cars pile up at Europe’s ports

Imported vehicles are piling up at European ports, turning them into “car parks” as automakers and distributors struggle with a slowdown in sales and logistical bottlenecks including the lack of truck drivers.

One car logistics expert said many of the unloaded vehicles were simply staying in the ports until they were sold to distributors or end users.Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the China Passenger Car Association, said “inland shipping in European markets is difficult” . BLG Logistics, the company that operates the car-handling terminal at the German port of Bremerhaven, Europe’s second-busiest port for vehicles, said it had experienced longer dwell times at its facilities after Germany’s federal government stopped subsidising purchases of EVs in December last year.

As newcomers to the market, they have struggled to find haulage companies to prioritise their orders.
