Overview
- The BYD Changzhou is scheduled to dock next week at Terminal de Zárate to unload a large batch of electrified vehicles.
- It will be the first time BYD uses one of its own vessels to operate directly in Argentina.
- The ship can carry about 7,000 vehicles and uses a roll-on/roll-off system to speed unloading.
- A significant portion of the shipment is expected to qualify for Argentina’s 35% import-tariff exemption for electrified vehicles, bolstering price competitiveness.
- BYD entered the market in October 2025 and now leads EV sales, while advancing a plant in Camaçari, Brazil to supply South America.
