Driven by global carbon neutrality commitments, China’s new energy vehicle exports are experiencing exponential growth. However, complex international logistics environments, stringent dangerous goods compliance requirements, and limited vessel capacity pose significant challenges for automakers and traders.
A leading NEV manufacturer (Geely Group's ZEEKR & Lynk & Co brands) requiring urgent vehicle exports to Europe:
1× ZEEKR BEV Sedan (UN3171, Class 9 DG)
1× Lynk & Co PHEV SUV (UN3166, Class 9 DG)
1.Missing Documentation: The client lacks all required shipping documents (SDS, UN38.3 test report, export permits, etc.).
2.Tight Timeline: All formalities need to be completed and shipped within two weeks
3.Cost Control: The client aims to reduce logistics costs by 30%.
4. Compliance Risks: NEV with lithium batteries are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods. International sea transportation has strict requirements. A slight mistake may result in the goods being detained or returned.
1.Starting from Scratch:Rapidly drafted Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and cargo inspection certificates, Verified 100% IMDG Code compliance under tight deadlines.
2.Limited Vessel Space: Secure reliable shipping schedules for large volumes of electric vehicles, Avoid risks of cargo being bumped (short-shipped)
3.Loading Safety: Prevent collision and short-circuit risks during sea transport of vehicles with high-voltage batteries
4.Cost Optimization: Reduce transportation costs while maintaining safety standards
To address the urgent requirements, we activated a dedicated task force delivering an integrated "Documentation + Transportation + Loading + Compliance" solution, ensuring safe, timely, and cost-optimized vehicle shipments.
SDS (Vehicle Safety Data Sheet): Coordinated with CNAS-accredited labs to expedite battery UN38.3 test summaries.
Maritime Cargo Appraisal Report: Verified compliance with UN3171 (BEV) and UN3166 (PHEV) classifications.
Export License Processing: Secured vehicle clearance certificates through DMV coordination.
MBS Optimization:
Solution A: Multi-Vehicle Consolidation (4 vehicles/container, 40% savings)
→ For homogeneous model batches
Solution B: Hybrid Model Loading (2 vehicles/container, 25-30% savings)
→ Adopted for mixed vehicle types
-Professional Securement: Use anti-static straps + chocks + edge protectors to prevent cargo shifting during transit.
-Full Documentation: Photograph/video record loading process, seal containers only after client approval.
-Customs Compliance: Submit stowage certificates in advance to prevent customs inspection delays.
-Compare multiple carriers to select routes with departure within 14 days, avoiding rollover risks.
-Pre-book hazardous cargo slots to guarantee smooth port entry.
-Comprehensive Insurance:All Risks marine insurance coverage.
-Dispute Prevention Protocol:Mandatory pre-arrival unloading video evidence submission.
-Real-time Monitoring:Dedicated Vessel Tracking Specialists ensure ETD/ETA Compliance.
-Timeline Achievement: Completed documentation-to-loading in 12 days (vs. 14-day target).
-Cost Optimization: Achieved 35% freight reduction (exceeding client expectations).
-100% Safety: Vehicles arrived at destination port intact with full regulatory compliance.
-Long-term Partnership: Client entrusted all future Europe NEV shipments to MBS.
"We initially thought incomplete documentation and tight timelines would make shipment impossible. Yet MBS not only expedited all procedures but also reduced costs. Our NEV exports are now permanently entrusted to your team!"
This case validates that even amidst documentation gaps, time constraints, and cost challenges, selecting MBS enables secure, efficient, and budget-optimized transportation execution.
