China’s leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer BYD has officially launched the world’s largest car carrier ship, “BYD Shenzhen.”
The 219.9 meter long and 37.7 meter wide vessel was delivered on April 22 during a naming ceremony held in Yizheng, located in China’s Jiangsu Province.
The massive roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) ship features 16 decks and can carry up to 9,200 vehicles at once-surpassing the 9,100 car capacity of the Höegh Aurora class vessels operated by Norway’s Höegh Autoliners.
This ship is BYD’s fourth car carrier and the most advanced one so far, joining the fleet that includes the BYD Explorer No. 1, BYD Changzhou, and BYD Hefei- each with a capacity of 7,000 vehicles.
Another ship, the BYD Changsha, was launched in March 2025 and also holds 9,200 vehicles.
All these ships form part of BYD’s goal to create a “maritime bridge” connecting Chinese EV manufacturing with the global market.
