Exports of finished vehicles increased by 79% last year mainly for commercial vehicles

According to recent data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, despite the ongoing pressure from the renminbi's appreciation, China's automotive exports maintained a strong upward trend in 2007, reaching 621,700 units—surpassing 600,000 for the first time. This marked a significant year-on-year growth of 78.95%. The industry also saw a shift in product structure, with a noticeable improvement in the quality and competitiveness of exported vehicles, moving away from low-cost, unstructured competition. Meanwhile, auto imports also surged, reflecting a more diverse and higher-grade mix of imported models. In 2007, commercial vehicle exports remained the dominant segment, accounting for 54.4% of total auto exports, while passenger cars made up 30%. Total imports reached 314,200 units, up 37.8% from the previous year. The total value of auto trade hit $66.878 billion, with exports reaching $40.896 billion—a 45.31% increase—and imports totaling $25.798 billion, up 24.45% year on year. China’s auto exports became more concentrated after regulatory improvements in 2007. By November, vehicles had been shipped to 190 countries and regions globally. Top export destinations included Russia ($1.2 billion), Iran ($490 million), and Kazakhstan ($446 million), with the top 10 countries accounting for 62% of total export value. Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa remained the primary markets, together making up nearly 90% of all auto exports. Despite the rapid growth, challenges are emerging at the macroeconomic level. Dai Jiahui, director at Kearney, highlighted three key issues: the impact of RMB appreciation, rising raw material costs (such as metals and oil), and inflationary pressures. To counter these challenges, he suggested three strategies: reducing costs through operational efficiency, managing currency risks by diversifying production and sales locations, and using financial tools like hedging and long-term contracts to stabilize prices and minimize risk. These steps aim to ensure sustainable growth in the face of an evolving global market.

Galvanized Steel Pipe

Galvanized Steel Pipe is a kind of Carbon Steel Pipe, mostly welded pipe,Galvanized steel pipes are divided into cold galvanized steel pipes (electro galvanized steel pipes) and hot-dip galvanized steel pipes. At present, hot-dip galvanized steel pipes are mainly used in fire protection, electric power and highways.

Galvanizing can increase the corrosion resistance of steel pipes and prolong their service life. Galvanized pipes are widely used. In addition to being used as pipeline pipes for water transmission, gas, oil and other general low-pressure fluids, they are also used as oil well pipes and oil transmission pipes in the petroleum industry, especially in offshore oil fields, as well as pipes for oil heaters, condensing coolers, coal distillation oil washing exchanges of chemical coking equipment, as well as trestle pipe piles, support frames of mine tunnels, etc.

Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG), as referenced is the process of dipping fabricated steel into a kettle or vat of molten zinc.

Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) is the process of coating iron, steel or ferrous materials with a layer of zinc. This done by passing the metal through molten zinc at a temperature of 860°F (460°C) to form zinc carbonate (ZNC03). Zinc carbonate is a strong material that protects steel and can prevent corrosion in many circumstances. Hot-dip galvanizing can be carried out cheaply and in large batches.
