The Chinese manufacturer BYD launched its latest massive invasion weapon this week, and it’s a monster!
BYD has just set sail with the launch of the world’s largest Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) ship for vehicles! Named “BYD Shenzhen”, in honor of the company’s hometown, this maritime giant set sail from the port of Yangzhou, located three hours northwest of Shanghai.
The monster measures 219 meters long, 37.7 meters wide, and has a draft of 9 meters. With a maximum speed of 18.5 knots (34.3 km/h), it promises to revolutionize vehicular maritime transport. Designed to carry up to 9,200 cars, the Shenzhen is the fourth ship of this type to join the manufacturer’s fleet. The goal now is to reach eight ships by early 2026 to support its international expansion.
A Green Giant
Where this ship stands out is in its environmental commitment. Equipped with dual fuel LNG (liquefied natural gas) technology and traditional marine fuel, it reduces emissions while improving efficiency through energy-saving devices. Better yet, it carries stationary BYD “box” batteries, enabling clean power supply during port stops or in low-emission zones.
This launch is not an isolated move. Following the “BYD Explorer” in January 2024, the “BYD Changzhou” in December, and most recently the “BYD Hefei” capable of transporting 7,000 cars, the brand continues to make waves. In 2024, it exported 417,204 electric vehicles, a 71.9% jump compared to 2023, while selling 4.25 million passenger cars worldwide. BYD proves there are no limits—neither on land nor at sea!
