The first SKD (Skimmed, Do-Toothed) auto parts train carrying 150 sets of automotive parts departed today from Longtou Port in Fuling, Chongqing, and will be shipped to Skikda Port via Qinzhou Port. This journey shortens the trip by more than 10 days compared to the traditional method, helping Chinese automakers accelerate their localization efforts in North Africa.
Meanwhile, data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) shows that China's passenger car exports to Algeria increased by 65% year-on-year in January and February, with exports exceeding 27,000 vehicles in March alone. Chinese brands now account for over 42% of the Algerian imported car market, becoming the preferred choice for local consumers.
