DP World handles record energy vehicle shipment at port of San Antonio

DP World has handled the largest single maritime delivery of new energy vehicles to Chile, with 1,918 fully electric and plug-in hybrid BYD vehicles discharged at its multipurpose terminal in San Antonio. The arrival also marked the first call by a BYD car carrier at a Chilean port, with the BYD Changzhou visiting as part of its inaugural South American route. The milestone arrives as Chile’s electric vehicle market continues its rapid expansion, with plug-in vehicle sales growing 165. 4% year-on-year in the first half of 2026, reaching 6. 5% of the country’s new light and medium-duty vehicle market according to the Chilean Automotive Association.
