Vietnam is expanding its automotive logistics network with a new export route from central Vietnam to Thailand, creating an additional connection for finished vehicles within Southeast Asia.
The new service began with the first call of a pure car and truck carrier at Chan May Port near Hue City. The initial shipment involved electric buses produced in central Vietnam and transported to Laem Chabang Port in Thailand.
The development introduces a new logistics option for manufacturers in central Vietnam, supporting more direct movement of finished vehicles to regional markets. It also strengthens the connection between local manufacturing activity, port infrastructure and international transportation networks.
The first shipment marks the beginning of finished vehicle exports through Chan May Port and highlights the growing role of central Vietnam in regional automotive logistics. Local logistics partners supported coordination for the project, while representatives from government and the logistics sector attended a ceremony marking the new route.
The port, located around 50 kilometers north of Da Nang, provides access to central Vietnam’s manufacturing and trade activities. Its infrastructure supports various vessel types and offers opportunities for handling additional cargo in the future.
Building on the experience gained from the project, further transportation opportunities are being explored for finished vehicles and other cargo, including construction machinery. The expansion of logistics connections can support more efficient movement of manufactured goods across Southeast Asian supply chains.
