According to CCTV Finance, according to CCTV Finance News, export orders for auto parts have grown against the trend, and factory production is busy. However, companies are still mixed, with problems such as rising prices of raw materials and persistently high ocean freight charges.

Zhejiang Taizhou Sanyuan Vehicle Purifier Company currently has sufficient orders. However, due to the rising prices of precious metals such as palladium and rhodium, steel and other raw materials and the rising sea freight, the cost has increased by at least 20%.

According to reports, stainless steel rose to 8,200 yuan per ton last year, this year it rose to 14,000 yuan per ton, iron plate last year was 4,200 yuan per ton, and recently rose to 8,300 yuan per ton. As an important element in the production of purifier products, the price of precious metal rhodium has also tripled, from 2000 yuan per gram last year to 6000 yuan this year. Sea freight has increased by 10 times, and containers are often unavailable.

Oubo Optoelectronics, which produces car lights in Taizhou, Zhejiang, is the same. Since the beginning of this year, the prices of car lights have been increasing. To this end, the company has increased the research and development of new products, and tried to expand the products to trucks, new energy vehicles and agricultural vehicles. Innovative products such as new energy charging indicators will soon be put into production.

A related person said that metal raw materials are rising, especially aluminum, ocean freight has also risen, freight is expensive, and the time is long. In some cases, the freight price is higher than the product price. If you report it to the customer, the customer will hang up. Hang up, the salesman can't make an order, the freight forwarder will not have the goods, and the factory's goods will not be sold.

Of course, due to the price increase of raw materials, the cost of many corresponding new energy vehicle factories has been impacted, and these will be fed back to the consumer level.
