Korgas has become the biggest auto exporter in Xinjiang. In the first month of this year, about 2,300 vehicles with a value of 93 million U.S. dollars were exported through Korgas, growing 73 percent and 63 percent, respectively, which accounts for roughly 70 percent of Xinjiang's total auto exports volume.

According to Urumqi customs, the improved economy in neighboring countries like Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan gives major steam to their demand of Chinese automobiles. The advantage of Chinese automobiles in price and performance also contributes to the significant increase of exports via overland ports in Xinjiang.
