Exporting cars

[KG79]

I did not try it yet, but it is possible to build cars mainly for export?

[LovelyPL]

Yes, it is possible. You just need to transport these cars to the border.

Great, thx! ;-)

How do I do that? I tried some ideas but none of them worked.

Build production plant . Buy western vehicle blueprint. Export to eastern block. Count money.

For the road and rail plants:
1. Obtain a vehicle that can carry the vehicles you wish to export (e.g. Skoda 706 RTTN or a train with flatcars for exporting cars, or a locomotive by itself for exporting other locomotives and railcars).
2. Assign that vehicle to a dedicated line with instructions to "load vehicles" at the factory/vehicle storage/loading station directly attached to factory or storage and "unload vehicles" at a customs house (or beyond-borders stop if using ships to export).

If you're trying to export ships and aircraft, assign the ships and aircraft you're trying to sell to a line which has one stop (the beyond-borders stop for whoever you want to sell them to) and send them on their way.

Note that vehicles you produce for export should never be sent to a depot or other workplace as doing so will cause them to lose a significant amount of their value.

In the ship yard is a checkbox which allows players to sell produced ships automatically. Once that is activated any finished ship will start it's trip to be sold.
I believe that works for planes as well. Locos and street vehicles need to be transported.

exporting vehicles of all kind is very good way to gain a lot of money if u can produce components needed. if i am correct vehicles prize dont fall even if you sell 100 at once

The production and sale of Western equipment for rubles is very profitable, even if all the materials are imported.

How about transporting cars on a short-distance train to the wharf/freight terminal and trying to reload them on a ship there? Would it work?

Yes

[Silent_Shadow]

Yes, but the vehicles and containers need an intermediate storage space at the harbor, as you cannot directly transfer vehicles and containers from carrier to carrier. Vehicles/containers need to be unloaded into a storage space before they can be loaded onto other vehicles.

The container harbor has its own storage for this and a rail connection, or you can unload into a space for vehicles that is connected to the harbor (thus letting you use small/medium cargo harbors).

i find it best to sell cars with aa a trains, u can use ships if you have factory close to harbor, but i would stay with trains if u have infrastructure for that.
