While Tesla is hiring for sales operations, Chinese BYD has signed a land in the country. It plans to build an EV plant there. Other automakers with manufacturing bases in Thailand include Toyota and Honda. The country is the fourth largest in auto assembly in Asia, with up to 2 million vehicles produced annually.
Thailand is pursuing the electrification of its transportation system to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Government spokesperson Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana says, “As part of that, the government now has a policy of not only supporting the increasing use of electric vehicles in the country but to likewise make Thailand a hub for producing electric cars and motorbikes in the Asian region.”
