BANGKOK – Chinese automaker BYD celebrated on Tuesday as its 10,000th electric vehicle (EV) rolled off production lines in Thailand, just four months after its Thai factory opened in July.
Located on 600 rai in WHA Industrial Estate, Rayong province, BYD’s factory boasts annual production capacity of 150,000 units, covering three popular models – Dolphin, Atto 3, and Sealion 6.
BYD said the Rayong factory will become a hub for exports to Asean markets.
The company said it has also earmarked over 35 billion baht for nine more projects in Thailand, including a new assembly line, parts manufacturing, welding and painting, and battery assembly facilities.
BYD operates in over 400 cities across 88 countries. The company’s automotive division reported global sales of 3.02 million units in the past year.
