On April 3, The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) collaborated with MG Cars, Thailand Industrial Park Management Authority, Thailand Subcontracting Promotion Association, and Standard Chartered Bank (Thailand) Ltd. to host the "MG Supplier Day" event at the Rama Garden Hotel in Bangkok.
The event attracted more than 450 participants from 218 local parts suppliers, with 134 of them engaging in business negotiations covering more than 40 different types of parts such as body parts, power systems, interiors, wiring harnesses, metal and plastic parts, etc.
Mr. Naris Teerathadaisakul, Secretary-General of the BOI, stated that building a complete and strong local supply chain is the key to the sustainable development of Thailand's electric vehicle industry. The BOI has always been committed to promoting the connection between local suppliers and international car companies, helping local suppliers improve their technical and quality levels, and enhancing their international competitiveness.
BOI invested in a total of 103 projects related to the development of the electric vehicle business, including electric vehicle production, battery production, and important components, as well as charging station services, with a total investment of 77.192 billion Thai baht. In order to promote the development of domestic component manufacturers in Thailand, BOI has cooperated with many car companies such as BYD, NETA, and BMW to hold procurement day events, and plans to hold this event with Changan, GAC-Aion, Great Wall Motor, and other companies in the future.

Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Why is the Toyota Sienna so popular with so many people?
In Malaysia, most family MPVs choose Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, or Kia Carnival. These models each have their advantages in luxury, space, or brand influence, but models that truly balance large space, multifunctional practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability are rarely seen.
