Chery Thailand Factory: Boosting the Development of the Electric Vehicle Industry in Thailand
AshleyApr 28, 2024, 03:19 PM
According to Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary-General of the Thai National Investment Committee, Chery is the eighth Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer to be approved, following BYD, MG, GWM, Changan, GAC Aion, NETA, and Foton.
Last year, Chery exported 1.8 million units, taking Thailand as a production base to meet Thailand's demand for right-hand drive electric vehicles, and exported vehicles to ASEAN countries, Australia and the Middle East. Narit added that Chery electric vehicles will be sold in Thailand under the names Omoda and Jaecoo, which are the company's sub-brands for foreign markets.
In the first phase, Chery will establish a factory in Rayong by the end of 2025 to produce pure electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) at a rate of 50,000 per year.
In the second phase, the production capacity will be increased to 80,000 per year by 2028.
Earlier this year Chery stated that it will set up regional production centers in Indonesia and Vietnam.
Currently, the market share of Chinese brands in the new car market in Thailand has reached 11%, a figure that has been growing steadily over the past few years. At the same time, the market share of Japanese car brands in Thailand has fallen from over 90% to 78%. As consumer demand for environment and technology increases, the market share of electric vehicles will gradually expand.

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.
