Nex Point collaborates with Dayun Automotive: Who is Dayun? Only two electric vehicles in its portfolio?
AshleyMay 27, 2024, 04:35 PM
On May 23, Nex Point and China's Dayun Automotive signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly produce small electric vehicles in Thailand. In the initial stage, Nex Point will import the small electric SUV brand Yuehe for marketing and testing consumer response to ensure feasibility of further investments.
Dayun Automotive is located in Shanxi Province, China, with a registered capital of 1.07 billion CNY, covering an area of more than 1700 mu and a construction area of about 500,000 square meters. Dayun Automotive mainly focuses on heavy trucks, neutral trucks, and pickups, with only 2 new energy models under its brand, namely the Yuanzhi M1 and Yuehe that is now arriving on the Thai market.
Nex Point is considering participating in the EV3.5 national electric vehicle incentive plan, selling SUVs at a price lower than 490,000 THB. According to Dayun Automotive's official website, Yuehe currently has four colors available to choose from, with a price in China of 63,800 (approximately 329,139 THB) to 86,900 CNY (448,311 THB). This indicates that the vehicle's original cost is relatively low in China, and the factors influencing its price in the Thai market will mainly be taxes and the subsequent local production costs in Thailand.
Thailand's government has always been quite lenient with car import policies. The Thai EV3.5 policy aims to promote the growth of the electric vehicle industry from 2024 to 2027, including subsidies, reduction of whole vehicle import tariffs, and reduction of consumption tax. Worth noting is that, electric vehicle manufacturers joining EV3.5 must produce electric vehicles in Thailand starting from 2026, thus the mode of cooperating with foreign car companies to produce is gradually becoming a trend.
The early Thai car market share was occupied by Japanese auto companies. The cooperation between Nex Point and Dayun Automotive highlights the presence of Chinese electric vehicles in the Thai market. Previously, seven Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers pledged to use Thailand as a production base: BYD, MG, GWM, Neta, CHANGAN, GAC Aion and CHERY.

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.
