Chinese automaker BYD has inaugurated its first electric vehicle plant in Thailand, marking a significant step in its expansion into Southeast Asia. The factory opening comes amidst rising trade tensions, with the EU and US both imposing higher tariffs on Chinese EVs. BYD's new facility in Thailand, built in just 16 months, has an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles, making various BYD models, including batteries and transmissions. The plant is expected to create 10,000 jobs and contribute to Thailand's goal of having 30% of its vehicles electric by 2030. BYD's global ambitions are evident, with plants in Brazil, Hungary, and Uzbekistan also in the works, showcasing its commitment to becoming a leading player in the EV market.
