Bangkok – 31 October 2023 - SAIC Motor-CP and MG Sales (Thailand), reveal the opening of its inaugural battery manufacturing facility across Southeast Asia. Situated at the New Energy Industrial Estate, the factory's manufacturing capacity are projected to reach 50,000 units of EV battery packs annually, making them ready to become a frontrunner in the Kingdom's electric vehicle production with Thailand to serve as the production hub for EVs across Southeast Asia.

SAIC Motor-CP has inaugurated their latest EV battery manufacturing plant in ASEAN under the name of HASCO-CP BATTERY SHOP, located in the NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK covering the area of around 75 rai. With the foundation stone laying ceremony being organized this past April, the EV battery production hub is divided into two core zones. The first one is the battery assembly area that operates fully automated via state-of-the-art robotic technology, laser welding systems for accuracy as well as Charge Coupled Device (CCD) to cross-check the quality of each battery pack against a master unit before its installation in a all-electric car. The second area is designated for battery testing and validation comprising over sixty processes such as charge-discharge cycles, air leak detection, Insulation Test as well as Static Test. This manufacturing line can produce up to 50,000 Cell-To-Pack battery units per year, with the quality on par with those produced on a global scale. Batteries manufactured at this manufacturing plant are slated to be initially deployed on MG4 ELECTRIC and other other models going forward. Currently, รถยนต์ไฟฟ้า is undergoing production preparation process with plans to officially open next year.

Mr. Zhao Feng, President of SAIC Motor-CP, said, "The EV battery shop represents a key element in the masterplan for the New Energy Industrial Estate situated within the WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 2 (WHA ESIE 2) in Thailand's Chonburi designated for local manufacture of EVs. With an added investment budget of 500 million baht, the plant has been configured for the manufacture of Cell-To-Pack (CTP) EV batteries utilizing an innovative RUBIK'S CUBE BATTERY technology. With the robust growth as well as increasing potential within Thailand's electric vehicle segment, SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION and HASCO-CP realize the prospects of emerging as the production hub for electric vehicles for both local and export markets, particularly across Southeast Asian nations."


"Since 2019, Morris Garages has penetrated Thailand's EV segment, with electric vehicles have become highly popular and seen exponential growth as seen from an accumulative sales figure for EVs of 18,000 units. Not only does MG offering a wide range of electric vehicles catering to different lifestyles as well as requirements among Thai buyers, yet another notable key driver behind the brand's growth is that MG further focuses on creating and strengthening EV Ecosystem which caters to long-term use of electric vehicles, especially through investments in setting up of MG's fast-charging network that is currently accessible across the country. Progressing on their EV roadmap, MG has recently elevated their EV ecosystem initiatives to the next level through unveiling an EV battery assembly plant — a reflection of the company's commitment.
