asap Enters New Energy Commercial EV Market

asap enters the Commercial EV new energy market by establishing Evante and acquiring exclusive Authorized Distributor rights for Maxus Commercial EV automotive business in Thailand.

Reporters note that Synergetic Auto Performance Public Company Limited (asap), a leading Thai vehicle rental and automotive solutions provider, is fully expanding into the Green Business sector, aggressively entering the commercial electric vehicle (Commercial EV) market to meet the demands of modern, environmentally friendly transportation.

Evante Company Limited, a subsidiary, has officially signed a contract to become the sole Authorized Distributor in Thailand for SAIC Motor Commercial Vehicle, a leading Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, representing the Maxus brand's Commercial EV lineup.

The signing ceremony was attended by senior executives from both parties, including Songwit Thitipunya, Chairman of Evante Company Limited, Sakdidtch Chantraserikul, Vice Chairman of Evante, as well as Mr. Huaijing Yang, Chairman of SAIC Motor Commercial Vehicle, and Mr. Aimin Zhao, Chief Executive Officer of SAIC Motor Commercial Vehicle.

This cooperation agreement covers distribution rights, network development, and official dealership appointments in Thailand, effective from 26 March 2026 GMT+7 onward.


Success from Eternity at One under the asap umbrella leads to a new step with EVANTE.

The group's Green Business expansion through establishing Evante is rooted in the success of its affiliate, Eternity at One Company Limited, which within just two years has become a Dealer Group and Distributor holding rights and appointing dealers for new energy electric vehicles under the brands Changan, DEEPAL, AVATR, and NEVO from Changan Auto Sales (Thailand) Company Limited.

Over the past period, Eternity at One has helped elevate automotive business standards in Thailand by delivering electric vehicle (EV and REEV) driving experiences to more than 15,000 Thai customers through collaborations with business partners and nationwide dealer networks.

Currently, the company operates over 30 showrooms across Thailand, with plans to add 12 more under construction, aiming to expand the network to 60 showrooms by 2026.

This success reflects the comprehensive automotive business expertise of Songwit Thitipunya, founder and CEO of asap, who has over 30 years of experience and plays a key role in driving business growth, including managing global automotive brands such as DEEPAL, Changan, and AVATR in Thailand, which continue to receive strong consumer response.

Evante focuses on Commercial EV to meet Green Business needs.

Evante offers new solutions for Thai business and logistics sectors, positioning itself as a specialist in commercial electric vehicles by focusing on distribution and support for Maxus electric trucks, cargo vans, and public transport vehicles.

asap recognizes this market's high growth potential and the lack of truly expert fleet management players. The contract signed on 26 March 2026 GMT+7 marks the start of building a dealer and service center network ready to serve corporate and individual customers nationwide. Evante is confident of delivering the first vehicle batch to operators by August 2026.

The first showroom is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2026, with plans to add at least two more showrooms in Bangkok or other key economically growing provinces by the end of 2026.

"The past success of Eternity at One proves that asap has the readiness and capability to manage global brands. Today, we pass that confidence to Evante to drive the logistics industry and offer Thai people a new public transport vehicle choice, fully embracing the electric vehicle era," said the company.

To support the growth of Thailand's commercial EV market, Evante will officially open partnerships and dealer opportunities from the second quarter of 2026 onward, inviting capable entrepreneurs nationwide to join in advancing commercial electric vehicle innovation and grow alongside this future industry.
