CHANGAN celebrates the first anniversary of its Rayong Automobile Factory, announcing that it has produced 20,000 vehicles, reinforcing Thailand's role as a major global hub for manufacturing and exports.
Mr. Deng Zhitao, Managing Director of Changan Auto Southeast Asia Co., Ltd., Managing Director and Chairman of Changan Auto Sales (Thailand) Co., Ltd., and Managing Director of Changan Auto Component (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said Thailand is a strategic location for CHANGAN in Southeast Asia to drive the VAST OCEAN Plan strategy, which is the brand's global expansion.
The Changan Automobile factory in Rayong province marks a significant step in establishing a foundation in Thailand, serving as a strategic production base for the ASEAN market and right-hand drive vehicle markets worldwide.
Producing 20,000 vehicles in just one year is a major achievement for CHANGAN, reflecting its manufacturing capability, the brand's strength in Thailand, and the trust from customers, business partners, and the government.
"Over the past year, this factory has played a crucial role in supporting CHANGAN's growth in Thailand, alongside the development of the new energy automotive industry, creating more than 30,000 jobs throughout the domestic supply chain, and transferring technology and innovation knowledge from China to Thai personnel," he said.
The first electric vehicle model produced by CHANGAN in Thailand is the DEEPAL S05, the brand's hero product that has received overwhelming response from Thai consumers due to its modern design, smart technology that suits the lifestyle of the new generation, and exciting driving performance.
Following that is the NEVO Q05, the second electric vehicle model produced in Thailand. It is a new-generation smart SUV designed under the concept of a smart, comfortable car, combining advanced technology, spacious and convenient cabin, practical functions for daily use, and driving performance that makes every journey easier, more comfortable, and smarter.
