Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor (GWM) is making Thailand its base for the company’s first smart factory in Southeast Asia in a move to boost sales in international markets.
The company did not reveal whether the facility, located in Rayong, will be used to produce battery electric vehicles (BEVs), although it announced in March that BEVs will be rolled out of a manufacturing plant in Thailand within 2023.
“The factory will first produce a GWM sport utility vehicle named HAVAL,” a company representative.
