Chinese automakers have taken the spotlight at the Bangkok International Motor Show with the unveiling of a series of new energy models that aim to capture more market share as Thailand accelerates its electrification efforts.
The show, one of Southeast Asia’s most influential auto exhibitions, was once dominated by Japanese brands. They occupied nearly half of the booths just over two years ago. Running from March 25 to April 7 this year, Chinese brands have taken the center stage.
China’s largest new energy vehicle maker, BYD, is displaying its lineup including the Dolphin compact, the mid-sized Seal fastback and the Atto 3 electric crossover, which is the best-seller in the Thai market.
In 2023, BYD sold 30,650 EVs in Thailand, followed by 12,777 sold by Neta, a brand of Chinese electric vehicle maker Hozon Auto.
Neta launched the V-II SUV at the event. It has begun production in Neta’s Thailand factory, which is the first overseas production line for the company.
