Bangkok – 31 October 2023 – SAIC Motor-CP and MG Sales (Thailand), reveal the launch of their inaugural battery production plant in ASEAN. Located at the NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK, the plant’s production capabilities is expected to reach fifty thousand units of batteries annually, positioning the company prepared to become the leader in Thailand’s electric vehicle production with Thailand becoming the production hub of electric vehicles across Southeast Asia.

The automotive group has inaugurated their latest electric vehicle battery manufacturing plant in Southeast Asia dubbed HASCO-CP BATTERY SHOP, situated in the New Energy Industrial Estate covering an expanse of around 75 rais. With the groundbreaking ceremony held this past April, the battery manufacturing plant is divided into two major areas. The first one is the battery assembly line that operates fully automated via state-of-the-art robotics, laser welding systems ensuring precision and Charge Coupled Device (CCD) for cross-checking the standards of battery against a master unit prior to being installed into an 100% electric vehicle. The other core zone is designated for battery standard testing which involves over 60 processes such as Charge & Discharge, air leak detection, insulation testing as well as static load tests. This manufacturing line can produce up to fifty thousand cell-to-pack EV battery packs annually, offering quality standards equivalent to those produced on a global scale. Batteries manufactured at this production facility are slated to be first installed in MG4 ELECTRIC as well as other models going forward. At mg , the factory is in its preparatory production phases with plans for official operations to commence in 2024.

Mr. Zhao Feng, CEO at SAIC Motor-CP, said, “The EV battery shop represents a key element in the masterplan for the New Energy Industrial Estate located inside the WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 2 (WHA ESIE 2) in Thailand’s Chonburi designated for the domestic production of EVs. With the additional investment outlay of 500 million baht, the factory is designed for the production of cell-to-pack (CTP) electric vehicle battery packs which utilizes an innovative RUBIK’S CUBE BATTERY technology. With the strength as well as increasing potential for Thailand’s EV market, the parent companies recognize the prospects of emerging as a manufacturing base for EVs for both domestic and international distribution, especially among ASEAN countries.”

“Since 2019, Morris Garages has penetrated the Kingdom’s electric vehicle market, and today EVs have become gaining immense traction witnessing exponential growth as seen from a cumulative sales figure for EVs of 18,000 units. In addition to MG introduce a diverse portfolio of EV models catering to varied lifestyle needs and requirements among Thai buyers, another significant contributing factor behind the brand’s growth lies in the fact that it also pays attention to building and bolstering EV Ecosystem supporting long-term use of electric vehicles, especially through investments for the installation of MG SUPER CHARGE which is now accessible across the country. Moving forward with their EV roadmap, Morris Garages has now elevated their EV ecosystem initiatives a notch higher through the opening of EV battery assembly plant — a reflection of the brand’s dedication.
