Bangkok – 31st of October twenty twenty-three - The manufacturer and distributor of MG cars in Thailand, reveal the launch of its inaugural battery manufacturing facility in ASEAN. Located at the New Energy Industrial Estate, the plant's manufacturing capacity is expected to reach 50,000 units of batteries annually, positioning them ready to become the leader in the Kingdom's electric vehicle production and for the nation to serve as the production hub of electric vehicles across Southeast Asia.

The automotive group has inaugurated their latest EV battery production facility in ASEAN dubbed the HASCO-CP Battery Shop, located in the NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK and spanning across an expanse of approximately 75 rai. With the foundation stone laying ceremony held in April, the EV battery manufacturing plant comprises two major areas. The first one encompasses the battery assembly area that operates fully automated through state-of-the-art robotic technology, Laser Welding ensuring precision as well as Charge Coupled Device (CCD) to cross-check the standards of battery against a prototype prior to being installed in a all-electric car. The second area is allocated to battery testing and validation which involves over 60 processes including charge-discharge cycles, air leak detection, insulation testing and Static Test. This manufacturing line can produce as many as fifty thousand Cell-To-Pack battery units per year, with the quality equivalent to batteries made for global markets. Batteries manufactured at this manufacturing plant will be first installed on MG4 ELECTRIC as well as other models in the future. At present, the plant is undergoing preparatory production phases and is expected to officially open next year.


Zhao Feng, CEO at SAIC Motor-CP, stated, "The EV battery shop is part of the development plan 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. Along with the additional investment outlay worth 500 million Thai baht, the factory is designed for the manufacture of Cell-To-Pack (CTP) electric vehicle battery packs which utilizes an innovative cube battery design. With the strength as well as growing opportunity for Thailand's electric vehicle segment, the parent companies recognize the prospects to become the production hub for EVs catering to domestic and international distribution, especially among ASEAN countries."

"Since 2019, Morris Garages has forayed into the Kingdom's electric vehicle market, and today electric vehicles have become highly popular witnessing rapid adoption as seen from a cumulative EV sale volume of 18,000 units. Not only does Morris Garages introduce a wide range of electric vehicles in response to varied lifestyle needs and requirements of all Thais, another notable key driver towards the brand's success is that MG further pays attention to building and bolstering an EV ecosystem which caters to sustained adoption of EVs, particularly via the investment for the installation of MG's fast-charging network which is now accessible nationwide. Progressing on its electrification strategy, MG has recently taken its EV Ecosystem to the next level by the opening of EV battery production facility — a reflection of the brand's dedication.
