I have a friend in Sweden that have some 24 Mercedes Benz Garbage trucks 5-6 years old all of them. His question to me was;  

Is it true that professional vehicles in Thailand must be equipped with gas engines instead of gasoline / diesel?
And do you think that they would be any interest among "garbage people" here in Thailand to buy  such a trucks......

Any input is valueable...

the import duties of importing these garbage trucks from Sweden to Thailand would make the idea a non starter IMO.

 

He would be better looking to market the trucks within Europe or even Africa.

 

To try and import them to Thailand he runs a real risk of them being impounded by customs and never seeing them again.

 

Also Thailand drives on the other side road.

 

Maybe Burma or Laos would be a better market in SE Asia, no idea what import restrictions in those countries but at least the steering wheel would be on the correct side 555

 

By professional vehicles I take it you mean commercial vehicles then the answer is no, but many operators convert commercial vehicles to run CNG in Thailand to reduce fuel costs.
