Ford plant inaugurated in Pursat province

The publicly-listed RMA Automotive, an authorised automobile distributor in Cambodia, inaugurated its subsidiary firm Ford Automotive Assembly Plant on Thursday in Pursat province. The plant will assemble over 1000 units in the first year of operation. The $21-million plant is located in Kroko Special Economic Zone in Sna Ansa in  Krokor district. Lieutenant General Hun Manet, High Representative of Prime Minister Hun Sen, attended the inauguration.

Speaking at the event, Ngon Saing, chief executive officer of RMA (Cambodia) Plc, said that the company plans to assemble over 1,000 units in the first year of operation, and increase to 4,500 units during full operation. The plant will assemble two models of Ford pickup – XLT and Wildtrack and the SUV – Ford Everest for the domestic market.

The price of the vehicles will be lower compared to the imported vehicles, Saing said. “It may be more expensive than the imported [vehicles] because we spend more in investment, more in labor costs and transportation, but due to government incentives, the product will be cheaper than imported cars,” Saing said.
