Thailand Video News: BYD Inaugurates First Plant in Thailand (short)

BYD Inaugurates First Plant in Thailand: Chinese automaker BYD has opened its first electric vehicle (EV) plant in Rayong, Thailand. The facility, constructed in 16 months, can produce 150,000 vehicles annually, including models like the BYD Dolphin, Atto 3, Seal, and Sealion 6. This expansion is part of BYD’s strategy to grow in Southeast Asia amid rising tariffs on Chinese EVs in the U.S. and Europe. The plant supports Thailand’s goal of having 30% of vehicles be electric by 2030 and is expected to create 10,000 jobs.
