BYD opens first EV plant in Thailand, producing eight millionth car


Recommended Posts


I'll bet they've figured out a way not to be taxed to high heaven like us commoners. 

A buddy of mine calls BYD 'Burn Your Driveway' because of battery fires. 😂

As Western corporations pull their factories due to the Thai government raising the minimum wage to 400 THB, the Chinese come in a fill in the vacuum as the Chinese think long-term and are not seeking short-term profits by exploiting the work-force.

Fake News, BYD produce all Parts in Thailand......sorry to destroy your China Bashing:stoner:

Not bashing. It became normal for Thais to screwdriver foreign parts together. I have yet to read of a Thai engineer designing a car. Perhaps you can name the Thai brand.

So it is a screwdriver assembly factory and none of the parts are actually made in Thailand. Is that right?

It looks that they will need more then a  Screw Driver ,

 

The manufacturing process encompasses four main stages: stamping, welding, painting, and assembly, ensuring high-quality EV production for the Thai market.  

 

Largely the car manufacturers design the body of the car, and produce them in house. Many car manufacturers make their own engines and transmissions. At times they out source the engine and transmissions too.

Rest almost all the items are outsourced. Some of the out sourced items are as below. These are not manufactured by any car companies.

Seats

Steering System

Windshield / Window glassses.

Display panel

Wiring harness

Suspension (front and rear)

Radiator

Starter Motor / Power window motors

Wipers

Headlight, Tail lamp, Indicater lamp assembly

Wheel Rims

Tyres

Plastic items like Centre console, interior body and door trims.

Break system

Media / Music system

Door Sealing

Fuel tank, wiper water tank, coolant tank

Horn system

Airbags

Air Conditioning System

Hilarious comment. Do you think Chinese will pay anything close to what Japanese paid their Thai factory workers?

Why wouldn't they? Do you think the Japanese operate their factories as a charity?
