bazmlb Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Truck makers have cut down parts orders by 70 per cent, as sales slow on intensifying political tension, according to the Thai Auto Parts Manufacturers Association (TAPMA).TAPMA honourary president Prasartsilp On-aht said that dealers now have hard times selling big trucks. Meanwhile, small trucks still can find buyers, but combined vehicle sale volume could fall below forecasts. He said that the auto production in Thailand may fall from the 2.7 million unit target in 2014 to 2.55 million."Part makers are struggling to cope with the situation," he said. Small companies suffer the most, he added. At some companies, overtime production has been cut down by half.He expected the situation to improve in the third quarter.The auto-parts industry generates annual revenue of about Bt700 billion.-- The Nation 2014-1-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wong! Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Nothing in Thailand is going to improve economically until they can get grown ups voted into office instead of self centered, single minded children. I doubt foreigners are allowed to run for office here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
