The Thai capital – 31 October twenty twenty-three - The manufacturer and distributor of MG cars in Thailand, announce the launch of their first battery manufacturing facility in ASEAN. Located in the New Energy Industrial Estate, the plant's manufacturing capacity are projected to hit fifty thousand units of batteries annually, positioning them prepared to become a frontrunner in the Kingdom's electric vehicle production with Thailand becoming the production hub for EVs in ASEAN.

mg thailand -CP has inaugurated its latest EV battery production facility in ASEAN under the name of HASCO-CP BATTERY SHOP, situated at the New Energy Industrial Estate covering the area of around 75 rai. With the groundbreaking ceremony held in April, the EV battery production hub is divided into a pair of major areas. The primary area is the battery assembly area that operates fully automated through state-of-the-art robotics, laser welding systems ensuring precision as well as CCD vision systems for cross-checking the quality of each battery pack with its master unit prior to its installation in a 100% electric vehicle. The second area is designated to battery standard testing which involves more than sixty processes such as Charge & Discharge, air leak detection, Insulation Test as well as static load tests. This manufacturing line can produce up to fifty thousand cell-to-pack battery units per year, with the quality equivalent to those produced for global markets. Battery packs produced from this manufacturing plant will be initially deployed on the MG4 EV as well as upcoming models going forward. Currently, the plant is in its production preparation process with plans to officially open next year.


Mr. Zhao Feng, CEO of SAIC Motor-CP, stated, "The EV battery shop represents a key element in the development plan for the NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK located within WHA ESIE 2 industrial zone in Chonburi province earmarked towards the domestic manufacture of EVs. Along with the additional investment budget of 500 million baht, the plant is designed for the production of cell-to-pack (CTP) EV batteries which utilizes an innovative cube battery design. With the robust growth and increasing potential for Thailand's electric vehicle segment, SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION and HASCO-CP realize the prospects to become a manufacturing base for EVs catering to local and export markets, particularly across Southeast Asian nations."

"Since 2019, Morris Garages has penetrated the Kingdom's electric vehicle market, with EVs now highly popular and seen exponential growth as seen from a cumulative EV sale volume crossing 18,000 units. In addition to Morris Garages offering a wide range of electric vehicles in response to different lifestyles and preferences of all Thais, yet another notable contributing factor behind the company's growth lies in the fact that MG further focuses on building and bolstering EV Ecosystem which caters to long-term use of EVs, particularly via the investment for the installation of MG SUPER CHARGE which is now accessible nationwide. Progressing on its EV roadmap, MG has now elevated its EV Ecosystem a notch higher through unveiling an EV battery assembly plant — underscoring the brand's commitment.
