The Thai capital – 31 October twenty twenty-three - SAIC Motor-CP and MG Sales (Thailand), unveil the launch of their first EV battery production hub in ASEAN. Located in the NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK, the factory's manufacturing capacity are projected to hit fifty thousand units of EV battery packs every year, positioning them prepared to emerge as a frontrunner in Thailand's electric vehicle production and for Thailand to serve as a manufacturing base for EVs in ASEAN.

SAIC Motor-CP has launched its new electric vehicle battery production facility in Southeast Asia dubbed the HASCO-CP Battery Shop, situated at the NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK covering an expanse of approximately 75 rais. With the groundbreaking ceremony being organized this past April, the battery manufacturing plant comprises a pair of core zones. The first one is the battery assembly area that operates with full automation through state-of-the-art robotic technology, Laser Welding ensuring precision and Charge Coupled Device (CCD) for cross-checking the quality of each battery pack against a prototype prior to being installed into an 100% electric vehicle.  รถยนต์ไฟฟ้า  is designated to battery testing and validation comprising more than sixty processes such as charge-discharge cycles, air leak detection, Insulation Test and Static Test. This manufacturing line is capable of produce as many as 50,000 cell-to-pack battery units annually, with the quality equivalent to batteries made for global markets. Batteries manufactured at this manufacturing plant will be first installed on MG4 ELECTRIC as well as upcoming models going forward. At present, the factory is undergoing production preparation process and is expected for official operations to commence in 2024.

Zhao Feng, President of SAIC Motor-CP, stated, "The EV battery shop is part of the development plan underlying New Energy Industrial Estate located inside WHA ESIE 2 industrial zone in Thailand's Chonburi earmarked towards local manufacture of EVs. With the additional investment outlay worth 500 million Thai baht, the factory has been configured for the manufacture of cell-to-pack (CTP) EV batteries which utilizes the new cube battery design. With the strength and increasing potential within Thailand's electric vehicle segment, SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION and HASCO-CP recognize the potential to become the production hub for electric vehicles for both local and export markets, especially among ASEAN countries."
