Thailand eager to cement its status as 'Detroit of S-E Asia' with EV push

Bangkok

KNOWN for its strength in manufacturing automobiles, Thailand is now eager to cement its position as the "Detroit of South-east Asia" and be a regional leader when it comes to the growing electric vehicle (EV) market.

Earlier this month, China's Great Wall Motors Company (GWM) announced plans to build nine automobile models in Thailand, seven of which would be EVs.
