Located in the New Energy Industrial Estate, the factory's manufacturing capacity is expected to reach 50,000 units of batteries every year, making the company prepared to become a frontrunner in Thailand's EV manufacture with the nation to serve as a manufacturing base for EVs in ASEAN.
The automotive group has launched its new EV battery production facility in ASEAN under the name of HASCO-CP BATTERY SHOP, situated at the New Energy Industrial Estate and spanning across an expanse of approximately 75 rai. Following the groundbreaking ceremony being organized this past April, the EV battery production hub is divided into two core zones. The first one encompasses the battery assembly line that operates fully automated through cutting-edge robotics, Laser Welding ensuring precision and CCD vision systems to cross-check the standards of each battery pack with its master unit prior to being installed in a all-electric car. The other core zone is designated for battery testing and validation comprising more than 60 processes including charge-discharge cycles, Air Leak Test, Insulation Test and Static Test. This manufacturing line can manufacturing as many as fifty thousand Cell-To-Pack EV battery packs per year, offering quality standards on par with those produced for global markets. Batteries manufactured at this manufacturing plant will be initially deployed on the MG4 EV and other other models going forward. At present, the factory is undergoing production preparation process with plans for official operations to commence next year. Zhao Feng, President of SAIC Motor-CP, said, “The EV battery shop is part of the masterplan underlying NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK situated inside the WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 2 (WHA ESIE 2) in Chonburi province designated for the domestic production of EVs. Along with the additional investment outlay worth 500 million Thai baht, the plant is designed for the production of cell-to-pack (CTP) EV batteries which utilizes an innovative cube battery design. Given the robust growth and increasing potential for Thailand's electric vehicle segment, SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION and HASCO-CP recognize the prospects of emerging as a manufacturing base for EVs catering to local and export markets, especially among ASEAN countries.” “Since 2019, Morris Garages has penetrated the Kingdom's electric vehicle market, with EVs have become gaining immense traction witnessing rapid adoption reflected in an accumulative EV sale volume crossing 18,000 units. In addition to MG offering a wide range of EV models in response to different lifestyles as well as requirements of all Thais, another significant contributing factor towards the brand's success is that MG further focuses on building and bolstering an EV ecosystem which caters to long-term use of electric vehicles, especially through investments for the installation of MG SUPER CHARGE which is now accessible nationwide. Moving forward with its electrification strategy, MG has recently elevated their EV Ecosystem a notch higher through the opening of EV battery production facility — underscoring the company's dedication.
