GLOBAL GREEN
AUTOMOTIVE
PRODUCTION
BASE
Thailand’s automotive industry has been continually
developing for over 50 years with strong support
from both the public and private sectors. Thailand
has been the automotive hub of ASEAN, with the
largest automotive production among Southeast
Asian countries, ranking ninth globally in 2012.
The automotive industry is a vital sector in Thailand,
with a significant contribution to the country’s
economy, accounting for 10% of Thailand’s gross
domestic product (GDP). In 2012, Thai automotive
production capacity was 2.75 million vehicles and
the industry employed over 500,000 people; the
production capacity is expected to reach 3 million
units by 2015. The government coordinated with
the private sector to formulate the Master Plan
for Automotive Industry (2012-2016) to develop
Thailand as a global green automotive production
base and to increase research and development for

new plant will begin production in 2014 with an
initial capacity of 75,000 units per-year, and will
expand up to 150,000 units.
Mazda has decided to invest almost US$375 million
to open a transmission plant in Chonburi, near
the Auto Alliance Thailand (AAT) plant in Rayong.
Operations at the new plant will commence in March
2016, and will supply automatic transmissions for
SkyActiv models.
Several Chinese auto-makers also plan to invest in
Thailand. China’s SAIC Motor Corp will enter into
a US$289 million joint venture with Thailand’s
Charoen Pokphand Group (CP) to establish a 50,000
unit assembly plant of British MG cars in Thailand.
Moreover, Chinese sport utility vehicle (SUV) and
pick-up truck maker Great Wall Motor (GWM) has
announced plans to invest up to US$340 million in
Thailand.
5. AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
OVERVIEW
The Thailand automotive industry has grown steeply and in 2012 production hit a
new record of 2.45 million units, 68% higher than 2011. Thanks to the government’s
First Car Buyer scheme, which allowed people buying a first car to receive up to
THB100,000 (US$3,333) tax refund, vehicle sales and production were boosted.
Moreover, according to the Thailand Ministry of Commerce, Thailand’s automotive
industry was the largest export sector, with an export value US$24 billion in 2012. In
the same period, auto parts imports totaled nearly US$13 billion.
Thailand is in a superb location for automotive production, due to its strategic

8. THAILAND’S
AUTO PARTS
INDUSTRY
While Thailand has emerged as a regional
automotive production hub, the automotive parts
and components sector has also played a significant
role in the strong growth of the automotive industry.
There are approximately 2,400 automotive suppliers
in the country, about 709 of which are original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Major foreign
parts and components manufacturers inThailand are
such as France’s Valeo, Germany’s Bosch, US-based
TRW, Britain’s GKN and Japan’s Denso, Mitsuba and
Mitsubishi Electric.
According to the Japan Automobile Manufacturers
Association, Thailand-made automotive parts have

10. AUTOMOTIVE
ELECTRONICS
The utilization of electronics has become more
prevalent across a variety of automobile systems.
Electronics systems have improved automobile
performance, safety, comfort, and efficiency.
Moreover, the trend of alternative fuel, fuel efficiency
and emissions standards are important factors
driving demand of automotive electronics. The
global demand for automotive electronics systems
is expected to reach US$191.3 billion in 2013 and is
forecast to reach US$314.4 billion in 2020.
Innovation and development in automotive
electronics have expanded to support the high
demand for smarter vehicles. Automotive electronic
components can be utilized in many systems
including power or engine controlling systems,
safety systems, driver assistance, passenger comfort,
information systems, and in-car entertainment.
As the major automotive production hub of ASEAN,
Thailand is one of the largest automotive electronics
marketsintheworld.Industryanalystshaveindicated
that there is still significant opportunity to invest in
automotive electronics in Thailand. There are leading
automotive electronics manufacturers in Thailand,
such as Toyota Tsusho, who produces embedded
software for automotive applications, and other well-
known local manufacturers, including Omron and
Mizuki.
11. OPPORTUNITIES
Thailand is a vehicle production base in ASEAN, with
the largest amount of vehicle assembly in the region.
Although many leading vehicle manufacturers
and auto parts and components producers have
production facilities in the country, some auto parts
are still imported from overseas. Opportunities exist
for foreign suppliers to manufacture electronic fuel-
injection systems, substrates for catalytic converters,
continuously variable transmissions, electronic
stability controls and regenerative braking systems,
among numerous other products in Thailand. More
R&D, design and testing centers are also needed,
despite major players such as Yamaha, Bridgestone,
Maxxis, and Michelin operating such facilities in
Thailand already.
Hi-Tech Vehicle Parts and Components
Projects in high-tech vehicle parts and components
manufacturing are considered priority activities by
theThailand Board of Investment (BOI), which means
they are exempt from machinery import duties and
from corporate income tax for 8 years, regardless
of location within the country. Some examples of
eligible activities include electronic fuel-injection
systems, ABS brake systems, substrates for catalytic
converters, automatic transmissions, continuously
variable transmissions (CVT), traction motors for
automobiles (e.g. hybrid car, fuel cell), electronic
stability control (ESC), and regenerative braking
systems.
NGV Car
The Thai Ministry of Energy supports fuel-efficient
transportation through a natural gas vehicle
(NGV) initiative. This initiative includes natural gas
subsidization through PTT Public Company Ltd.,
reduced import duty on NGV tanks from 17% to 10%
in 2012, and reduced import duty on NGV control
system parts and components, from 35% to 10%.
12. Eco-Cars
Eco-cars continue to receive incentives to promote
the growth of the eco-car market locally and
abroad. For instance, the incentives will be applied
exclusively to materials that cannot be produced
locally. Incentives include duty reduction of up
to 90% granted for two years, with annual review.
The new measure is intended to help eco-car
manufacturers by lowering their production costs
and reducing their burden in sourcing parts that are
not available or locally produced in Thailand. This
measure also encourages more investment in eco-
car parts production, which provides the country
with economies of scale and greater competitive
advantage in the global eco-car production business.
The BOI approved eco-car projects from Nissan,
Honda, Suzuki, Mitsubishi and Toyota. Specific
models such as the Nissan March, Honda Brio, Suzuki
Swift, and Mitsubishi Mirage are currently being
manufactured in Thailand. Additionally, Thailand’s
Ministry of Finance has reduced the excise taxes on
eco-cars from 30% to 17%.
Passenger Cars
Although Thailand has a strong focus on pickup
trucks, passenger cars receive similar favorable
treatment in manufacturing promotion. The
requirement for the promotion of passenger car
manufacturing includes a minimum capacity for the
approved models of 100,000 units per-year within 5
years and a minimum investment, exclusive of land
cost and working capital, of no less than US$500
million (THB15 billion). Projects that meet these
criteria are eligible for a five-year corporate income
tax holiday and exemption from import duties on
machinery regardless, of location within the country.
13. E-85 Fuel
Thailand’s Ministry of Finance has reduced the excise
taxes on cars using E85 fuel to 22%, 27% and 32%,
depending on engine size.
Big-Bike, 4-Stroke Engine Motorcycles
(from 248 CC)
Regardless of plant locations, big-bike motorcycle
manufacturing activities will be eligible for
exemption from import duty on machinery. For
projects that include engine manufacturing starting
from machining key parts, such as cylinder heads,
crankcases, crankshaft, camshaft, cylinder block and
connecting rod, the corporate income tax holiday
will be offered for 3-8 years, depending on the plant
location.
Vehicle Tires
Firms manufacturing vehicle tires are exempt from
machinery import duties and corporate income tax
for 8 years, regardless of zone.
According to the Excise Department, Ministry of
Finance, the current automotive excise taxes scheme

In order to promote green technology, the Thailand government has restructured
automotive excise taxes to better-align with vehicle emissions that will be effective on
1 January 2016, as follows:
15. WHY THAILAND
According to the Automotive Industry Master Plan
(2012-2016), Thailand’s automotive industry will
become a global green automotive production
base. This development will expand the automotive
industry of Thailand from the production hub of
ASEAN to the global market.
Nearlyalloftheworld’smajorautomakers,assemblers,
and parts and components manufacturers have
established manufacturing facilities in Thailand. All
of leading Japanese vehicle producers have opened
production sites in the country, as have major
American automotive firms such as Ford Motors
and General Motors, as well as German companies
Daimler - makers of Mercedes Benz - and Bayerische
Motoren Werke, better-known as BMW.
Promising Investment Destination
Thailand is an excellent location as a world-class
automotive production base. Almost all of the world’s
major automotive manufacturers have factories
based in the country. Situated in a strategic location
in the center of Southeast Asia, Thailand provides
easy access to regional markets. Growth in domestic
demand has bolstered the robust export market
for the Thai automotive industry. These factors
contribute to the evident opportunities for foreign
investors to enter the market.
16. Additionally, there are tax and non-tax incentives that
the Thai Government offers to the manufacturers of
vehicles, vehicle parts, and for automotive R&D and
testing. Non-tax incentives include land ownership
rights for foreign investors, permission to bring in
foreign experts and technicians, and work permit
and visa facilitation for foreign expat employees.
The Thai Government also does not impose export
requirements, local content requirements, location
requirements, or foreign equity restrictions on
manufacturers.
Abundant skilled-labor supply
Thailand provides a highly efficient and affordable
workforce. In 2012, more than 500,000 workers were
employed in the automotive sector in the country.
Thai laborers have comparative advantages in high
skill levels and quality over most other countries in
the region.
Auto Parts Clusters
The automotive industry has been a priority sector
for the economy of Thailand. Thailand has shown
impressive growth in this sector. With government
support, auto parts clusters were developed to
tighten business connections between automotive
firmsandtheirsuppliersinenhancedcommunication,
lower logistics costs and improved flow of products.
Excellent Infrastructure
Thailand is a transportation hub in the region;
the country provides world-class infrastructure to
support convenient logistics. With extensive road
networks through the east-west and north-south
corridors facilitating access to all nearby countries,
Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Laem
Chabang — a leading deep-sea port — and rail links
to all regions across the country, Thailand offers
manufacturers cheap, easy, and efficient logistics.
Thailand’s Trade Liberalization
Thailand has bilateral free trade agreements with
many countries, including Japan, India, Australia,
New Zealand, and members of ASEAN, extending
trade opportunities into the global marketplace.
Furthermore, the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement
(AFTA) will expand the market of Thailand to the
10 member countries of ASEAN that collectively
comprise a market of 600 million consumers. Tariffs
for auto parts exported to ASEAN nations were
eliminated entirely in 2010.
17. The establishment of the ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC) in 2015 will serve as a massive
single market that is fully integrated into the
global economy. The AEC will open new doors to
manufacturers by transforming ASEAN into a region
with free movement of goods, capital, services,
investment and workforce.
Excellent Government Support
The Thai government has a mission to promote the
country as a global green automotive production
base.The Master Plan for Automotive Industry (2012-
2016) was developed with a view of establishing the
Kingdom as one of the world’s key manufacturing
centers by increasing vehicle output by an average
of 10% annually; and also aims at making the
country one of the top ten auto-manufacturing
countries, a goal that has already been achieved with
Thailand’s rank of ninth, globally, in 2012. To support
automotive investment, BOI has a philosophy to
promote liberalization and transparency, providing
equaltreatmenttoallmarketplayers.Thecountryhas
created the most attractive business environment
for the auto industry and has prepared essential
resources for every type of automotive business,
including developed basic infrastructure, quality
labor force, as well as strong upstream industries and
supporting industries.
18. ATTRACTIVE
INVESTMENT
INCENTIVES
The BOI offers a range of fiscal and non-
tax incentives for investments based on
location. Tax incentives include exemption
or reduction of import duties on machinery
and raw materials, and corporate income
tax exemptions and reductions. Non-tax
incentives include permission to bring in
foreign workers, own land and take or remit
foreign currency abroad. Additionally, projects
in any manufacturing and some service
sectors are entitled to majority or 100% foreign
ownership.
As indicated in the section above on opportunities,
the BOI has created several packages that target
different aspects of automobile manufacturing. In
addition, the BOI has classified 11 categories of vehicle
parts (including tires), as well as LNG or CNG containers,
engines, parts and equipment for NGVs, and machines
or equipment for NGV service stations, as priority
activities. As such, projects in these activities are granted
exemption of import duties on machinery for all zones,
eight-year corporate income tax exemption for all zones
(subject to the corporate income tax exemption cap), and all
relevant location-based incentives.
Of these 11 categories, six automotive activities (automatic
transmissions, CVTs, traction motors for automobiles such as
hybrid cars and fuel cell cars, electronic stability controls or ESCs,
regenerative braking systems, and rubber tires for vehicles) are
eligible for the BOI’s special incentives promoting sustainable
development, if the investor submits an application by the end of
December 2013 .
The incentives for these activities include an eight-year corporate
income tax holiday without being subject to a corporate income tax
exemption cap; a five-year 50% reduction of corporate income tax on
net profit following the expiration of the corporate income tax holiday;
exemption of import duty on machinery; a 10-year double deduction of
transportation, electricity and water supply costs; deduction from net profit
of 25% of investment in infrastructure installation and construction costs,
in addition to normal capital depreciation. Projects can be located anywhere
except Bangkok.
