China to set up auto research institute in Thailand, focus on electric vehicles

Hindustan Times  

China will establish a China Automotive Technology and Research Center in regional automaking hub Thailand, Thailand's government said on Friday, the centre's fourth such facility in the world. Representational picture Thai government tax incentives and subsidies have already drawn Chinese carmakers, including BYD and Great Wall Motor, which have committed to investing $1.44 billion in new production facilities in the country. CATARC, a Chinese government affiliated auto research institute, has centres in Germany, Switzerland and Japan and the latest one will facilitate Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers in Thailand, Thai government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke said in a statement. Thailand is Southeast Asia's largest car producer and exporter in the region, with Japanese manufacturers including Toyota Motor Corp and Isuzu Motors dominating the domestic sector for decades.
