Welcome to the bustling heart of innovation where Thailand is set to shine a spotlight on the future of mobility and sustainability. Imagine a world where the roar of combustion engines gives way to the silent hum of electric vehicles (EVs), a vision that Thailand is rapidly turning into reality. In an era punctuated by technological leaps, the Thailand Automotive Institute (TAI), in collaboration with the acclaimed RX Tradex, is stepping on the accelerator to steer the automobile industry into a sustainable future. Get ready for an electrifying journey at the “Automotive Summit 2024,” happening on the 19th and 20th of June 2024, a cornerstone event of the “Manufacturing Expo” that stretches from the 19th to the 22nd of June 2024 at the iconic Bitec.
Dr. Kriengsak Wongpromrat, the visionary President at the helm, proudly shares, “In 2023, the car industry not only revved up to a whopping 3 trillion baht, making up 18% of our national GDP, but our government’s relentless drive also positioned us among the world’s top 10, Asia’s top 5, and the undefeated champion in ASEAN, particularly in the realm of internal combustion engine vehicles.” It’s an ambitious journey towards making Thailand the last bastion for high-efficiency, eco-friendly combustion engine vehicles by 2030. Imagine Thailand as a green powerhouse, driving not just cars, but change!
In the international scene, Thailand boasts a robust vehicle export market, delivering dreams on wheels across Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East, accounting for over 70% of its total vehicle exports. The year 2023 saw export values hitting a staggering $US 19,776.19, a testament to the country’s thriving auto-export engine, powered by over 2,300 enterprises up and down the supply chain.
Gone are the days of traditional car-making. Thailand’s automotive scene is shifting gears towards a greener, cleaner, and safer future. Driven by policies that prioritize energy efficiency, decarbonization, and reduced greenhouse gases, Thailand is not just manufacturing cars; it’s fostering a sustainable lifestyle. The EV initiative is like a turbo boost for Thailand’s automotive industry, with an influx of investment and manufacturing plans from global juggernauts like BYD, MG, Changan, and several others, charging up the production line with a capacity to churn out 596,000 vehicles per year.
By Q1/2024, expect to see Thailand’s streets electrified with 2,466 BEVs, showcasing the prowess of GWM, MG, and Honda. It’s a clear signal; the EV market is not just growing—it’s surging, with over 113,435 registered BEVs driving us towards a cleaner future.
But what really gets the wheels turning is the “Automotive Summit 2024,” powered by the forward-thinking duo of the Automotive Institute and RX Tradex. Themed “Future Mobility Towards Sustainability,” it’s where the rubber meets the road in our quest for a balanced, sustainable future. Expect to rub shoulders with illustrious figures from 16 leading organizations, all united in a mission to drive forward economic, environmental, and social sustainability. It’s not just a summit; it’s a beacon for future mobility.
And the excitement doesn’t end there! “Automotive Manufacturing 2024,” a highlight of the Manufacturing Expo, is gearing up to unveil cutting-edge technology and trends that promise to redefine the industry. From electric vehicles to the ecosystem that fuels them, this event is a must-visit for anyone invested in the future of automobiles.
At the heart of this industrial symphony is the showcase of innovations set to redefine efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental stewardship. Picture high-speed vertical machining centres, workpiece quality inspection marvels, and eco-friendly materials like low-carbon aluminium—all poised to drive the industry into a greener tomorrow.
The “Automotive Summit 2024” isn’t just about gaining knowledge; it’s about experiencing the future of automotive manufacturing firsthand. So, mark your calendars for the 19th and 20th of June 2024, dress sharply (no sandals or shorts, please – we’re talking business and innovation!), and dive into a world where sustainability and technology collide. The future awaits at the Grand Hall, 2nd floor, Room 203, BITEC Exhibition and Convention Centre. Ready to secure your front-row seat to the future?
