By GlobalDataThe announcement came soon after PTT Group power generation subsidiary, Global Power Synergy, opened a new plant in Rayong province to produce semi-solid batteries for public service EVs such as small local buses, tuk-tuks and motorcycles.
The THB1.1bn factory, the first of its kind in southeast Asia, has initial production capacity of 30 megawatt-hours to be expanded to 1 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in the near future.
PTT signed a preliminary agreement in May with Taiwan Hon Hai Precision to collaborate in the production and sale of EVs and key components in Thailand.
