Concurrently, car production increased by 14.17% year-on-year, reaching 135,685 units, a considerable jump from a 5.92% rise in September. The production growth was mainly due to passenger cars, which rose by 17.94% to 55,997 units, and BEVs, which saw an impressive 1,265% rise to 9,393 units. As Southeast Asia’s leading automotive manufacturing hub and a significant export base for global automakers, Thailand faced a 5.86% year-on-year decline in vehicle exports, with 82,603 units shipped.
