Thailand is China's fourth largest trading partner, fourth largest export market, and fourth largest source of imports in ASEAN. In recent years, with the continuous introduction of favorable foreign trade policies by the Thai government, Sunlong Automobile has seized this market opportunity and continued to increase efforts to deepen the development of the Thai market.
Recently, Shanghai Sunlong reached a cooperation agreement with a well-known enterprise in Zhejiang and signed the first batch of 100 10 meter pure electric bus chassis export orders to the Thai market, with an order amount of about 60 million yuan. In addition, Shanghai Sunlong is carrying out deeper cooperation with the company and plans to establish an overseas KD factory in Thailand within the year.
On the morning of July 5th, Mr. Suttiluk Buncharoen, Chairman of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) of Thailand, led a delegation to visit Shanghai Sunlong Bus Co., Ltd., focusing on the company's core competitive capabilities in technology research and development, production and manufacturing, and after-sales services. Mr. Sutila Bangcharen had a cordial and friendly discussion and exchange with Mr. Wang Fumin, President of the Automotive Industry Group. Mr. Sutila Bangcharun introduced that the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is the only national level economic zone in Thailand, covering the provinces of Chonburi, Rayong, and Chachoengsao in the east. As a key component of the "Thailand 4.0" strategy, the Eastern Economic Corridor aims to promote Thailand's transition to a high-income, innovation driven economy and help Thailand achieve its vision of becoming a developed country by 2037. Mr. Sutila Bangcharun explained to Mr. Wang Fumin the urgent demand for new energy vehicles in the Thai market, especially in ports, airports, sanitation, logistics, schools, and corporate groups, which require a large amount of investment. At the same time, he emphasized the need for charging facilities and improved after-sales support.
Mr. Wang Fumin warmly welcomed the arrival of the inspection team and introduced the development history and achievements of Sunlong Automobile. Mr. Wang Fumin emphasized to Mr. Sutila Bangchalun the production and manufacturing capabilities of the group in the entire industry chain of automotive parts, complete vehicles, and charging equipment.
With a high degree of customization, reliable quality, and excellent after-sales service, Sunlong Automobile has entered more than 50 countries and regions including Thailand, Malaysia, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Chile, and Peru. Especially in the Thai market, after years of continuous cultivation, Sunlong Automobile has firmly established itself as the number one bus brand in China. Faced with the differentiated needs of Thai market customers and the complex regional environmental characteristics, Sunlong customizes suitable product strategies and after-sales service models for Thai customers to accurately meet their needs. In order to maintain the best operational condition for all vehicles, Sunlong has appointed resident engineers to provide training on driving operations, troubleshooting, maintenance, and other services to local drivers in Thailand in batches. We also provide a complete set of operational solutions for Thai customers through the transportation of local technical personnel to visit and train in China, as well as cooperation with local maintenance service providers.
At present, on the basis of the original market ownership of 8000 vehicles, Sunlong Automobile has expanded its market through more than 2 years and cooperated with multiple different types of partners on different types of segmented markets. Through precise entry, it has successfully risen to become a leading force in the field of electric buses. This fully demonstrates the strength of Sunlong Automobile and lays the foundation for the signing of the first batch of 100 bus chassis.
Mr. Sutila Boncharen stated that the on-site inspection of Shanghai Sunlong has further strengthened his confidence in continuing to cooperate with Sunlong Automobile at a deeper level. After the first batch of orders are landed, he will continue to accelerate the locking of subsequent orders and complete the signing of 800 orders within the year, with an expected order value of 480 million yuan. At the same time, we will focus on promoting the establishment of KD factories in Thailand in the second half of the year, striving to achieve mass production as soon as possible.
As a well-known commercial vehicle manufacturing enterprise in China, Sunlong Automobile will actively embrace the market's favor, continue to uphold the brand concept of "comfortable technology, green travel", lead by example to achieve the "dual carbon" goal, and continue to work with various partners to achieve broader mutual benefit and win-win results.
