Two days ago, the Thai diving team successfully landed on the top with a set of "fried fish" actions, and Man Ge had a flash of inspiration, why not talk about the Thai automotive industry?
If you pay a little attention on the streets of Thailand, you'll find that the cars that come and go are almost all Japanese cars, with the Honda being the most, toyotas second, and then Mazda. Want to see a BMW, Mercedes-Benz pure luck.
Thailand does not have its own local brand, and the total production of cars in Thailand in 2017 was 1.988 million units, such a large production volume is because Thailand was selected as a foundry with cheap manufacturing costs, and it is not a domestic joint venture, it is a foreign-funded independent factory. Therefore, the price of the car is not cheap, selling 468,000 Lexus ES300h administrative version in China, and selling 718,000 yuan in Thailand.
Thailand also does not have such a large consumption power, most of the cars produced are exports, last year's car export volume of 1.14 million units, accounting for 57.34% of the total production. Therefore, the common cars on the street are still Fit, Fengfan, Vios, Mazda 2, and the price is almost twice the domestic price. And buying a car in Thailand can be divided into 20 years, comparable to buying a house in China.
However, on the model, the most is the pickup truck, the price is relatively cheap, and there is a 15% price subsidy for the diesel engine pickup truck, which can carry people and pull goods, and can also be used as a bus to modify it, which is equivalent to the status of the domestic Wuling Hongguang.
In the past two years, domestic auto manufacturers and Thailand's local auto conglomerates intend to mix a foot, but Japanese car companies immediately increased their capital to expand production against domestic manufacturers, and the local consortium has no research and development capabilities, and can not turn over a flower, in the end it is still the Japanese manufacturers who have the final say.
There is no research and development ability can only be pressed this hit, so those who talk about the discoloration of independent brands please give more love to buy independent brand cars, you can now buy cheap joint venture cars all rely on people to support it.
