2-4 July 2025
Bangkok, Thailand

Event overview

SMMT will be organising a UK Pavilion at the 10^th edition of Mobility Tech Asia Bangkok (MTAB).

MTAB, in partnership with the Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand (EVAT), is Asia’s premier technology exhibition and conference on advancing sustainable transportation and showcasing cutting-edge technologies and innovations reshaping the mobility sector.

The 2024 event attracted over 28,000 attendees from 63 countries.

Market overview

Thailand, dubbed “the Detroit of Asia”, is the largest vehicle producer in Southeast Asia, manufacturing over 1.8 million vehicles in 2023. It’s also the region’s second largest car market and is home to 49 automotive manufacturing plants and 7 R&D centers.

Thailand aims to become an EV production hub by 2030. As of September 2024, four-wheel battery electric vehicle sales account for 13% of the market share, driven by the wider availability of models and supportive government initiatives, which offers subsidies and tax incentives to encourage consumers and manufacturers to transition to BEVs. Continued growth is also predicted for electric two-wheelers, trucks and cars.

SMMT recently published a Thailand market report designed to help UK companies better understand Thailand’s automotive sector and the opportunities for British businesses on offer.

UK trade pact with Thailand

The UK and Thailand entered into an Enhanced Trade Partnership in September 2024, designed to boost trade and investment. This partnership will help create opportunities for UK businesses in Thailand, the second-largest economy in Southeast Asia.
