GAC's battery unit Inpow starts production at Thailand plant, its first overseas pack facility

Inpow Battery, a battery subsidiary of GAC Group, has started production at its plant in Thailand, marking a key step in its expansion in Southeast Asia.

The facility in Chonburi province held a ceremony on October 29 to mark its first power battery pack rolling off the production line. It is GAC's first overseas in-house battery pack plant and Inpow's first factory outside China.

The plant will strengthen GAC's vehicle manufacturing, battery supply and local service capabilities in Southeast Asia, providing more reliable production capacity to support deliveries of its new energy vehicles in Thailand and other ASEAN markets, Inpow said in a statement on Friday.

Thai Energy Ministry spokesperson Pongpol Yodmuangcharoen, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) business development head Narong Vacharasathien and GAC executives attended the ceremony.

Inpow has delivered more than 300,000 power battery packs, with vehicles using its batteries having traveled a combined more than 10 billion kilometers (6.2 billion miles), the company said.

Thailand is ASEAN's largest automotive manufacturing hub. As the country advances its "30@30" target and EV 3.5 policy, it aims for zero-emission vehicles to account for 30% of its vehicle output by 2030, equivalent to more than 700,000 electric passenger vehicles, according to Inpow's statement. This is driving demand for local battery supply and energy infrastructure, it said.

Inpow plans to work with EGAT and other partners in areas including new energy vehicles, energy storage and energy equipment, with battery manufacturing at the core of the cooperation.

Inpow's 300,000th power battery pack rolled off the production line on October 15.
