 Wednesday, March 29,2017

AsemconnectVietnam - Truong Hai Auto Joint Stock Company (Thaco) on March 26 commenced work on the Thaco-Mazda automobile manufacturing plant with total capital of VND12 trillion, or around US$527 million.

Thaco chairman Tran Ba Duong said the facility, covering 35 hectares at the Chu Lai Open Economic Zone in Quang Nam Province, is expected to come into operation in April 2018 with a designed capacity of 100,000 units per year.

He said the plant would be equipped with automatic and semi-automatic production lines with the application of state-of-the-art technology from Japan and European countries. Thaco’s strategic partner Mazda Japan will transfer technology to and offer technical assistance for the new facility.

Notably, robots will be used to control over 70% of assembly work. Besides, the testing line will be equipped with modern technology facilities connected to the global technical information system of Mazda.

He added Thaco is striving to become Vietnam’s leading auto manufacturer. Therefore, the company has developed auto production and assembly, and has gained a sharp competitive edge against world-famous auto manufacturers in the country.

To date, the enterprise has gradually mastered designs, employed modern technologies and increased localization ratios of its various auto models ranging from 18% to over 50%.
