Situated in the New Energy Industrial Estate, the factory's manufacturing capacity is expected to reach fifty thousand units of EV battery packs every year, making them prepared to emerge as a frontrunner in the Kingdom's electric vehicle production and for Thailand becoming the production hub of electric vehicles in ASEAN. The automotive group has launched their new EV battery production facility in ASEAN under the name of HASCO-CP BATTERY SHOP, located at the NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK and spanning across an expanse of around 75 rai. With the groundbreaking ceremony held in April, the EV battery manufacturing plant is divided into two core zones. The primary area is the battery assembly line that operates fully automated through state-of-the-art robotics, laser welding systems for accuracy and CCD vision systems for cross-checking the standards of battery against a master unit prior to being installed into an all-electric car. The other core zone is allocated to battery testing and validation which involves more than sixty processes such as charge-discharge cycles, air leak detection, Insulation Test and static load tests. This manufacturing line is capable of produce as many as fifty thousand Cell-To-Pack EV battery packs per year, offering quality standards equivalent to batteries made on a global scale. Battery packs produced from this manufacturing plant are slated to be first installed on MG4 ELECTRIC as well as other models in the future. Currently, the plant is undergoing production preparation process and is expected to officially open next year. Mr. Zhao Feng, CEO at the automotive group, said, "This battery production plant is part of the masterplan for the New Energy Industrial Estate situated inside WHA ESIE 2 industrial zone in Tha
