Thailand's car production is expected to hit 3.8 million units a year in 2019 from 2.8 million now, fuelled by new output from 10 second-phase eco-car projects, predicts Siam Commercial Bank's research house. "Nine of 10 projects have already won Board of Investment privileges since last year and the last car maker will not miss out on approval because it has many automotive technologies that allow it to operate a business in Thailand," said Vithan Charoenphon, senior analyst of SCB Economic Intelligence Center .
