Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand Showcases EV Manufacturing Opportunities at China Die Casting 2026

The Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand announced on July 20, 2026, that it participated in China Die Casting & China Nonferrous 2026, held in China, on July 15. During the event in Shanghai, EVAT's Vice President for Manufacturing Support delivered a presentation outlining business opportunities within Thailand's electric vehicle manufacturing ecosystem. The presentation focused on the country's expanding production capabilities and its potential to attract additional investments across the EV supply chain.

Thailand Promotes EV Manufacturing Ecosystem

During the conference, EVAT emphasized the increasing role of lightweight materials and advanced die-casting technologies in the production of xEVs. The association explained that lowering vehicle weight helps improve overall efficiency and can extend the driving range of electric vehicles. These manufacturing technologies are becoming increasingly important as automakers seek higher performance while optimizing production processes and reducing energy consumption.

Investment Opportunities for Chinese Suppliers

EVAT invited Chinese suppliers and investors to evaluate business opportunities within Thailand's growing EV manufacturing sector. The association highlighted the potential for establishing local production of die-casting machines and metal furnaces to strengthen the domestic supply chain. Expanding local manufacturing capacity could support future vehicle production while improving access to key industrial equipment required by the country's rapidly developing electric mobility industry.

Industry Collaboration During the Event

In addition to its conference presentation, EVAT collaborated with the Thailand Die Casting Association and the Thai Foundrymen's Association to organize business matching sessions. These meetings created opportunities for manufacturers, suppliers, and investors to establish new partnerships, exchange technical expertise, and explore future cooperation that can further strengthen Thailand's position as a regional hub for electric vehicle manufacturing.

Key Highlights from EVAT's Participation
