March vehicle production in Thailand up 2.7% (Flash Report)
On April 27, 2026, the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) reported that Thailand produced 133,413 vehicles in March 2026, marking a 2.7% YoY increase. Around 33% of total production was allocated to domestic sales, while the remaining 67% was destined for export markets. Passenger vehicle production included 21,822 HEVs and 4,962 BEVs. For the January–March 2026 period, total vehicle production rose 5.3% YoY to 369,751 units, with passenger HEV production reaching 56,109 units and passenger BEV production totaling 10,495 units.
Vehicle exports in March 2026 edged down 0.6% YoY to 80,394 units, with the slight decline attributed primarily to the temporary closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which caused vehicle shipments to the Middle East to drop by approximately 16% compared with March 2025. Nevertheless, exports to Australia, Africa, Europe, Central America, and South America recorded growth. In the first quarter of 2026, cumulative vehicle exports stood at 219,994 units, representing a 2.0% YoY decline.
Domestic vehicle sales in March 2026 reached 59,865 units, increasing 7.3% YoY. Passenger vehicle sales included 12,074 BEVs and 14,895 HEVs, while internal combustion engine (ICE) pickup truck sales totaled 13,991 units. During January–March 2026, domestic vehicle sales rose 18.9% YoY to 182,083 units. This total comprised 50,141 passenger BEVs and 40,230 passenger HEVs, while ICE pickup truck sales reached 38,493 units.
According to the FTI, the increase in domestic sales was aligned with strong vehicle deliveries from bookings made during Motor Show 2026, particularly in the EV segment. Despite the broader market recovery, pickup truck sales remained under pressure due to tighter lending conditions and sluggish economic growth, both of which continued to weigh on financing approvals.
Industry stakeholders are calling on the new government to swiftly implement fiscal policies and budgetary measures aimed at accelerating public investment, restoring investor confidence, and stimulating broader economic activity. Enhanced industrial and economic stimulus is also viewed as critical to boosting production, improving manufacturing capacity utilization, and strengthening Thailand’s long-term competitiveness.
