Thai automakers face uphill climb in Covid aftermath

BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Foreign automakers in Thailand have been hit severely by the Covid-19 crisis, which has led to changes in automotive technologies and consumer behaviour, semi-weekly business publication Thansettakij said on Saturday (May 15).

Among the major upheavals in Thailand's auto industry last year was American automaker General Motors (GM) pulling out of the country and giants Nissan, Mitsubishi and Honda undertaking restructuring of their organisations at the beginning of this year.
