Trade Show: MobilityTech Asia Bangkok

2-4 July 2025
Bangkok, Thailand

Event and market overview

SMMT will be organising a UK Pavilion at the 10^th edition of Mobility Tech Asia Bangkok (MTAB).

MTAB, in partnership with the Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand (EVAT), serves as Asia’s premier technology exhibition and conference on advancing sustainable transportation and showcasing cutting-edge technologies and innovations reshaping the mobility sector.

The 2024 event attracted over 28,000 attendees from 63 countries.

About the Thai automotive sector

Thailand, dubbed “the Detroit of Asia”, is the largest vehicle producer and second largest car market in South East Asia, producing over 1.8 million cars and commercial vehicles in 2023.

The country stands at the forefront of the ASEAN EV market and has an ambitious target to become an EV production hub by 2030. As of September 2024, four-wheel battery electric vehicle sales account for 13% of the market share, driven by the wider availability of models and supportive government initiatives such as the EV 3.5 program, which offers subsidies and tax incentives to encourage both consumers and manufacturers to transition to BEVs. Continued growth is predicted for electric two-wheelers, trucks and cars.

SMMT recently published a Thailand market report designed to help UK companies better understand Thailand’s automotive sector and the opportunities for British businesses on offer, including an overview of Thai vehicle production, automotive technology, R&D, charging infrastructure and policies.

UK trade pact with Thailand

In September 2024, the UK and Thailand entered into an Enhanced Trade Partnership designed to boost trade and investment with Thailand. This pact will help create opportunities for UK businesses in the country, which is the second-largest economy in Southeast Asia.
