Thailand's April Production Statistics

Thailand's April production falls 0.4%

Thailand's April production falls 0.4%, impacted by stagnant exports to the Middle East and weak demand. Chinese OEMs see a trend of reduced production, while Japanese OEMs such as Toyota and Isuzu see double-digit increases.

Supply chain: Chery Omoda 5 details

The Chery Omoda 5 is Chery Group's global strategic model, a C-segment compact SUV built on the T1X platform. It has been launched sequentially in Russia, ASEAN, and Latin America since 2022, and officially debuted in Europe in March 2024, starting with Spain. We have now confirmed 115 supply chain information for the current model produced in China. While the supply chain is primarily composed of Chinese suppliers, there is also some involvement from European and Korean Tier 1 suppliers, such as Bosch (China) supplying the brake control system and front camera, Valeo (China) supplying the HVAC blower motor, and Hyundai Mobis (China) supplying the airbag ECU.
