Honda Restructures in Thailand: Ayutthaya Factory Reportedly Shifts Focus Amid EV Competition

本田汽車（NYSE：HMC）透露，預計到2025年，將停止在泰國大城府工廠的汽車生產。
The move reflects the company's intention to consolidate production at its plant in Prachinburi province, reported Reuters.
據路透社報道，此舉反映了該公司整合生產的意圖，集中在其於普吉市府的工廠。
This reflects the challenging environment for Japan's second-largest automaker in Thailand, where Chinese brands are aggressively competing for market share alongside rising consumer demand for electric vehicles.
這反映出日本第二大汽車製造商在泰國面臨嚴峻的環境，中國品牌正在積極爭奪市場份額，同時消費者對新能源車的需求也在不斷增加。
According to the report, Honda intends to transition its Ayutthaya plant, inaugurated in 1996, from vehicle production to car part manufacturing after next year.
根據報告，本田計劃在明年之後將位於大城府的工廠從汽車生產轉向汽車零部件製造。
Honda will centralize vehicle production at its Prachinburi plant, which began operations in 2016, the spokesperson confirmed. These are Honda's only factories in Thailand. Combined production at these plants has declined from 228,000 vehicles in 2019 to under 150,000 annually in the past four years through 2023.
本田將在其普吉市府工廠集中汽車生產，該工廠於2016年開始運營，該發言人證實，這是本田在泰國唯一的工廠，這些工廠的綜合生產從2019年的228,000輛車下降到了過去四年每年不到150,000輛車。
As per the report, Honda's annual sales in Thailand remained below 100,000 units for the past four years until last year. The company aims to align local vehicle production with sales and continues to export to Southeast Asian markets without plans for new investments in Thailand.
根據報告，本田在泰國的年銷量過去四年一直低於10萬輛，直到去年才上漲。該公司旨在讓本地車輛生產與銷售保持一致，並在沒有在泰國進行新投資的情況下繼續向東南亞市場出口。
