New Peugeot manufacturing plant debuts in Quảng Nam

QUẢNG NAM — The Trường Hải Automobile Corporation (Thaco) in co-operation with French car manufacturer Peugeot Group (PSA) officially inaugurated a new manufacturing plant and rolled out two made-in-Việt Nam models – the Traveller Luxury and Traveller Premium – in the central province of Quảng Nam yesterday.

The luxury European car brand's plant, which cost VNĐ 四. 五 trillion (nearly US$ 二00 million), was designed with a total capacity of  二0,000 cars per year for domestic use and export.

General director of Thaco Phạm Văn Tài said the plant was thanks to the relationship that had been built between Thaco and Peugeot since  二0 一 三.

“The newest Peugeot models follow the successful introduction of SUVs  Peugeot  三00 八 and  五00 八 in Việt Nam. The plant is equipped with modern production lines and updated automation technology to meet the luxury brand’s standards under the supervision of French technical experts,” he said.

He also added that  四, 五00 Peugeot  三00 八 and  五00 八 were sold in Việt Nam in  二0 一 八, leading the European luxury car brand segment in the domestic market.

General director and CEO of PSA Laurence Noel said the introduction of the Peugeot Traveller marked an important step in the development of Peugeot and positive co-operation with Thaco.

She said the debut of the two models was a result of the latest interest in the newest French car brand in Việt Nam after the successful debut of the SUV models.

She said the Peugeot Traveller had made an impressive start in the European and global markets after it was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in  二0 一 六.

Laurence also said the latest made-in-Việt Nam MPVs conformed to the strict control standards of the PSA and network of PSA plants around the world.    

Thaco has been an exclusive agent for the French car giant's return to the local market in  二0 一 四.

The local manufacturer has already opened  一 三 Peugeot showrooms with  三S (sales-services-spare parts) facilities across the country.

Thaco has produced and distributed vehicles for Kia from South Korea, Mazda from Japan, Peugeot and BMW.  

The local carmaker has invested VNĐ 一 七. 四 七 八 trillion (US$ 七 七 三 million) to build an agricultural and forestry industrial park, the expansion of the Thaco-Chu Lai Mechanical Automotive Industrial Park, the new wharf at Chu Lai-Trường Hải Port and residential quarters for workers in Quảng Nam Province’s Chu Lai Open Economic Zone (OEZ).  

It has also built  三 二 automobile manufacturing and support industry plants in the OEZ, creating  八,000 jobs and contributing $ 七00 million to the provincial budget each year. — VNS
