Production Abroad

Horizon Auto’s Neta brand started producing its debut model, the Neta V-II (known as the Neta Aya in China), in Thailand at the end of last year. Before working with Bangchan General Assembly, a local partner in Thailand, manufacturing was scheduled to commence in January 2024, but it was able to begin sooner.

This same manufacturer produces the recently released Neta X. First, the Thailand plant is delivering automobiles to Malaysia and Thailand, and it is anticipated that additional ASEAN countries, such as Indonesia and Vietnam, will follow.

With 12,777 EVs sold, Neta was the second-best-selling electric brand in Thailand, behind BYD. The Neta V, the brand’s lone model, sold the second-most electric cars in Thailand last year, despite its limited availability. According to Neta, the company intends to open 500 foreign sales and service locations by 2024 and expand its worldwide sales network to include 50 nations.
