Thailand aims to raise vehicle production to 1.95 million by 2030 and 2.5 million by 2038. According to Sina Finance, the Board of Investment said in a press release following a Monday meeting chaired by Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas that the auto industry also targets an additional 640 billion baht ($19.1 billion) in revenue by 2030.
