AutoAlliance Thailand Inaugurates New Mazda-Ford Passenger Car Plant
13 July 2009
Mazda Motor Corporation and Ford Motor Company inaugurated their new joint venture manufacturing passenger car plant at AutoAlliance Thailand (AAT).
The completed passenger car plant increases the total annual production capacity at AAT to 275,000 units (including CKD units). The new plant will produce the Mazda2 and Ford Fiesta compact cars for sale in Thailand and export throughout the Asia-Pacific region. AAT already exports Mazda and Ford pickup trucks to more than 130 markets around the world.
The new, highly flexible passenger car plant features a new stamping line and body shop, trim and final process areas.
The completed paint shop can now accommodate both pickup trucks and passenger cars, and uses the environmentally-friendly Three Layer Wet Paint system, which reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) and CO2 emissions, and improves vehicle painting quality.
