produce small, fuel-efficient “eco-cars.”

182,000 jobs in the sector.

Why “ eco-car ”?

High MPG and Low CO2 emissionsengines : 1.3 liters or smaller, vehicles : 20km per liter (56.6 MPG)

Emit less than 192 g of CO2 per mile (120 g/km)

Not easily replicated by its rivalsWill be 100,000 units sold annuallyAround 5 billion baht (US$150 million) investment

POLICIES TO PROMOTE ECO-CAR

17 % tax (compared with the typical 30–50 %)Receive up to 8 years of exemption from corporate income tax payments and machinery import dutiesA company must produce cars that

Do not surpass a certain engine size (1,300 cc for gasoline engines and 1,400 cc for diesels)Consume 5 liters per 100 kilometers (47 miles per gallon) or lessGenerate no more than 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer, and meet Euro-4 emissions standards.

Companies must make a minimum investment, produce at least 100,000 cars by the fifth year of production, and produce at least 80 percent of parts domestically.

Thai Green label Launched in August 1994 by he Thailand Environment Institute
