THACO exports largest-ever batch of automobiles, components, spare parts The Truong Hai Auto Corporation (THACO), a major car maker of Vietnam, recently exported more than 200 automobiles along with components and spare parts, the largest batch of goods it has shipped abroad so far. The items, exported to Thailand, Myanmar, Japan, and the Republic of Korea (RoK), include Kia passenger cars, buses, and semi-trailers produced at factories in the THACO Chu Lai Industrial Park, the central province of Quang Nam. Among them, 80 Kia Grand Carnival vehicles were destined for Thailand and 120 Kia Soluto for Myanmar. THACO said its Kia passenger cars have increasingly won over high evaluation by buyers in ASEAN countries as they meet global Kia standards and have competitive prices while their quality is comparable to that of vehicles made in the RoK.
