曼谷讯——泰国乘用车市场在8月进一步实现电动化，纯电动汽车销量翻倍以上，混合动力车型大幅增长，而传统内燃机汽车进一步失去市场份额。
BANGKOK -- Thailand's passenger-car market became increasingly electrified in August, with sales of battery electric vehicles more than doubling and hybrid models posting strong gains, while conventional internal-combustion-engine vehicles lost further ground.
据泰国工业联合会（FTI）数据，8月国内车辆销量同比增长25.6%至59,809辆，连续第六个月实现增长。复苏主要由乘用车拉动。在乘用车中，纯电动汽车（BEV）销量激增113.3%至19,721辆，混合动力电动汽车（HEV）销量增长31.8%至14,807辆，插电式混合动力汽车（PHEV）销量跃升126.5%至1,053辆。相比之下，乘用内燃机汽车销量下滑17%至7,973辆。
Domestic vehicle sales rose 25.6% from a year earlier to 59,809 units in August, extending gains for a sixth straight month, according to the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI). The recovery was driven largely by passenger vehicles. Among passenger vehicles, battery EV sales surged 113.3% to 19,721 units, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) sales rose 31.8% to 14,807 units and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) sales jumped 126.5% to 1,053 units. In contrast, sales of passenger internal-combustion-engine vehicles fell 17% to 7,973 units.
包括纯电动汽车、混合动力电动汽车和插电式混合动力汽车在内的电动化车型在8月占乘用车销量的80%以上，凸显出市场正快速远离传统燃油车型。仅纯电动汽车就占当月泰国所有车辆销量的近三分之一。
Electrified vehicles, including BEVs, HEVs and PHEVs, accounted for more than 80% of passenger-car sales in August, highlighting a rapid shift away from conventional gasoline-powered models. BEVs alone accounted for nearly one-third of all vehicles sold in Thailand during the month.
车辆产量也增长10.9%至124,646辆，得益于电动汽车和出口车型产量的增加。
Vehicle production also rose 10.9% to 124,646 units, supported by higher output of electric vehicles and automobiles destined for export.
泰国工业联合会汽车工业部发言人Surapong Paisitpattanapong对《日经亚洲》表示：“市场正在复苏，但销量仍低于疫情前水平，当时月销量通常达到7万至8万辆。”
"The market is recovering, but sales remain below pre-pandemic levels, when monthly sales typically reached 70,000 to 80,000 vehicles," Surapong Paisitpattanapong, spokesperson for the FTI's automotive industry division, told Nikkei Asia.
Surapong将电动汽车需求增长部分归因于中东冲突导致的燃油价格上涨，这促使消费者考虑传统燃油车的替代方案。具有竞争力价格的电动汽车日益增多，尤其是来自中国制造商的车型，也有助于提振需求。
Surapong attributed the growth in EV demand partly to elevated fuel prices linked to the conflict in the Middle East, which has encouraged consumers to consider alternatives to conventional vehicles. The growing availability of competitively priced EVs, particularly from Chinese manufacturers, has also helped boost demand.
尽管整体销售数据有所改善，但泰国汽车行业仍面临购买力疲软和贷款标准收紧的挑战。作为泰国汽车市场关键细分领域的1吨皮卡销量在8月下滑10.8%至5,177辆，而双排座皮卡销量下降3.6%至4,910辆。
Despite the improved headline sales figures, Thailand's automotive industry continues to face challenges from weak purchasing power and tight lending standards. Sales of one-ton pickup trucks, a key segment of Thailand's auto market, fell 10.8% in August to 5,177 units, while sales of double-cab pickup trucks declined 3.6% to 4,910 units.
电动汽车需求的激增也凸显了泰国对进口车辆的依赖。8月乘用纯电动汽车（BEV）国内产量为13,126辆，远低于19,721辆的销量。今年前八个月，乘用纯电动汽车产量累计60,578辆，而销量达145,132辆。这表明该期间售出的纯电动汽车中约58%为进口车型。
The sharp rise in EV demand has also highlighted Thailand's reliance on imported vehicles. Domestic production of passenger BEVs totaled 13,126 units in August, well below sales of 19,721 units. For the first eight months of the year, passenger BEV production totaled 60,578 units, compared with sales of 145,132 units. This suggests roughly 58% of the BEVs sold during the period were imported.
“进口电动汽车不会在泰国创造就业岗位或价值，”Surapong表示，呼吁重组消费税，以在传统车企和新兴电动汽车制造商之间创造更公平的竞争环境。
"Imported EVs do not create jobs or value in Thailand," Surapong said, calling for a restructuring of excise taxes to create a more level playing field between established automakers and newer EV manufacturers.
泰国工业联合会（FTI）认为，泰国现行税制过度偏向电动汽车。本地组装的电动汽车征收2%的消费税，而进口电动汽车税率为10%。相比之下，混合动力汽车税率为6%至15%，燃油车税率为25%至35%。
The FTI has argued that Thailand's current tax regime disproportionately favors EVs. Locally assembled EVs are subject to a 2% excise tax, while imported EVs face a 10% rate. By comparison, hybrid vehicles are taxed at 6% to 15% and gasoline-powered vehicles at 25% to 35%.
政府原则上同意修订消费税结构。副总理兼财政部长Ekniti Nitithanprapas表示，新的汽车税收框架将于9月底前敲定。
The government has agreed in principle to revise the excise tax structure. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas said the new automotive tax framework would be finalized by the end of September.
