napag-iiwanan na tayo...
yung kaisa-isang motor industry natin na Francisco Motors hindi man lang binibigyan ng tulong and suporta ng gubyerno, puro flood control, roads and other infra pina-prioritized kasi...?
NOTE: Exclude Singapore sa stats na ito dahil alam naman natin gaano na ka-abante at kaunlad ang bansang yan

Southeast Asia’s automotive landscape is increasingly defined by a few key manufacturing hubs, with Thailand firmly at the top. Often dubbed the “Detroit of Asia,” Thailand hosts the widest range of global automakers, from Japanese giants like Toyota, Honda, Isuzu, and Mitsubishi to Western brands such as Ford, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, as well as rising Chinese EV players like BYD, GWM, MG, and Aion. This deep, diversified ecosystem makes Thailand the region’s most comprehensive car production base.
In second place is Indonesia, which has rapidly strengthened its position as both a conventional and electric vehicle manufacturing center. Alongside long-established players such as Toyota, Daihatsu, Honda, and Mitsubishi, Indonesia has attracted new investment from Chinese and EV-focused brands including Wuling, Chery, Aion, MG, and VinFast. Backed by its large domestic market and nickel-based battery ambitions, Indonesia is becoming a strategic pillar for the future of ASEAN’s auto industry.
Vietnam ranks third, standing out for its strong push toward national and EV-driven manufacturing. VinFast leads the country’s automotive identity, supported by production from Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Kia, and newer entrants like Skoda and Chery. While its overall scale is smaller than Thailand and Indonesia, Vietnam’s fast-growing capabilities signal a shift toward innovation-led manufacturing. Together, these top three countries form the backbone of ASEAN’s automotive production, shaping the region’s role in the global car industry.
