The National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, has advanced Thailand’s electric vehicle ecosystem through strategic collaboration with international automotive and technology partners. The initiative focuses on enhancing national research infrastructure and technical readiness by integrating advanced electric drive system technology into Thailand’s public R&D framework, reinforcing the government’s role in supporting high-impact industrial innovation and future mobility development.
The transfer of electric drive system technology marks a significant step in upgrading Thailand’s EV testing and certification capabilities, particularly through the application of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation technology. This approach enables comprehensive testing of critical EV components, including battery management and motor control systems, under realistic operating conditions. By expanding these capabilities to full electric drive assemblies, NSTDA is strengthening national standards, reducing reliance on overseas testing, and improving the competitiveness of Thailand’s EV industry within global supply chains.
NSTDA plans to utilize the technology as a core research asset and a practical training platform for engineers, researchers, and local manufacturers. Through knowledge transfer, workforce development, and support for local content creation, the initiative aims to elevate domestic technological capabilities and foster innovation-led growth. This effort aligns with national policies to promote next-generation automotive industries and supports Thailand’s long-term goal of becoming a regional center for electric vehicle production, testing, and innovation in ASEAN.
