Export units prepared in Shanghai for the Southeast Asia market

Markets

Southeast Asia

Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines — mixed LHD and RHD, strong EV policy support.

Countries servedThailand · Malaysia · Vietnam · Philippines · Indonesia · Cambodia
Steering configurationMixed — RHD in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia; LHD in Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia
Compliance focusRHD supply, EV incentive schemes, ride-hail and fleet demand

What makes this market difficult

The region splits on steering position, and the RHD half is exactly where most Chinese domestic stock cannot go without conversion. Several governments run EV incentive schemes that reward the right specification and penalise the wrong one.

What we ship here

Factory RHD Zeekr X for Malaysia and Thailand, converted Geely and BYD units where no factory RHD exists, Leapmotor C10 for price-led retail.

02

Destination EV incentive schemes checked against the specification before ordering

Questions

The things buyers ask first

What is the lead time to Southeast Asia?

18 to 35 days from confirmed order to departure, plus the sailing time to your discharge port. A unit needing full steering conversion sits at the longer end of that window.

Which steering configuration do I need for Southeast Asia?

Mixed — RHD in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia; LHD in Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. Where a factory-built variant exists in that configuration we source it rather than converting, because a factory build is cheaper, faster and less exposed at destination inspection.

Can you handle certification for Southeast Asia?

We identify the certification pathway during quoting, before the unit is allocated. RHD supply, EV incentive schemes, ride-hail and fleet demand is the compliance focus for this destination. Where a model has no viable route into your market, we say so rather than shipping it.
