German luxury car-maker Mercedes-Benz ,Thailand has finally decided to join the government’s electric vehicle (EV) scheme after staying on the sidelines for five years. But the company has not disclosed any further details, saying it plans to launch new models under the EV scheme sometime in 2018.
President and chief executive Michael Grewe said the company has applied to the Board of Investment (BoI) for two platforms – plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The application deadline for both is Dec 28.
“Mercedes-Benz is talking with government agencies and expects to finalise its plan very soon, so I cannot reveal an investment budget or future PHEV and BEV models,” he said.
