The Mazda 2 will be locally assembled in Vietnam from October 2011 in a newly constructed assembly plant in the Nui Thanh district of the Quang Nam province, with sales of the locally assembled cars to begin in the same month.
The assembly plant where the Mazda 2 will be assembled is owned by Vina Mazda Automobile Manufacturing Co, a 100% Vietnamese owned assembly and sales company with no capital ties to Mazda. The plant plans to produce 2,000 units o the Mazda 2 per annum. Mazda plans to assemble other models at the plant in the future with a target total annual production of about 10,000 cars.
This will be the first Mazda to be locally assembled in Vietnam since Vina Mazda started officially distributing the marque in Vietnam in March 2011. As usual, the reason for local assembly is to avoid high import tariffs.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
everywhere but in malaysia .
If you can work as cheaply as the Vietnamese & Thais, then go ahead.
but what…we get subaru, pug and VW…dont u remember….we cannot bolot all..how selfish malaysian..all they want and non for other
if u read carefully
“100% Vietnamese owned assembly and sales company with no capital ties to Mazda”
who can interpret the meaning?
Something like Proton making Inspira.
The different is Vietnamese able to use the original badge of Mazda.
M’sian must use the badge of Proton instead of Mitsubishi.
We have CKD Mazda 3, it’s just that the price is still on the high side…
So… they just a ‘CHEAP LABOUR’ to work for others.
Here we have our own local brand, fully design and built by our own countryman, with full of passion for the nation interest and economy.
Rather than having foreign brand assembly their car in our land, we have our own national car appear elsewhere around the earth. We must proud of what we having now until others manufacture afraid to set up their factory to lure away our money in our land.
Syabas Proton.
exactly what jaguh kg means…
You poor deluded soul…..
what we malaysian want…are we want to produce car for the world n to increase our eco? or we just want the car cheap as possible for us only?
Did i just see another financial lost for P1 couple day ago ? Yes i did !
With this type of mentality it going to be a long dark tunnel ahead.
Soon another lifeline fund from our EPF again.
U didn’t exactly fair on the expert financial assessment
The reports told why the significant reduction of profit
But this is expected from half ball like you
Appear elsewhere around the world?????? Wat a joke! Maybe in the metal recycling potong shop la
Obviously you have not been traveling dude, open up your mind!
Well, i did saw a Gen-2 taxi in Taipei…so i guess there’s some truth in it.
Proton cars are designed and built by our own countrymen???? Ha ha ha ha….
proton are sold around the world, that what he mean, i want proton to be success
Base yr Nick drMpower, i can assumed u r highly influenced by the “Great” Advisor.
1st of all why offcoz everybody know that huge fund been pump into that loss making Lotus, it was a dumb investment in the first place, or shall i said influenced by “bad advises”, selling niche market sports car in a glooming european market, which already oveflow with much better & wellknown sports car, not to mentioned fund been pump into F1 team which failed to score a single point.
No wonder the stock market analyser advise “to SELL” their share.
Now that no longer half truth isn’t it ?
so the Viet Mazda2’s only supply the Viet local market? Or it takes over Thai’s production as well?
KS, My guess is that, Vietnam produce Left hand drive version, Thailand produce Right hand drive version.
That’s why I said before, nobody can save them.
You can just hope and hope, argue and argue until the cows come home.
Vietnamese auto policy is identical with the Thai.
Want cheaper car price go for CKD.
I just don’t get it, when ever there is something called cheaper car or bla bla, the Proton topic just pop out from no where. Please la my fellow Malaysian, stop being emotional and let’s enjoy the world of motoring.
Dwelling too much on the negative side doe not help on our personal development. Would you be someone that is toxic or being cheerful? You decide :)
