Trend-en

Thailand registers a large number of vehicles each year. The Department of Land Transport publishes monthly and five-year historical vehicle registration data, reflecting the popularity of various brands and models as well as trends in the sedan and pickup truck markets. Monitoring this data provides a clear overview of the country’s automotive industry status. In Thailand’s automotive market, Toyota and Honda continue to dominate as leading brands. The Toyota Yaris Cross and Honda City are prime examples of the most popular models. According to vehicle registration data from 2023–2024, the Toyota Yaris Cross recorded a total of 25,671 registrations in 2024, while the Honda City reached 14,462 registrations. This reflects strong consumer preference for mid-sized cars that offer both practicality and economic value. The Honda City, one of the most popular urban cars, has shown significant growth since early 2023. In August 2024, it recorded 1,310 new registrations. Similarly, the Toyota Corolla Cross saw an increase in registrations, with 1,522 units registered in January 2024. The growth of these two models highlights consumer trust in these leading automotive brands. Beyond their strong performance, both models cater to consumers seeking fuel-efficient vehicles capable of handling various road conditions, both in urban and rural areas. This consistent growth has allowed the Toyota Corolla Cross and Honda City to maintain a solid market share in 2024. Looking back over the past five years, sedan registrations in Thailand have shown a slight decline, while pickup trucks have continued to grow steadily. Brands that have experienced significant sales growth during this period include Mitsubishi and Mazda, with popular models such as the Mitsubishi Triton and Mazda 2 gaining increased consumer interest. Beyond economic factors, the introduction of new models—particularly electric vehicles from brands like Tesla and MG—has contributed to shifts in registration trends. Over the past year, EV registrations have seen continuous growth. Closely monitoring vehicle registration data provides valuable insights into automotive market trends. Whether you are considering purchasing a new car or working in the industry, analyzing both historical and current data can support effective decision-making and planning.  ___________________________________ Place an order/Become a distributor.

Strategies to Reduce Transportation and Logistics Costs Reducing transportation costs in logistics is a key goal for businesses involved in transportation and goods management. Effective cost management will help increase profits and enable competitiveness in the market. Today, we will discuss ways to reduce transportation costs that can help your business save expenses. 1. Choosing Efficient Routes Choosing the best and most efficient routes is an important method for reducing transportation costs. Using GPS technology and modern navigation systems can help drivers select the shortest and fastest routes, which will reduce fuel consumption and the time spent on transportation. 2. Continuous Truck Maintenance Regular maintenance of trucks helps reduce wear and tear on parts, which in turn lowers the risk of accidents and transportation disruptions. Using high-quality parts ensures that your trucks operate efficiently and remain durable over time. 3. Load and Weight Management Proper load and weight management helps reduce fuel consumption and the risk of accidents. Using lighter trucks and distributing weight evenly can significantly lower transportation costs. 4. Using Technology for Tracking and Management Utilizing transportation tracking and management systems, such as GPS and RFID, allows businesses to monitor shipment status in real-time. This enables quick and efficient adjustments to transportation plans, which helps reduce costs and improve transportation efficiency. 5. Training and Developing Personnel Training and developing employees with knowledge and skills in effective driving can help reduce fuel consumption and truck wear. Additionally, having skilled staff in transportation management and planning will enhance efficiency and reduce operational costs. 6. Choosing High-Quality Spare Parts Opting for high-quality spare parts ensures that your truck operates efficiently, reduces wear and tear, and lowers the risk of transportation disruptions.

Check Your Car Before the Rainy Season Things Drivers Must Know 1. Windshield Wipers: If they are not cleaning properly, make loud noises, or skip while wiping, it’s a sign that the wiper blades are worn out. Replace them immediately. 2. Brake System: If you hear abnormal noises when applying the brakes or if you need to press the brake pedal deeper than usual, it indicates that the brake pads are wearing out. Replace them promptly for safety when driving on slippery roads. 3. Car Tires: If the tire tread depth is lower than the minimum requirement or less than 3 mm, consider replacing the tires to ensure good traction on wet roads. 4. Tire Pressure: If you haven’t inflated the tires in over a month or if you feel a decrease in acceleration response, it signals that the tire pressure is low. Inflate the tires to the recommended level or slightly higher than normal to improve tire rigidity and water drainage. 5. Lighting Signals: Check the headlights, taillights, turn signals, and fog lights. If any lights are not working or are flickering frequently, it indicates a faulty bulb. Replace the bulb immediately to improve visibility while driving, especially in rainy conditions. Accidents can happen anywhere, especially when driving in the rainy season. You may encounter heavy rain and slippery roads, so drivers must be extra cautious and remember to inspect their cars before driving every time. This helps prevent accidents that could occur. ___________________________________ Place an order/Become a distributor.

The Cabinet has approved the exemption of customs fees for transit goods for seven types of trucks, ranging from 300 to 500 baht The Cabinet has approved the draft ministerial regulation exempting customs service fees for transit under Section 102 of the Customs Act B.E. 2560 on July 9, 2024. The exemption aims to enhance logistics management efficiency and support trade and investment both domestically and regionally. Details of the Customs Fee Exemption The fee exemption covers seven types of freight trucks as follows Pickup trucks (previous fee: 300 THB/unit) Cargo vans (previous fee: 300 THB/unit) Trucks (previous fee: 300 THB/unit) Trailers (previous fee: 500 THB/unit) Semi-trailers (previous fee: 500 THB/unit) Long-material semi-trailers (previous fee: 500 THB/unit) Tow trucks (previous fee: 500 THB/unit) Fee Collection Report The Ministry of Finance, through the Customs Department, has reported the collection of customs service fees related to transit operations for the fiscal years 2022-2024 as follows: Fiscal Year 2022: 64 million baht Fiscal Year 2023: 68 million baht Fiscal Year 2024: 41 million baht Total: 175 million baht This fee exemption will result in a loss of revenue for the government in this area but is expected to stimulate trade and investment in the long term. The draft ministerial regulation will be sent to the Office of the Council of State for review before it is officially enforced. Operators and stakeholders should closely monitor progress to prepare for this change. The exemption of customs fees for transit goods is another key measure that will enhance Thailand’s logistics competitiveness and support its role as a regional trade hub in ASEAN. รวมกลยุทธ์ลดต้นทุนการขนส่ง โลจิสติกส์ Cr.สมาคมชิปปิ้งแห่งประเทศไทย ___________________________________ Place an order/Become a distributor.
