team! It is such a pleasant for all of us that our
first new issue (Oct/Nov 2012) received warm
welcome from our members and publics. By new
makeover, stylish looks, more features and richer of information,
in your hands is the second issue that will introduce you to know
more Automotive Navigator Magazine
This Master Plan 3 is accomplished by the collaboration form
government and private sectors with the same path of vision in
developing Thailand automotive industry as of year 2021: Thailand
will be the world manufacturing base with supply chain that
enhances domestics value added and environmental friendly
which have to be driven simultaneously and systematically. For
more details of the master plan (both Thai and English), please
visit our website at www.thaiauto.or.th.
During the past period, Thailand Automotive Institute (TAI)
was a part of many activities that supported and developed Thailand
automotive industry both directly and indirectly. The latest successful event was the Press conference of the achievement
preparation of Automotive Industry Master Plan 3 (Year 2012
2016) on November 30th, 2012. Dr. Witoon Simachokdee, the
Permanent secretary of Ministry of Industry (MOI), honorable
presided over this event at Choonhawan room, MOI.
Additionally, there are several hot issues that impact to
Thailand automotive industry; for example, escalating volume of
new car from the 1st time car buyer, tax redemption scheme and
increasing the minimum wage rate to 300 THB, so on. Many are
now questioning if these and some factors like Technology, Human
resource, Automotive development model and Growing of automotive
industry would be threats or effect to other sectors; for instance,
traffic jam, pollution or environment. You will find all answers from
this issue.

1. Thailand economys condition in the first 10

months of year 2012
The condition in Q3 of Thailands economy was grown 3%
compared to Q1 and Q2 which were 0.4% and 4.4%, respectively.
Due to the expansion of domestic demand; especially, household
spending, the Government expenditure and investment in
manufacturing, these were caused from development of
non-industrial section; particularly, agriculture, construction,
trading, hotel and restaurant. Nevertheless, the export and
manufacturing in industrial section were shrunk. In the conclusion,
the first 9 months of year 2012, Thailand economic expansion

was 2.6%. After seasonal adjustment, Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) in Q3 was rose 1.2% from Q2.

In October 2012, Thailands economy showed signs of
recovery from the global economic recession, noticeably, from
increasing figures of economic indicators comparing from previous
months; including, agriculture production index, industrial
manufacturing index, private sector consumption index, private
sector investment index as well as low base, causing major
economic indicators growth highly over the same period of last
year in both consumption and manufacturing. As details below:
1.1 Escalating in household consumption

The private sector consumption index in October 2012 rose
up to 9.2% compare with the same period of last year, according
to 5.2% increasing during Q3, which was a consequence of the
1st time car buyer tax rebate scheme along with confidence of
consumer to economic overview in October that went up to 68.1
from 67.5 of previous months. Thus, the first 10 months of year
2012, the private sector consumption index was increased 4.8%

According to the escalated of fuel, gas and oil in the world

price market and there are potentials of their running out within
the next few years. This shortage will affect to all sectors; especially,
In-land transportation, which use automotive as the primary tool.
I realize this issue and have changed my daily travelling behavior;
for instance, using more public transportations like BTS, MRT or
Bus instead of driving my own car. It saves me a lot and I can
manage my travelling time (in case of taking BTS or MRT).
However, if I get stuck in the traffic or on the rush, I can call the
service from motorcycle. It is quick and worry free for finding a
parking spot, which is sometimes hard to find and it is expensive;
especially in the center city.
Lets use more often with Public Transport Services

such as BTS
As benefits I mention above, lets use more public transportation
services! It is not only save your money but also save energy
consumption of Thailand. You may raise a question Sometimes
I must drive my car, how can I support the Nation for using less
fuel? Here are answers:

1. Select the right car for you

The bigger of engine is the more consumption of fuel. Size
of engine is up to capacity of piston displacement, which has
unit in cubic centimeter (cc.). However, to clarify the size of
engine is also depended on type of vehicle as well for example:
Passenger car with capacity of 1,500 cc. is a small engine. On
the other hand small truck and pickup are in small engine section
if they have capacity of 2,500 cc. Thus, you also have to consider
the purpose of your usage. If you have to load heavy cargo, you
should buy a truck with higher capacity.
Alternatively choosing the new high technology such as
Hybrid Electric Vehicle is an alternative to save energy because
its fuel consumption rate is only half of regular vehicle, which
saves your money. Nowadays Hybrid Electric Vehicle has been
imported for sale in Thailand, but the selling price is still high.
Thus, you have to consider in several aspects and pros-cons
before making decision.
2. Follow schedule of Routine Maintenance as

defined in manual booklet or recommendation from
mechanic for each model
Regular routing check as defined in the manual booklet is
important because the well maintained engine will remains in
good performance and normal rate of fuel consumption. It also
increases safety for you during driving. Here is a list of items
required check up.
Oil changed and filtered as defined period or specific
distance
There are several kinds of engine oil sale in the market:
Regular, Semi-synthetic and Fully synthetic, which have different
benefits caused from proportion of components. Each type has
different qualification; i.e., Lubricant, Condensing heat, Rustproof
and Rinsing.

For oil change, you should buy the certified and authentic
one from well-known institutes such as API, SAE, etc. The rules
for selecting the right choice of oil engine are depended on
several factors; for instance, purpose of use. You can ask for
advice from mechanic at the shop you are getting service. The
shop must have qualified equipment with standardized procedures
and does not replace recycled oil to your vehicle; including, oil
filtered should use the one with standard paper filter as well.
Dont forget to have oil changed and filtered as defined by
distance/period which differs by each oil type; for example, 5,000
km., 8,000 km., 10,000 km. or 3 months.
Selecting the right oil, getting oil changed and filtered as
recommended regularly will reduce friction force in the engine
and fuel consumption rate as well as extend engines operation
life longer.
Regular check air filter, clean and replace air filter are
all recommended
You have to check air filter regularly and clean it by using
high pressure air blower if it is dirty or replace the new one when
it is expired or very dirty. If you cannot examine it yourself, you
can bring your car to the shop to replace air filter as defined
distance or period from mechanics. More fuel used, if filter is
dirty.
Make sure coolant level in radiator is in the rage of
marked lines
Always check level of coolant in the radiator if it is in between
Min Max level, yet I recommend you to fill it up to the Max
level. If coolant is lessen, you may refill with a mixing of distilled
water and coolant in the proportion of 10:1 or as recommended
by manufacturer. Coolant has a function of reducing engine heat
during running; therefore, if it less than min level, the engine will
be overheated and caused damage. In contrast, if its level is
overflown (over Max level), the high pressure from boiled water
will push the radiator cap out and caused danger as well.
Inspect water level in battery
Regularly inspect water level in the battery if it is in defined
level. If it dries out, engine will not start. Oppositely, water level
is too high, it will be expanded after heated and acid in battery
will leak out which cause corrosion of other parts

Maintain air tire as stated in the manual booklet

Regular inspecting air tire as stated from manufacturer,
which is in the manual booklet or sticker on the edge of driver
door.
Under pressure air tire causes higher rate of fuel consumption.
Oppositely, high pressure air tire may cause explosive of tire and
uncomforted driving.
Inspect Fuel system
The leakage of fuel system may cause fuel wasting. To protect
this, here is simple thing you can do:
If you see wet stain of oil or odor of it, be suspicious. The
oil may leak from joint or tube connection, you must get your car
repaired as soon as possible.
Examine spark plug, routinely
Well maintained spark plug causes starting your car better.
After long period of use, there are wear and tear of temper tip.
Thus adjusting tip in the right position or replace the new spark
plug is recommended. Normally, replacing the new spark plug
should be done yearly or every 20,000 km.
Inspect rate of Revolution Per Minute (RPM)
If the RPM range is too high, higher fuel consumption rate
will be. The ideal RPM is the moment that engine runs smoothly
(average 800 rpm or as stated by manufacturer). If you notice
uncommon thing, you have to get your car to authorized shop or
contact customer service of the dealer you bought car from.
Examine Tread of Tire for any foreign objects
If you see any piece of glass, nail or any foreign objects,
you have to get rid of it. If air tire is under pressure, changing to
the spare tire is required. Then you go to tire shop to seal any
hole or leakage.

Habitually test all spare parts in case of emergency

Habitually test all spare parts if they are ready to use in
case of emergency such as reflector sheet for parking on the
road side, blinking flashlight, Tire changing kits with spare tire
and jumper cable.
In addition, levels of brake-clutch fluid, signal system,
gasoline and so on have to be inspected regularly. Even some
parts are not related to fuel consumption rate directly but there
are indirect benefits as well as confidence during steering your
car.
3. Planning before your journey

Before you travel, better to plan those directions to use the
shortest and nearest road or use least time in order to reduce
fuel consumption and save time of your travelling. Lets see what
we can do.
Having a map ready in your car.
Survey shortcuts or less traffic light/intersection roads.
Get information from friends, travel guide book or traffics radio
station such as JS 100 radio.
Avoid travel during the rush hour for example during
7.00 8.00 am. or 5.00 6.00 pm. or during office day hour for
expressway as well as truck allowing period which is during after
9.00 6.00 pm.
Clear unnecessary staff The more weight of your car,
the more fuel consumed
Use fuel with the right octane
Using higher octane than specific from manufacturer will
cost you more because more octane in fuel, more price of that
fuel. In contrast, using lower octane than specific, engine can
be knocked down and caused you a fortune.

4. Drive with care, habitually will less your cost

of fuel
If we have good driving technique, drive it habitually. You
wont pay more for fuel. If you follow these instructions:
Do not speed up your engine while driving off
Do not speed up your engine while driving off because
more fuel is consumed. Taking off at the right rate is the warm
up engine which is better than idle away in the traffic and save
more fuel.
Do not start the engine for a long period of time without
driving (idle away)
Starting your car without driving for a long period of time,
more fuel is consumed
Do not set your air conditioner temperature too low
Setting too low temperature needs more fuel to run. A couple
minutes before your arrival, you should turn off AC or flake.
If there is no AC, you should change the temperature control to
the far most red or OFF to cut the operating of compressor while
fan is still running. This is the way to free water out of Evaporator
before turning off the engine in order to protect decomposition
by rust, bad odor and extend life of AC.
Driving by the right rate
Driving too fast will consume more fuel. The average speed
will save your fuel is around 60 90 km./hr. or as recommended
by manufacturer
Remark : By laws, speed limited for car is defined not over
90 km/hr.
Technique shifting gears coherent to range of RPM
The stick shift car should be operated coherent to range
of RPM. You can get suggestion from accredited mechanic or
manufacturer. At high range of RPM, you should up-shift gear
from 1/2 to 3/4 and vice versa which will not waste fuel and loosing
horse power.
Do not step on Clutch all the time
Unnecessary step on clutch all the time will consume
more fuel

Regular Check any unusual thing of your car while driving

For example:
- Jerking of Engine is normally the beginning of wear
and tear
- Unsmooth of car running may be from unclean fuel filter
- Unable to speed up or emission of black smoke is
caused from dirty air filter as a result, it will consume more fuel
- Emission of black or white smoke is caused from
incomplete burning process which will consume more fuel as well
- Shaking, unusual odor is a sign to show there is
something gone wrong, if not get it repaired soon.
5. Should not modified car from the originate one

Such as extend tread from the standard, Wheels have to
carry more weight of car body when speeding up; the engine
has to run with higher normal rate, which consumes more fuel.
Moreover, adequate of resting and non-alcohol drinking
should be done before your journey. If you are asleep during
driving, you should find the nearest rest area for refreshing or
take a nap for a while before start driving. Follow all these
techniques, you will drive safely, spend less fuel and help energy
saving for nation as well.

In general, Internal Combustion Engine or ICE generates

most power to the vehicle, which consumes fuel in form of
either liquid or gas when combustion process i.e. thermal
energy occurs in engine chamber caused higher pressure to
move pistons converting into the mechanical energy that turns
the wheel. Conversely, Electric Vehicle or EV is operated by
using electric energy to operate the motor converting into the
mechanical energy. Without mention to Fuel Cell EV (FCEV)
here, there are 3 types of EV which are:
1. Hybrid EV (HEV) or hybrid vehicle. The engine operates
through ICE and motor that can regenerate wasted kinetic
and potential energies and transforms them into electric energy
via generator. This stored electric energy will be used to run
motor. In general, each manufacturer has designed different
degree of hybrid which provides different performances of
both engine and motor depended on the purpose of usage.
Anyway, HEV technology is the pioneer of blending between
electric motor and combustion engine which improve the fuel
economy, for example mid-size car will consume fuel
approximately 20-30 km/L. Toyota motors who has developed
HEV, called Prius since 1998 has been popular sold for all
last 10 years. Currently, HEV has more opportunities in Thai
market since there are a number of HEV from several
manufacturers in this market.

2. Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV) is similar to the HEV but it

can store and recharge the electric from the external electric
supply. There are 2 types: Extended Range EV (EREV) and
Blended PHEV. The EREV mainly uses electric energy for its
operation, whereas Blended PHEV is optimized to run both
energies. Thus, size and design of battery and engine as well
as driving distance of each type are different as shown in
figure 1. From existing market, here is a sample of comparison:
Volt invented by Chevrolet (see figure 2) is EREV and Prius
Plug-in from Toyota (see figure 3) which is the blended PHEV
and has been sold since 2012. This Prius Plug- in model is
developed from previous Prius model using Ni-MH battery
typed as the source of power with capacity of 1.3 kWh. For
new Prius Plug-in, the Li-ion battery with capacity of 5.2 kWh
has been replaced and it can run up to 20 km by the electric
motor. This driving distance is able to response to the total
average of day trip distance requirement in Japan up to 40%
(see figure 1). Conversely, the Volt is run by electric energy
for 64 km and fit the US consumers day trip distance requirement
up to 78%. It shows that PHEV is more practical in daily use
due to ability in driving longer distance and adequate of
electric charging stations.

3. Battery EV (BEV) is operated by using purely electric
energy storing in the battery from external electric supply.

Driving distance depends on motor and battery sizes that are
installed to replace the engine and fuel tank. Mostly Lithium
Ion (Li-ion) battery type is used in BEV that has high intensity
of energy approximately 120-180 Wh/kg. The small BEV
model (4-5 seats) is normally used 10-30 kWh and able to run
for 150-200 km per charge with highest speed rage 100-160
km /hr including 4-7 hours for normal charging or 15-30 min
for quick charging filled up to 80%. Mitsubishi motor introduced
the first BEV on July 2009 called i-MiEV, 4-door with 16 kWh.
It is interesting that Mitsubishi i-MiEV ran the EV test at extreme
temperature as shown in figure 4. In Japan the MSRP1 of
i-MiEV (exclude subsidy from the government) is about 3.98
M2 (approximately 1.47 MB3 ). Only in Japan market, the
government subsidizes 1.14 M/unit (or 0.42 MB) to every
buyer. Thus it costs only 2.84 M or 1 MB. i-MiEV was exported
to sale in Europe market on January 2011. Recently Mitsubishi
develops new model of BEV from car to mini-van for small
loaded (see figure 5). This model is called Minicab MiEV with
two options of capacity; 10.5 kWh Li-ion battery and 16 kWh
Li-ion battery. The MSRP price range is 1.7-2.05 M (or 0.6290.759 MB), buyer will pay less than MSRP due to subsidy from
the government 0.7-0.9 M (or 0.26-0.333 MB)
Nissan motor launched the new model of BEV called
LEAF for domestic sale and export to the US in the end of
year 2011. This model installs 24 kWh Li-ion battery (as shown
in figure 6) and uses IT technology for travel planning to
recharge the battery faster during travelling [3]. This diminishes
the weakness of BEV in distance of driving. Though, the price
range of BEV is higher than the normal vehicle with the same
capacity, it is clearly that the Japanese government supports
this EV industry as it is still risky for this pioneer stage of such
a new technology.

HEV has been being popularity in developed countries

for almost 10 years, while Thailand has just interested in HEV
technology due to the domestic production. On the other
hand, PHEV and BEV have been recently manufactured for
sale in developed countries for few years. Meanwhile, they
are demonstrated and promoted to be used in large cities,
which have abilities to reduce pollution and improve higher
efficiency of vehicle. Although, BEV does not emit pollution
from itself, we have to consider the pollution of generating
electric power as well. Between PHEV and BEV, most would
prefer PHEV because it is likely to be able to fulfill consumers
requirements in using electric energy, which has limitation in
battery technology and capacity of long distant driving, and
prolong driving distant by switching to engines operation.
Nevertheless, it is better that we closely follow up for any
progress of new EV technology development.

owadays, many related sectors have concerned

about controlling amount of pollution emerging in
the air, which affects to human being and life to live.
Controlling amount of pollution caused from automotive is one
of vital mechanisms that the government tries to implement to
support the campaign of Save the World along with regulations
of testing for the amount of toxic emission of each type of vehicles.
Additionally, the government also determines the standard of
OBD testing as an requirement as well.

OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostic. It is tracing and

checking if engine operates properly by computer circuit board
in minute by minute. In general, OBD needs to run along with
other parts and been called OBD system. The OBD system testing
will check the OBD system installed in the vehicle in terms of
capability and durability. In the simulated process, the vehicle
is tested with the defective component or device fitted, which
linked to the engine (simulation of malfunction), or using the
defective catalyst or electronic; for instance, defected by
combustion (simulation of deterioration). It examines capability
of Electronic Control Unit (ECU) system if it can find any unusual
of system. If ECU system operates properly, the light of engine
image on the instrument clusters will be shown. In addition, we
also able to use the Scan tool for testing the code or combination,
the figures read from ECU and Scan tool must match. Thus,
engine system and ECU must be able to control emission of
pollutant level not over the maximum limitation and under
restrictions.
The OBD family may be defined by basic design parameters
which shall be common to vehicles within the family. In some
cases, there may be interaction of parameters. These effects
shall also be taken into consideration to ensure that only vehicles
with similar exhaust emission characteristics are included within
an OBD family. Parameters of these vehicles, which are considered
to belong to the same engine/emission control/OBD system
combination, are described as following as
1. Engine
- Combustion
- Method of engine fuelling
- Type of fuel
2. Emission control system
- Type of catalytic converter

Methodologies of OBD system testing are as following as

Simulation of deterioration testing for positive-ignition
engine (Benzene engine)
1. Replacement of the catalyst with a deteriorated or
defective catalyst or electronic simulation of such a failure
(80,000 km)
2. Simulation of Engine misfire conditions
3. Replacement of Oxygen sensor with a deteriorated or
defective one
4. Simulation with wear and tear equipment and any other
emission-related component defective emission
55. Coherence of circuit and energy transferring equipment
which connected to computer and other measurement tools;
including, indicators that inspect operation of system
6. Electrical disconnection of the electronic evaporative
purge control device
Simulation of deterioration testing for of automobile

with compression-ignition engine (small diesel)
1. Simulation of deterioration of catalytic converter (80,000 km)
2. Total removal of particulate trap or, where sensors are
an integral part of the trap, a defective trap assembly
3. Electrical disconnection of any fuelling system electronic
fuel quantity and timing actuator
4. Electrical disconnection of any other emission-related
component connected to a power-train management computer
5. Due to the error caused by circuit, other emission-related
component or energy transferring device/system that connect to
computer, amount of exhaust emission is over the threshold
limited as shown in table below; for instance, system or part that
used for measurement and control air circulation in forms of
temperature, boost pressure and pressure in intake manifold
(along with other related parts)
* Remark - Simulation may cause Code of manufacturer;
therefore, manufacturer is required to inform this to staff of
testing center in advance.

It has been for a while that a number of automotive

manufacturers in Thailand have installed OBD in their product
lines; especially, luxury high price car for additional convenience
to their customers. However, throughout these years, there is no
required regulation to inspect the operation of OBD, particularly
emission. Until, there is requirement for all automobiles must pass
the standard of EURO 4, valid since January 1st, 2012. As a
consequence, standard of OBD system testing in the part of
emission of pollutants is emerged to according to the standard
of EURO 4 and benefit to consumers as well.

The current condition of Thailand automotive industry was
remarkable throughout past 50 years. In year 2012 our
production volume reaches 2 million cars, which takes only 7
years since we overcame the 1 million cars milestone in year
2005. Due to the governments policies that have supported the
industry and 2001 flooding crisis are caused manufacturers to
increase their production capacities to response and complete
consumersdemands. By 60% of total production is for domestic
sale and the other 40% is for export; excluded waiting list for
production. Thus, in fact, we are able to produce more than 2
million cars or 2.4 million cars at present. This industry contributes
nationals tremendous incomes, along with other related industries
such as auto part industry (generated income up to 800,000
MTHB1)
Assurance of foreign manufactures to Thailand automotive

industry
Although, during early stage of 2011 flooding crisis, many
foreign automotive manufacturers considered to move their
manufacturing bases to other countries, they changed their plans
at the end, since they realized the government of Thailand tried
hard to solve and relieve consequences from flooding crisis,
effectively and systemically. Along with other factors such as:
- Advanced technology of production
- Qualified and skilled manpower
- Lower rate of labor cost
- Inexpensive material
As a result, those manufacturers agreed not to move their
manufacturing bases to somewhere else. Moreover, some
Japanese operators have set up additional plants to support their
future increasing production.

Competitiveness in ASEAN, Thailand is ranked in 1st

manufacturing, follows by Indonesia and Malaysia, respectively.
This is because we have the policy to contribute escalating the
proportion of export up to 50% to maintain the position while
majority of automotive production in Malaysia is for domestics
since, it has huge domestics market.

Increasing the minimum wage rate up to 300 THB/day
would not directly affect to the industry because our based rate
is higher than the new rate and there are many who work in this
industry. On the other hand, this industry provides large amount
of income to the nation and enriches other related industries
along with urging more export. Thus, the government should use
law/regulation/policy that supports the industry in order to promote
Thailand as the Center Hub of manufacturing.

There are 2 Master plans which were prepared each 5
years apart as guidelines for automotive industry development
and by following those guidelines, we were able to accomplish
our objectives; for instance, being 1-ton pick-up manufacturing
base from using Master plan 1 and producing and delivering
Eco Car by implying Master plan 2. Now, the latest issue, Master
plan 3 for the period of 2012-2016 with the objective of planning
to drive automotive industry to reach the stated visions which are:
- Excellence in Research and Technology Development:To develop new technology and increase efficiency to automotive

- Excellence in Human Resources Development:more related course curriculum in university level to develop and
train skilled and unskilled workers; therefore, they will learn,
comprehend and perform tasks efficiently. At present, Thailand
automotive industry is facing with shortage in manpower because
most of foreign labors have moved back. Even, more machines
are used in production, knowledgeable and potential workers
are required for manipulating and controlling them.
- Entrepreneur Strength Enhancement:- Support auto part
manufacturers to improve manufacturing processes into excellence. There are over 10,000 existing operators that produce
auto parts and send to centers before delivering to local automotive assembling plants where they assemble all parts and export
them.
- Create good business environment via developing
infrastructures to accommodate 3 centers of excellence:- For
example Standard modern testing center. In Thailand, we use
using Euro 4 which is up to date and been used widely in Europe
while countries in Asia still exercise with Euro 2. We are planning
to have Euro 5 as our new standard in the future.
- Create good business environment via policy integration:is integrity among government agencies to consider and issue
rules, policies and measures that benefit and promote image of
Thailand automotive industry and create our brand value to be
well-known and acceptable as quality and international standard
products
In your opinion, does the growth of automotive industry

KDYHDQ\LPSDFWWRRWKHUVHFWRUV")RUH[DPSOH7UDIILFMDP
and Environment
Having higher ability to produce more cars is not caused
for chaos of traffics. The real cause is time mismanagement. The
government has solutions to solve this problem; for instance,
developing rail transportation system to relieve the situation.
Producing 2 million cars does not mean all those cars will be on
streets of Bangkok because some are exported to global markets.
In 2017, we expect to produce 3 million cars per year and increase
proportion of export to 50% of total production.
Hence, increasing capability of production will be benefit
to reduce our production costs and drive Thailand to be 1 of the
world largest top ten manufacturers, along with implementing
this Master plan 3, will conduce Thailand to be the greatest
center hub of automotive manufacturing in the world in year 2021.
At the end, I hope you are able to perceive the direction of
Thailand automotive industry through visionaries of Dr. Patima
Jeerapaet, the President of Thailand Automotive Institute.
Hope you all enjoy reading and do not forget to find out
who will be our new that guy and which topic of automotive and
auto part industry will be revealed and how. See you in the next
issue! Thank you.
