This morning (September 14), Mr. Cao Tuong Huy - Chairman of Quang Ninh Provincial People's Committee - inspected the progress of Thanh Cong Viet Hung Automobile Factory project (belonging to Thanh Cong Group) at Viet Hung Industrial Park, Ha Long City.
Thanh Cong Viet Hung Automobile Factory, built on an area of 36.5 hectares; capacity of 120,000 vehicles/year; designed as a place to produce and assemble Skoda brand cars under the investment cooperation program of the leading Czech automobile company with Thanh Cong Group.
After 2 years of construction, the main items of the factory are basically completed, including: Welding, painting, assembly, electromechanical workshop systems and auxiliary works such as LPG stations, compressed air stations, test tracks, etc. The quality control functional areas have completed the test run in early May 2024. For equipment items, construction has reached over 90% of the total volume and will be completed next October to move to the trial operation phase and will officially produce the first batches of cars at the end of 2024, supplying the market in 2025.
According to the plan, in the first phase of operation, the factory will assemble SUV and B-class Sedan segments suitable for the current tastes and consumption trends of Vietnamese people. In the next phase, it will expand to environmentally friendly electric vehicles. This is also the first automobile factory project in Quang Ninh, one of the new processing and manufacturing industrial products of the province.
This is not only a premise for implementing the policy of attracting automobile industry projects using modern, smart, and environmentally friendly technology to the province, but also a positive lever to attract and gather many businesses in the auto support industry, manufacturing components and spare parts, especially those with high technology content.
This will create products with high added value, contribute greatly to the state budget, create jobs for thousands of workers, develop the local economy in a sustainable direction, in line with the Government's orientation in the goal of increasing the localization rate and increasing autonomy in automobile production in Vietnam.
To ensure the progress of the project, Mr. Cao Tuong Huy requested the sectors and localities to continue to accompany and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles. In particular, Ha Long City was requested to quickly complete the planning of subdivisions No. 6 and 13. On that basis, the investor will implement the next steps such as investing in workers' housing, 220kV power lines and 110kV transformer stations, etc.
Relevant departments and branches continue to support and remove difficulties in land resources so that the investor can continue to promote the implementation of Thanh Cong Viet Hung Automobile and Supporting Industry Complex; implement the project to renovate and expand Road 279 so that the factory can operate smoothly and safely.
Quang Ninh will continue to accompany and promptly report to the Government and the Ministry of Planning and Investment so that the Complex can enjoy preferential policies such as High-Tech Parks or Economic Zones to create attractiveness and enhance competitiveness when the factory comes into operation.
