In June 2024, THACO AUTO produced and brought painted body kits and Kia New Carnival model car components to the Indian market for production and testing. The products met the requirements of technology, standards, and quality, and were highly appreciated by Kia India partners.
The Kia New Carnival body kit and components are manufactured at the leading automobile assembly and manufacturing center in Southeast Asia. With modern production lines and equipment transferred from Kia Group (Korea), THACO KIA products meet Kia's strict global technical standards. In particular, the color painting line uses advanced "wet on wet" painting technology with an automatic paint supply system, helping the body paint surface to be sturdy, increasing the ability to resist scratches and acid corrosion during use. The body structure is strictly calculated and tested by the vehicle body accuracy testing system (3D CMM).
