LIUZHOU, China and GUILIN, China, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From October 26 to

Exploration Journey, inviting core Thai dealers, sub-dealers, and media representatives

Thailand is a core right-hand drive market for DFLZM’s ASEAN strategy. In March 
2026, FORTHING officially launched its brand in Bangkok, introducing the new energy
SUV FRIDAY, marking the shift from product export to brand localization. Over the
next three years, DFLZM plans to build at least 100 sales and service outlets in
Thailand with Thai partners and gradually introduce eight right-hand drive new energy
models, striving to build the second 10,000-unit market in ASEAN.

During the homecoming visit, Thai customers toured FORTHING’s passenger vehicle 
smart factory, observing the full manufacturing process and experiencing the quality
control of lean vehicle production. At DFLZM’s proving ground, three main new energy
models—the TK5 EV, TK5 PHEV, and TK7 EV—were on display. Thai dealers and sub-dealers
test-drove the vehicles, experiencing FORTHING’s driving quality and intelligent
features firsthand.

During the closed-door session, both sides held in-depth discussions covering Thai
consumer demand, channel development, and service network layout, reaching consensus
on future product introduction and market expansion.

Between business sessions, Thai customers took a night cruise along the Liu River,
enjoying the night charm of industrial Liuzhou. They then visited Yangshuo, cruising
the Li River and watching the Guilin Songcheng Show—experiencing Chinese culture
amid the landscape.

From Bangkok to Liuzhou, from product export to brand localization, this far-reaching
homecoming journey is both a continuation of friendship and a new starting point
for FORTHING to deepen its presence in Thailand and win-win cooperation with partners
across ASEAN. Looking ahead, FORTHING will continue to work side by side with Thai
partners, bringing more competitive new energy products and improved service systems
to the Thai market, and injecting new momentum into China-Thailand automotive cooperation.
