Yadea opens e-scooter plant in Thailand

Yadea, China’s leading two-wheeler maker, has opened a plant in Samut Prakan, Thailand, with plans to produce 600,000 e-scooters over three years. Its first model, the RS20, will launch at THB 41,900, about 30% below Honda’s mainline scooter. The move underscores intensifying Chinese-Japanese competition in Southeast Asia’s two-wheeler market.
