Each Kia and Mazda assembly line at Truong Hai produces an average of about 100 vehicles per day. The localization rate is increasing, with components such as wiring harnesses, seats, and exhaust pipes being manufactured in-house.
 |
| Truong Hai's automobile manufacturing and assembly complex in Chu Lai (Quang Nam) covers a total area of 650 hectares, including 6 automobile manufacturing and assembly plants and 12 component and spare parts factories. Interspersed among the workshops are rows of finished Kia, Mazda, trucks, and buses, arranged in long, straight lines. |
 |
| Among the Kia and Mazda models officially sold in the market, popular models such as the Kia Morning, Kia Cerato, Mazda 3, and Mazda CX-5 are all assembled at the Thaco Kia and Vina Mazda factories in Chu Lai. |
 |
| Compared to Thaco's truck and bus lines, passenger cars currently have a lower localization rate, at around 20%. |
 |
| The vehicle frames are imported separately from abroad and then processed at the welding workshop before being painted in various colors. |
 |
| Currently, each assembly line for Kia and Mazda vehicles at Truong Hai has an average capacity of over 100 cars per day. Some stages, such as floor covering, wiring harness installation, rubber gasket installation, and plastic bumper attachment, are performed by workers. |
 |
| Lifting systems are involved in the assembly of engines, drivetrains, and suspension systems of vehicles. |
 |
| Components such as generators, drive shafts, seats, and doors are placed nearby so that workers can easily pick them up and assemble them. |
 |
| In the final stages of completion, technicians will use computer-aided control software to detect and clear electronic errors. |
 |
| Water was sprayed onto the vehicles to test their ability to resist leaks and water penetration. |
 |
| Workers inspect and install the mudguards before completing the project. |
 |
| Before leaving the factory, Kia and Mazda models undergo thorough checks of their braking systems, wheel alignment, emission standards, and real-world driving tests in a dedicated testing area within the factory grounds. |
 |
| Alongside its six automobile manufacturing and assembly plants, Truong Hai has 12 component and spare parts factories to increase the localization rate across its vehicle lines. The mechanical factory, equipped with welding robots and electrostatic painting lines, produces components such as truck frames, truck bodies, and seat frames. |
 |
| Exhaust systems for passenger cars are also manufactured at this factory. |
 |
| The automotive electrical parts factory, with a capacity of 50,000 sets of products per year, supplies wiring systems for Kia passenger cars, buses, and trucks. |
 |
| The sewing workshop at the Autocom chair manufacturing plant employs many female workers. |
 |
| The workers will sew seat covers for passenger cars, buses, trucks, bus reclining seats, or truck bed tarpaulins. |
 |
| To streamline operations and address transportation challenges, Truong Hai has invested in building Chu Lai port and acquiring its own ships to transport raw materials and finished products for the company and its partners. |
