Thailand plans new incentives for hybrid automakers in a bid to attract at least 50 billion baht ($1.4 billion) of new investment over the next four years.

Manufacturers of hybrid cars — which have both electric and internal combustion engines — will pay lower excise tax rates between 2028 and 2032 if they meet specific criteria, Narit Therdsteerasukdi, secretary of the National Electric Vehicle Policy Committee, told reporters Friday.
