Moreover, the maintain a constant temperature at a certain value by products of PCM are made from bio-based materials which absorbing and releasing heat energy and changing the are eco-friendly. Therefore, the use of PCM as an energy state of matter from solid to liquid and from liquid to solid storage system that utilizes the properties of latent heat is by changes in temperature. Therefore, it can be used as a an efficient method. component to maintain temperature. The constant temperature transition properties of PCM offer tremendous advantages Renewable Energy Power Plants Renewable energy power plants generate electricity from solar and wind power for sale to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and the Provincial Electricity Authority. Currently, the group has four solar power plants with a total capacity of 278 megawatts and eight wind power plants with a total capacity of 386 megawatts. The company has opted for highly efficient machinery and equipment in the production of electricity from solar and wind energy. A single axis tracking system installed on two solar power plants with a total capacity of 180 megawatts helped generate an additional 20-25% of electricity production. Installation of an automatic solar panel cleaning device that allows the solar panels to be cleaned on a daily basis enables the efficient generation of electricity. Class 3 wind turbines were selected for the wind power plant, which are suitable for the wind conditions in Thailand with relatively low wind speeds. This includes the design and installation of wind turbines at higher altitudes than general wind turbines. TSAE Automotive Handbook and Directory 2021 - 2022 53

Energy Absolute: Energy for the Future from Green Energy to E-Mobility “Mission No Emission” Lithium-ion Batteries According to renewable energy generation, the amount of electricity generated depends on sunlight and wind, which are highly variable over a given period of time. Therefore, it is not feasible to produce electricity continuously. The company has therefore expanded its business into energy storage systems, and lithium-ion batteries are used to store electrical energy generated from renewable sources. This move benefits both the company’s business and the general renewable energy and electric vehicle manufacturing industries. It has jointly invested in AMITA Technologies Inc. (AMITA -Taiwan), a specialist with more than 20 years of experience in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries used for energy storage systems and electric vehicles from Taiwan to expand and enhance the business competitiveness of the Group, while adhering to environmentally friendly business policies. In addition, the company has established a subsidiary - Amita Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. to conduct research and development business, and set up a factory to produce and sell lithium-ion batteries in Thailand with an initial capacity of 1 GWh. The lithium-ion battery factory in Thailand is expected to start commercial operations around the fourth quarter of 2021.

They can also pay one by one and only after completion and inspection will they issue the billing and pay according to the billing cycle. This business practice is generally observed throughout Thailand and there are suppliers all over the country who offer these products and services to car dealers. The sources of these products include both domestic and imports, the majority of which come from China. Chinese products are cheaper than locally-made ones but with a number of quality issues. Quality assurance on many Chinese-made products is not quite acceptable among Thai consumers when compared to Thai-made products which are more neatly produced and possess a superior quality. However, importers have continued to adjust Chinese-made products to approximate the Thai market preferences and thus gaining wider acceptability from local customers. Due to intense competition, consumers are increasingly looking for cheaper products with satisfactory quality. Chinese-made products are forecasted to gain a significant larger market share in the next 3-5 years. Thai-made products will lose it competitiveness against Chinese-made goods in the future due to their disadvantage on the economies of scale. Skirt and Spoiler The car business may be changed dramatically in the future because Skirt and spoiler are popular car electric vehicles are expected to take more market share.

Moreover, EVs customers have to pay an extra for have a low maintenance cost, thus service centers’ revenues will decrease. these items since they are expensive. When the margin comes down to an extreme, dealers won’t have sufficient income to recoup their investment and pay for expenses such as rental fees, utility bills and staff salaries. An important benchmark is the comparison of their profit margins to their real estate values. Therefore, to survive and thrive in the future, car dealers will have to downsize their business, service areas, workforce, utilizing more technology to boost speed and efficiency, and being able to promptly respond to the needs of consumers. ☼☼☼ 70 TSAE Automotive Handbook and Directory 2021 - 2022

ADVERTORIAL The Starting Point of AirLumba Twenty years ago, Mr.Thongchai Limpaitoon, President of Srithai Auto Seats Industry Co.,Ltd., was suffering from an excruciating back pain which ran down his legs and forced him to walk with a limp. This was caused by the long drives he took almost daily all over the country. Fortunately, he met an American chiropractor who introduced him to a medical technology for rehabilitating post-operation patients.The technology worked wonder for Mr. Thongchai and he has fully recovered the use of his back. He can still drive around with his family as usual and never has to be operated on or suffered from back pain again. The technology is called Continuous Passive Motion and Mr. Thongchai feels he should share it with others so everybody can have an opportunity for a healthy back. He worked on the technology with teams of medical doctors and researchers as well as leading engineers. The team was able to develop the Air Motion Technology, the world’s first integration of health and automotive know-hows which is guaranteed to be safe for users. And this is how AirLumba originated.

ADVERTORIAL Why is AirLumba designed for the health of your back? I Got Your Back. Our body is not designed to remain still and static. It requires constant movements, without which the body starts to complain with muscular aches and joint pains. This is how our body tells us to move the parts which are suffering. With just slight movements, the body will become more relaxed.This is because “movements” are a natural mechanism which minimizes, heals and prevents physical discomfort which occurs at a particular area on the body. As a producer of automobile seats, AirLumba is aware of this important natural phenomenon and makes it a major emphasis in the design of its products, carefully worked on by a team of spine specialists and ergonomic engineers, to make sure that the spine is protected. For sustainable physical health of automobile driver and passengers, all steps in the designing process must be taken with thorough attention to the customers’ health, safety and comfort. AirLumba’s aim is always to offer the best seating comfort to drivers and passengers.

AirLumba Makes a Difference. Spine health products are usually designed first and foremost on the ergonomic principles. Products by AirLumba are different.They are produced with the principles of Dynamic Design. The seats are designed to learn and memorize the drivers’ and passengers’ postures which are appropriate for the muscle and spine movements, allowing for the development of correct seating habit and continuous movements. The Dynamic Design enables the body to move with ease. This is not to mention the fact that materials for automobile seats by AirLumba are in accordance with all automobile standards. They are inflammable, non-toxic to humans and the environment, safe at all temperatures and also safe from causing injuries during accidents. The seats have been tested and proven that they do not interfere with the drivers’ concentration. The driving comfort experienced by the drivers will not make them drowsy either because their back muscles and spine can move in a natural manner.







Now it’s here! “Lithium-ion Battery” A Clean Battery for Conserving the Environment Contributed by: Lithium-ion battery has been widely Mr. Chanyut Chayawattana recognized as a clean- Director & Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Technical) energy battery. It was invented to replace the traditional Amita Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. lead-acid battery and to serve the needs of the electric vehicle (EV) industry as well as the energy storage system (ESS) for electric energy industry, which is a novel global trend. It is recognized today as the best energy storage source, with a long life and a light weight. In addition, Thailand is going to have the largest lithium-ion battery factory in the ASEAN region. Energy Absolute Plc (EA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Bluetech City Industrial Estate TSAE Automotive Handbook and Directory 2021 - 2022 77

Its mission is to Bangpakong, Chachoengsao province, when needed. Hence, the firm had innovate a new type of battery which which is situated in the Eastern Economic looked for energy storage technology is environmentally friendly. The factory Corridor (EEC).

The company can Mr. Chanyut Chayawattana, Director & for EVs and Energy Storage System manufacture products that are welcomed Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Technical), by consumers and is thus becoming a Amita Technology (Thailand) Co. Ltd. leader in lithium-ion battery in Taiwan. pointed out that Thailand’s first lithium- ion battery factory originated from EA, “Since the company has been in which started as a renewable energy the field for more than 20 years, its plant producing biodiesel (B100), glycerin products are regarded as having high and other by-products plant located quality, being sold to a number of devices in Prachinburi, prior to diversifying to that use lithium-ion battery. However, solar farms power generation industry it was operating on a small scale, thus with plants in Lopburi, Nakhon Sawan, we have up-scaled it in Thailand, in Lampang, Pitsanulok at a total of order to serve other Southeast Asian 278 MW power generation capacity, markets.

Now it’s here! “Lithium-ion Battery” A Clean Battery for Conserving the Environment EVs Support Growth Although EA’s initial intention was to bring the lithium-ion battery for storing energy for its own business as well as the renewable energy industry in general, the growth of EVs has resulted in a significant rise in demand for lithium-ion battery, which has become a new trend that perfectly fits in with the green movement. “The EVs industry is going to going to set up the lithium-ion battery charging capability, and safety.

Who will grow support the entire supply chain, treating Mr. Chanyut admitted that lithium-ion depends on the quality of their battery, battery prices were expensive in the prices, usage time, storage capacity, past but as demand has risen, prices have continuously fallen. In the future, its unit cost will be lower than lead-acid battery and its storage capacity will be larger, which means longer usage time. More importantly, lithium-ion battery is a clean battery. Its production process is pollution-free because the electrolyte is inside. Therefore, it has increasingly gained popularity. In the past, when speaking of battery, most people would think about lead- acid battery. But lithium-ion is smaller. Previously, it was popularized in smart phone and computer laptop industries. Therefore, it is different both in form and characteristics. At first when we were TSAE Automotive Handbook and Directory 2021 - 2022 79
