hosted the event and added their heartiest best wishes to both the lady

Thailand awaits reply
from JBIC on loan request
The Thai government is still awaiting a reply from the Japan
Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) on its request for loans to finance
construction of two new electric train lines designed for easing traffic
congestion, said Finance Minister Chalongphob Sussangkarn last week.
Mr. Chalongphob said it is likely that the government would find lending sources
in the country to finance the construction of the red route of the electric
train lines from Taling Chan to Bang Sue.
The government has requested loans from JBIC to finance construction of the
purple route from Bang Yai in Nonthaburi province to Bang Sue and it is
anticipated that it would receive the reply this week, he said.
If JBIC declines to extend loans for the projects, then the government may have
to borrow from domestic financial institutions, possible now because of massive
liquidity in the local market, he said.
Other possible lending sources could be China, which has agreed to provide a
maximum loan of US$400 million to Thailand as well as from the World Bank and
the Asian Development Bank, Mr. Chalongphob added. (TNA)

The re-organised Sales & Marketing Department is now headed by its Director

NGV bus gets on board
for ANGVA 2007
Event organizers welcome the representatives of
Foton Bus Thailand to the ANGVA 2007 exhibition to be held 27-29 November in
Bangkok. Organizers of this month’s ANGVA
2007, a major conference and exhibition for the natural gas vehicle
industry, have welcomed the decision by Foton Bus Thailand Co., Ltd. to
launch their natural gas powered buses at the show and to become a key
sponsor at the event.
According to organizers, the Foton buses, manufactured in China, will
present increased opportunities for bus operators in Thailand and elsewhere
to have OEM natural gas buses in their fleets. The increasing availability
of OEM natural gas buses, such as those supplied by Foton, will lead to
cleaner air and improved public transport services for Thailand’s citizens,
and increased energy independence for the nation.
With ANGVA 2007 expected to attract as many as 1,000 conference delegates,
and 4,000 exhibition visitors from around the world, Foton are using this
event to launch their buses in Thailand, with other markets to follow. Foton
Bus Thailand is the first of a series of international subsidiaries being
set up to supply the buses to worldwide markets.
Conference organizers, NGV Network, say the move by Foton to make the buses
available in Thailand reflects the growing interest in natural gas vehicles
(NGVs) throughout the world.
“There are more than 7 million natural gas vehicles worldwide, and numbers
are increasing by more than 30% each year”, says Managing Director, Brett
Jarman. “Asian nations are becoming the world leaders, increasing NGV
numbers by an average 50% per year over the past 5 years.”
He said the sponsorship shows the seriousness of Foton’s commitment to
bringing their product to market and would position them as leaders in the
industry.
ANGVA 2007, to be held in Bangkok from 27-29 November, will be the 2nd
Asia-Pacific showcase for the latest technology and applications for the
region’s rapidly expanding development of Natural Gas Vehicles. The event is
hosted by the Thai Association for Natural Gas Vehicles (TANGV) and is
supported by the PTT Plc and the Asian Natural Gas Vehicle Association
(ANGVA) based in Malaysia.
