BANGKOK, 21 February 2013 The Science Ministry is determined to work hard and fast in developing the country’s auto parts industry through new technologies. 

Minister of Science and Technology Woravat Au-apinyakul revealed that the Science Ministry is working hard to push for the adoption of new technologies and innovations, derived from rigorous R&D efforts, into the improvement of the auto parts industry.

Mr. Woravat added that ministry will also be setting up a new national technology briefing center to promote the designing, the manufacturing and the engineering of auto parts, which is hoped to help Thailand succeed in building an alternative fuel-powered truck for agricultural uses.

The Science Minister said that most trucks used in the agricultural sector were assembled from second-hand parts, imported from abroad, and were usually unsafe.

He hopes that a successful truck design and production will benefit the agricultural sector greatly while the innovation can be exported to earn more income for Thailand.
