Economy and Industry

Investors urged to set up EV assembly plants Even as some companies are planning to install EV charging stations across the country, the Minister of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) has urged investors in the private sector to invest in the establishment of electrical vehicle assembly plants, said a release by the ministry earlier this week. Inaugurating a ceremony to launch an EV charging station at the ministry complex, Minister of MPWT Sun Chanthol said that Cambodia is set to allow its residents to use electrical cars at least 40% and electrical motorcycles at least 70% in 2050, while eight EV charging stations have currently been installed in the country. Chanthol added that the BYD Auto Industry--EV automobile producer--plans to install 200 EV charging stations countrywide in 2023 to join hands with the government to encourage people to start using EV vehicles without concerns about where to charge electricity to their vehicles when they travel any of the 25 cities and provinces. The government also has asked private gasoline stations to install the facility. The minister also said that EV cars consist of over 2,000 spare parts--10 times less than those of fuel engine cars, which would help users of EV cars reduce maintenance costs compared to those who use the latter and spend about $60 to cover 400 km--three times more than EV car used with electricity that costs about $20 for the same distance.

CRF says Cambodia wins case against EU revocation of rice tariff preferences The Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) said that Cambodia has won the case against the EU decision to withdraw tariff preferences for the import of rice from the country. The case was filed on April 10, 2019 by the CRF against the decision to impost import duty on long grain rice from Cambodia to the EU market. On Nov 9, 2022, the General Court found that the imposition of duties was illegal and violated key substantive and procedural rules.
