Over 10,000 EVs are now officially registered in Cambodia As of September 2025, Cambodia has registered 10,568 electric vehicles, including 7,187 cars, 671 tricycles, and 2,710 motorcycles. The trend of EV vehicles has significantly increased in the first eight months of 2025, with 5,571 registered. The Ministry of Public Works and Transport is considering adding additional markings to license plates for cars, tricycles, and motorcycles, which could take shape in 2026. The Royal Government of Cambodia has launched a national policy on the development of the electric vehicle sector for 2024-2030, aiming to promote the use of over 770,000 electric vehicles by 2030. Specific targets include registering 30,000 electric cars, 720,000 electric motorcycles, and 20,000 electric tricycles. The Royal Government has provided special incentives to importers of electric cars and motorcycles by reducing import duties by 50%. The Ministry of Economy and Finance has also adjusted and reduced the tax rate on means of transport for electric vehicles, tourist vehicles, small 4-door trucks, and passenger cars to promote the growth of electric vehicles in Cambodia.

Cambodia-China trade surges 27% to a record $14 billion In the first nine months of 2025, bilateral trade between Cambodia and China reached $14.2 billion, a 27% increase from the previous year. However, Cambodian exports to China declined by 7.7% to $1.18 billion, while imports from China surged by 32% to $13.02 billion. This trade imbalance is a structural issue rather than short-term fluctuations. To address this, Cambodia needs to strengthen its domestic production base and enhance export strategies. Two main strategies are developing its own raw material production plants to reduce imports and identifying high-potential Cambodian products for export to China. Cambodia's trade and investment relationship with China continues to grow, with China becoming the dominant source of foreign investment in the first nine months of 2025. (Source: Khmer Times)
