In a significant development for Cambodia’s automotive industry, China’s Infinite Capital Holding Company (ICAP) has unveiled ambitions to invest in the manufacture of electric vehicle components in the country. The announcement was made during a meeting on 17 February 2025 between Prime Minister Hun Manet and ICAP’s Chairman and CEO, Zhang Chaomin.

During this pivotal discussion, CEO Zhang outlined the company’s strategic focus on clean energy vehicles, emphasizing plans to produce essential components that support the growing demand for electric vehicles.

Prime Minister Hun Sen expressed strong support for ICAP’s plans, highlighting Cambodia’s potential as a hub for investment in the automotive sector. He underscored the importance of attracting companies keen on developing manufacturing capabilities for automotive components and establishing robust supply chains for both domestic and international markets.

This initiative marks a significant step towards positioning Cambodia as a key player in the clean energy vehicle market, further strengthening the country’s manufacturing prowess and its commitment to sustainable development.
