ASEAN splits by steering side, and it is the one region where the UNI-V iDD outsells the petrol cars because several countries give plug-in hybrids a large import-duty and excise advantage.
This is the one region where we lead with the plug-in hybrid. Several ASEAN states classify a PHEV as a new-energy vehicle and apply materially lower import duty and excise than to an equivalent petrol car, and where that relief exists the UNI-V iDD can land cheaper than the 1.5T despite its higher FOB. The fuel saving then becomes pure upside. Tell us the destination and we will check the current classification before you commit — these schedules change with each budget.
Transit is short. Guangzhou to Haiphong is 8 to 16 days, which is the second-fastest routing in our network after Jebel Ali. Ship the iDD containerised: most Ro-Ro operators surcharge or refuse traction batteries, and the UN38.3 transport documentation that comes with the pack pushes lead time to 35-45 days regardless.
Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia are right-hand drive and are served from Changan Rayong rather than Chongqing. Thailand is Rayong’s home market, so it is the one right-hand-drive destination where availability is not the constraint.
Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines and Myanmar are LHD; Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia are RHD and must be supplied from Changan Rayong
Vietnam requires a type-approval certificate from the Vietnam Register (VR) and a batch inspection on arrival. The Philippines requires a Certificate of Conformity from the Bureau of Product Standards. NEV duty relief for the iDD is assessed against the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement rules of origin.
Authority: Vietnam Register — imported motor vehicle type approval. See the full document checklist for what else travels with the shipment.
Ro-Ro from Guangzhou to Haiphong, Sihanoukville and Manila runs 8-16 days. Container is standard for the iDD because the traction battery adds dangerous-goods paperwork that most Ro-Ro operators surcharge.
In several ASEAN markets, yes, but the classification is national and changes with each budget, so it has to be confirmed per shipment rather than assumed. Where relief applies, the iDD can land cheaper than the petrol UNI-V despite the higher FOB price. We check the current schedule for your destination before issuing the proforma invoice rather than quoting a duty rate we cannot stand behind.
