A New Electric Vehicle Factory Signals Industrial Growth
Pursat Province is preparing to welcome a significant boost to its industrial landscape with the announcement of a 46 million US dollar electric vehicle assembly and installation factory. According to the Council for the Development of Cambodia, the project will be established in the Pursat Special Economic Zone, marking another step forward in Cambodia’s push toward modern and sustainable industries. The development reflects growing investor confidence in the country’s manufacturing sector and highlights the increasing role of green technology in shaping Cambodia’s economic future.
Investment Brings Jobs and Local Opportunities
The new factory is expected to generate around 428 jobs, offering valuable employment opportunities for residents in Krakor District and surrounding areas. For many local families, this project represents more than just industrial expansion, it creates pathways for stable income and skill development in a rapidly evolving sector. The CDC extended its congratulations to the local community, emphasizing the positive social and economic impact this investment will bring to Pursat Province.
Strategic Location Enhances Industrial Potential
The facility will be located in Sarvan Village, Sna Ansa Commune, Krakor District, within the Pursat Special Economic Zone. This strategic location provides access to infrastructure, logistics networks, and a supportive investment environment, making it ideal for large scale manufacturing. The project is being developed by Zo Motor (Cambodia) Co., Ltd., further strengthening Cambodia’s position as an emerging hub for automotive assembly in the region.
Cambodia’s Investment Momentum Continues
The EV factory is part of a broader wave of investment activity across the country. In January 2026 alone, the Cambodia Investment Committee under the CDC approved 43 investment projects with a combined value of approximately 752 million US dollars. This surge in investment underscores Cambodia’s attractiveness to international investors and its commitment to diversifying the economy through high value industries such as electric vehicles and advanced manufacturing.
Conclusion
The establishment of the EV assembly plant in Pursat marks a meaningful step in Cambodia’s industrial evolution. With strong investment inflows, job creation, and a shift toward sustainable technologies, the country is building a foundation for long term economic growth. As projects like this continue to emerge, Cambodia is positioning itself as a competitive destination for future focused industries in Southeast Asia.
