卜蜂集团和丰田汽车就泰国氢能项目达成合作

卜蜂集团自1921年成立以来，一直以利国、利民、利组织为核心价值观运作。卜蜂集团提供可及的高品质产品，并将在泰国的业务扩展到广泛的领域，包括零售、分销、工业产品以及农业和畜牧业。在分销领域，考虑到社会、经济和环境影响以及可持续发展实践，卜蜂集团通过运输和交付各种产品支持泰国人民的生活。

丰田在泰国的业务获得丰田当地重要合作伙伴暹罗水泥集团在内的众多利益相关者支持，并通过产品、纳税、就业和技术转让等方式和泰国的社会发展一起成长，同时克服了1997年亚洲金融危机和2011年泰国洪水等一系列挑战。

丰田总裁兼首席执行官丰田章男表示，双方都认为本次合作对泰国和地球最有利，已同意利用各自公司的优势和资产继续现在可做的事情。通过迈出这关键一步，将得到泰国的赏识，进而改变未来面貌。

卜蜂集团与丰田将从以下三个方面探索项目落地。

1.利用农场废弃物沼气制氢（以经济区为重点）

2.卜蜂集团车队引入燃料电池送货车（考虑到行驶距离和载重量，提供BEV、FCEV等多种解决方案）

3.优化配送路线的高效物流

Since its establishment in 1921, CP has been operating with the core value of three benefits: to country, to people, and to organization. CP provides accessibility to high quality products and expands its business in Thailand to a wide range of fields, including retail (such as 7-Eleven), distribution, industrial product, and agriculture & livestock. In the distribution field, CP has been supporting the lives of Thai people by transporting and delivering a variety of products through its wide-ranging operations, considering social, economic and environmental impacts and sustainability practices.

In addition, Toyota’s business in Thailand has garnered the support of a number of stakeholders including Siam Cement Group, an important local partner for Toyota, and has grown along with the development of Thai society through products, tax payment, employment and technology transfer, while overcoming a number of challenges such as the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2011 floods.

Akio Toyoda, President and CEO of Toyota, commented, “The two companies, both of which consider the best for Thailand and the Earth, have agreed to proceed with what we can do now, by using each company’s strengths and assets. I believe that taking this crucial step will allow us to be rewarded with the appreciation from the country, and will change the future landscape.” Dhanin Chearavanont, Senior Chairman of C.P. Group, responded, “What President Toyoda and I share is affection and gratitude to Thailand, and both of us very much want to give back to the country. I am delighted that both companies have an opportunity to jointly consider collaboration toward carbon neutrality in Thailand and welcome any companies that share the same carbon neutrality ambitions.”

Specifically, CP and Toyota will explore social implementation in the following three areas. With these actions being linked with each other, the two companies will proceed with what can be done now, to consistently reduce CO2 emissions throughout the entire process of producing, transporting, and using energy, toward accelerating carbon neutrality.

Furthermore, as carbon neutrality should be tackled by all people and industries, CP and Toyota are willing to welcome any partners who share the same view toward carbon neutrality.
