Chinese electric vehicle brands are among the most anticipated participants at the 41st Bangkok International Motor Expo, which kicks off on Friday.

With many brands set to reveal new models, analysts said Chinese automakers are expected to play a key role in lifting Thai car sales in the second half of this year.

Running until Dec 10, the expo offers 42 car brands from nine countries, 22 motorcycle brands from seven countries, and five used car firms the chance to reach an estimated 1.5 million visitors.
