VinFast is a Vietnamese car manufacturer established in 2017.  A subsidiary of Vingroup Real Estate and Construction Corp., it is widely regarded as Vietnam’s first “true” car manufacturer. VinFast mainly focuses on manufacturing electric cars.

Value[edit]

Vingroup JSC HCM, VinFast’s holding company, has invested an estimated $3.5 million on the company.

Main products[edit]

At the 2018 Paris Motor Show, VinFast revealed its first two vehicles, a sedan named the LUX A2.0 and an SUV model, named the LUX SA 2.0. The vehicles are respectively redesigned versions of BMW’s 5 Series sedan and X5 SUV platforms, but have undergone revisions from major Italian design companies such as Italdesign, Pininfarina and Zagato. The powertrains were reused from the original models; however, the cars also come with several upgrades from Magna Steyr.

VinFast has plans for releasing other vehicle models, which include a city car, a battery car and an electric bus. Details on these vehicles are still not released;  however, VinFast plans to put the city car into production in early 2019. Aside from manufacturing automotive vehicles, VinFast also produces electric scooters.

Production and sales[edit]

VinFast aims to build its first car manufacturing plant in Haiphong, capable of producing 250,000 cars per year, within 5 years of the initial release of their first two car models. Currently, Vinfast produces 250,000 electric scooters per year.
