Why Green Mobility Has to Go Beyond EV SalesJuly 1, 2026 6:25 AM
PR Newswire (US) IRVINE, Calif., July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For years, the conversation around electric vehicles has largely focused on one metric: How many cars are sold. While EV adoption remains an important indicator of progress, it tells only part of the story. The transition to sustainable transportation ultimately depends on something much broader - a connected mobility ecosystem where charging infrastructure, public transportation, shared mobility and digital innovation work together. Around the world, governments and automakers are recognizing that the future of transportation cannot be measured by vehicle sales alone. Consumers adopt an entire mobility experience. That experience is shaped by whether charging is readily available, whether public transit offers clean alternatives, whether smaller electric vehicles can solve urban transportation challenges, and whether new technologies can make driving safer and more accessible.In other words, green mobility is fundamentally an infrastructure challenge as much as it is a vehicle technology challenge.This systems-based approach is becoming increasingly relevant as cities grow denser, traffic congestion intensifies, and countries pursue climate goals. Electrifying transportation requires an ecosystem capable of supporting millions of daily journeys.VinFast has embraced this broader vision from the outset. The company is building a comprehensive mobility ecosystem designed to expand access to sustainable transportation across multiple use cases and markets.Green Mobility Is an Ecosystem In the first quarter of 2026, VinFast delivered 58,577 electric vehicles worldwide, representing a 61% year-over-year increase, while international markets accounted for approximately 8% of total deliveries. In Vietnam, the company maintained its position as the country's number one automotive OEM, while continuing to strengthen its presence internationally, ranking as the number one BEV brand in the Philippines, fourth in India, and eighth in Indonesia by the end of the first quarter. Yet one of the most telling indicators of VinFast's ecosystem strategy extends beyond passenger vehicles. During the same quarter, the company delivered 143,136 electric scooters and e-bikes, an impressive 219% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025.Different communities have different mobility needs. Dense urban centers often benefit from compact electric scooters and e-bikes that reduce congestion while improving affordability. Families may require larger electric SUVs for longer trips. Businesses increasingly seek commercial electric solutions, while cities need cleaner public transportation options to reduce emissions at scale.No single product can solve every transportation challenge. A diverse ecosystem can.Charging accessibility represents another critical pillar of that ecosystem. Even the most advanced electric vehicle cannot deliver its full value if charging remains inconvenient or difficult to access. Consumers consistently cite charging availability as one of the most important factors influencing EV adoption, making infrastructure just as important as battery technology itself.Recognizing this, VinFast continues to expand its global retail and after-sales network, reaching 447 showrooms worldwide by the end of the first quarter of 2026. Beyond physical retail locations, the company has prioritized improving the ownership experience by ensuring customers have access to reliable service and convenient charging solutions.Building the Infrastructure That Makes Sustainable Mobility AccessibleThe U.S. market provides a compelling example of this customer-first approach. As one of the world's most competitive automotive markets, the United States presents unique challenges.VinFast's U.S. strategy centers on accessibility. Competitive leasing programs significantly reduce the upfront cost of EV ownership, making electric mobility attainable for a broader range of consumers at a time when affordability has become increasingly important.The company's vehicle portfolio further reflects this philosophy. The VF 8 Eco, starting at an MSRP of $39,900, combines practical pricing with attractive customer incentives, including 0% APR financing for up to 84 months and retail bonus cash. The VF 8 Plus adds premium features while maintaining strong value, while the three-row VF 9 targets families seeking spacious electric transportation with premium design developed in collaboration with Pininfarina.Technology also plays an important role in improving accessibility. The VF 9 incorporates an advanced suite of driver assistance technologies, including Highway Driving Assist, Automatic Lane Changing, On-Ramp and Off-Ramp Assist, Remote Parking, and Summon Mode, helping reduce driver workload while enhancing everyday convenience.Equally important, VinFast reinforces long-term ownership confidence through an industry-leading 10-year or 125,000-mile vehicle warranty, while providing access to approximately 95% of public EV charging stations across the United States. Together, these advantages help address two of the most significant barriers to EV adoption, ownership cost and range anxiety.Looking beyond today's market, the future of green mobility will also depend on intelligent transportation technologies. Autonomous driving, connected vehicles, and AI-powered mobility systems have the potential to improve safety, optimize traffic flow, and make transportation more efficient for growing urban populations.In June 2026, VinFast took another step toward that future by announcing a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA and Autobrains to develop a next-generation Level 4 autonomous driving program for Southeast Asia built on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform. The initiative aims to make advanced autonomous driving technology more accessible while adapting it to the complex traffic conditions found across emerging markets.Ultimately, the transition to cleaner transportation will not be won through vehicle sales alone. It will be shaped by the strength of the ecosystems surrounding those vehicles, the charging infrastructure that powers them, the mobility options that complement them, the digital technologies that enhance them, and the customer experiences that encourage widespread adoption.Green mobility is not simply about replacing one car with another. It is about reimagining how people move. And the companies that succeed will be those building not just better electric vehicles, but better mobility systems.

As Electric Vehicles Go Mainstream, Trust Becomes the New DifferentiatorJune 24, 2026 7:05 AM
PR Newswire (US) IRVINE, Calif., June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The global electric vehicle revolution has entered a new phase. For years, the EV conversation centered on range, charging speed and performance. Today, as electric vehicles move from early adopters into the mainstream, a different question is shaping consumer decisions: Who can drivers trust for the long haul? The numbers tell the story. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), one in four new cars sold worldwide in 2025 was electric. Global EV sales surpassed 20 million units, marking the fifth consecutive year of record growth. Electric vehicles now account for approximately 5% of the world's total car fleet, displacing an estimated 1.2 million barrels of oil consumption every day.While China, Europe, and North America remain major EV markets, one of the industry's most remarkable growth stories emerged in Southeast Asia. EV sales in the region more than doubled in 2025, with Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand leading the transformation.Among them, Vietnam stood out.IEA data shows that nearly 40% of all new vehicles sold in Vietnam in 2025 were electric, an adoption rate that surpassed many European markets. At the center of that success was VinFast, the Vietnamese automaker that captured nearly the entire domestic EV market.Multiple factors contributed to VinFast's rapid rise, including competitive pricing, expanding charging infrastructure, and a growing product portfolio. Yet one differentiator consistently resonates with consumers, confidence. More specifically, confidence backed by one of the industry's most comprehensive warranty programs.As VinFast expands globally, including in the United States, that same philosophy is becoming one of its strongest competitive advantages.A Warranty That Signals ConfidenceFor many consumers considering their first electric vehicle, the biggest concerns are not acceleration figures or touchscreen size. Instead, they revolve around practical ownership questions: How long will the battery last? What happens if something breaks? How expensive will repairs be five or eight years from now?These concerns are understandable. Unlike traditional gasoline vehicles, EVs are still relatively new territory for many households. Buyers are often making decisions without decades of ownership experience to guide them. This is where warranty coverage becomes a statement of confidence.VinFast offers a 10-year or 125,000-mile vehicle warranty in the United States, alongside a 10-year unlimited-mileage battery warranty for non-commercial use. In an increasingly crowded EV market, the program ranks among the longest and most comprehensive warranty packages available.Such a commitment carries real financial implications. Every additional year of warranty coverage increases potential costs associated with repairs, replacement parts, service operations, and customer support. Automakers do not make these commitments lightly. The longer the warranty, the greater the responsibility they assume.Viewed through that lens, VinFast's warranty strategy represents something more significant than a marketing incentive. It reflects a willingness to stand behind the product for a decade.There is a simple principle at work, manufacturers that trust their engineering are generally more willing to absorb long-term risk. The company's confidence is rooted in its vertically integrated approach to vehicle development. VinFast maintains involvement across the entire product lifecycle - from research and development to software optimization, customer service, and aftersales support.Data gathered from customers can be rapidly incorporated into product improvements, software updates, and future vehicle development. For consumers, the result is straightforward. A long warranty provides peace of mind during one of the most significant purchasing decisions they will make.Building an Ownership Ecosystem Beyond the VehicleWarranty coverage addresses one side of the EV ownership equation.The other is convenience. Even as EV adoption accelerates, charging accessibility remains a key consideration for many prospective buyers, particularly those transitioning from gasoline-powered vehicles. Questions about road trips, charging availability and network compatibility continue to influence purchase decisions.Recognizing this reality, VinFast has adopted an ecosystem-oriented approach to ownership. Rather than viewing vehicle delivery as the end of the customer journey, the company focuses on supporting drivers throughout the entire ownership experience. VinFast vehicles are designed to integrate with multiple charging networks through app-based connectivity and roaming agreements, allowing access to approximately 95% of public charging stations across North America.This interoperability reduces friction for drivers and helps eliminate one of the most common barriers to EV adoption. The strategy reflects a broader shift occurring across the automotive industry. As vehicles become increasingly connected, consumers are evaluating brands not only on the quality of the product itself but also on the quality of the ownership experience surrounding it.That experience includes software updates, customer support, service accessibility, charging convenience and long-term reliability. In this environment, the winners may not necessarily be the companies that build the fastest vehicles or offer the most features. Instead, they may be the brands that inspire the greatest confidence over years of ownership.The evolution of the EV market suggests that trust is becoming one of the industry's most valuable currencies. As electric vehicles transition from niche products to everyday transportation, consumers are demanding reassurance alongside innovation. They want technology, but they also want dependability. They want sustainability, but they also want support. VinFast's decade-long warranty commitment speaks directly to those expectations. It is not simply a promise about what happens if something goes wrong. It is a signal about what the company believes will happen over the next ten years./.

VinFast VF 8: The Electric SUV That Puts Family FirstJune 18, 2026 7:07 AM
PR Newswire (US) IRVINE, Calif., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with long family road trips. The engine drone that creeps into your skull somewhere around hour three. The faint smell of gasoline that lingers after every fuel stop. The constant mental load of monitoring traffic, adjusting cruise control, and trying to hold a conversation at the same time. Most families have simply accepted this as the price of getting somewhere together. VinFast thinks differently.The VF 8, the Vietnamese automaker's flagship electric SUV now available across the United States, is built around a straightforward premise, that a family car should make the journey easier, quieter, and more comfortable. And in a rapidly crowding EV market, that focus on everyday livability may be exactly what sets it apart.A Cabin That Actually Has Room to BreatheThe first thing most owners notice about the VF 8 isn't a spec on a datasheet. It's the space.Riding on a 116.1-inch wheelbase, the VF 8 competes squarely in the D-SUV segment, a class defined by genuine, family-grade interior volume. The result is a cabin where rear passengers can sit upright without negotiating legroom, where children can stretch out on long hauls, and where the general atmosphere, as many owners describe it, feels open and unhurried rather than squeezed.For families who spend meaningful time in their vehicles, school runs, weekend escapes, interstate road trips, that sense of interior generosity isn't a luxury. It's the difference between arriving refreshed and arriving ready for a nap.Perhaps the most underrated advantage of driving electric is what you don't hear.The VF 8's electric powertrain operates without the combustion engine rumble that defines most conventional SUVs. Combined with dedicated acoustic insulation and double-layer glass throughout the cabin, the result is a driving environment that feels closer to a private lounge than a moving vehicle. Wind noise is minimized. Road vibration is absorbed. The experience of highway driving, which can be mentally taxing over long distances, becomes measurably calmer.For passengers who are sensitive to motion discomfort or fuel smells, the difference is noticeable from the first few minutes on the road. Parents traveling with young children have been particularly vocal about the reduced cabin noise, which allows kids to sleep, read, or watch content without the ambient chaos that gasoline engines inevitably create.Intelligent Assistance, Not Overwhelming ComplexityTechnology in modern vehicles can feel like a double-edged sword, impressive on paper, distracting in practice. The VF 8 takes a more disciplined approach, deploying its suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in ways that reduce driver workload rather than multiply it.The lineup is comprehensive: Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Assist, Lane Centering Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Forward Collision Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Intelligent Speed Adaptation. Together, these systems form a capable co-pilot for highway driving, maintaining safe following distances, holding lane position, and keeping the driver informed of conditions that might otherwise go unnoticed.An intuitive head-up display projects key information directly onto the windshield, eliminating the need to glance away from the road. A voice-controlled virtual assistant handles navigation, climate, and media adjustments through natural language commands.For families covering long distances, this combination of active safety features and thoughtful interface design translates to something genuinely valuable, a calmer, more confident driving experience.Accessible Pricing in a Market That Often Isn'tElectric vehicles have long carried a reputation for premium pricing that excludes middle-income buyers. VinFast is making a deliberate effort to challenge that narrative in the American market.The VF 8 Eco starts at an MSRP of $39,900, while the more comprehensively equipped VF 8 Plus is priced from $44,900. Both trims are currently available with 0% APR financing for up to 84 months, an unusually favorable terms structure, alongside $4,100 in retail bonus cash for eligible buyers. Flexible lease programs are also on offer for consumers who prefer lower monthly commitments or wish to trial EV ownership before making a long-term decision.The American SUV market is not short on options, and the electric segment in particular has become fiercely competitive in recent years. Against that backdrop, the VF 8 doesn't try to win on a single headline number, it builds its case across a range of qualities that matter most to families: interior space, ride comfort, driver assistance technology, and ownership affordability.VinFast, still establishing its footprint in the United States, is clearly wagering that there is a meaningful audience of buyers who have grown skeptical of over-engineered complexity and inflated pricing, families who simply want a capable, quiet, well-equipped electric SUV that doesn't ask them to choose between practicality and value.On the evidence of the VF 8, that wager looks increasingly well-placed.

VinFast VF 8 Redefines Family Travel with Comfort, Connection, and Everyday EaseJune 1, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) IRVINE, Calif., June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As electric vehicles continue to reshape the automotive landscape, family expectations around mobility are evolving as well. Today's drivers are looking for more than just transportation. They want comfort, safety, practicality, and experiences that bring people closer together. Increasingly, the VinFast VF 8 is emerging as a compelling answer to those needs. Designed as a spacious all-electric SUV for modern families, the VF 8 combines advanced technology, refined comfort, and user-focused convenience into a vehicle that transforms the way families experience daily commutes and long-distance travel alike. For many owners, the shift to the VF 8 has not only changed how they drive, but also how they spend time together.Spacious Comfort and Smart Technology Designed for FamiliesPositioned in the competitive D-SUV segment, the VinFast VF 8 stands out with a generous 116.1-inch wheelbase, giving passengers exceptional cabin room and comfort. The spacious interior has become one of the vehicle's most appreciated qualities among owners, particularly for families who frequently travel together.Unlike conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, the VF 8 delivers a quiet, vibration-free driving experience that significantly reduces fatigue during long journeys. The electric powertrain eliminates engine noise, while acoustic insulation and double-layer glass contribute to a calm, private cabin environment. For many passengers who are sensitive to fuel smells or motion discomfort, the difference is immediately noticeable.Owners often describe the cabin atmosphere as open, airy, and relaxing, qualities that become especially valuable during road trips or extended time on the highway. Parents traveling with children appreciate the reduced cabin noise, while passengers can comfortably rest, work, or enjoy entertainment throughout the journey.Technology also plays a major role in elevating the in-car experience. The VF 8 offers a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Assist, Lane Centering Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Forward Collision Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Intelligent Speed Adaptation.These features help reduce driver workload and contribute to smoother, more confident highway driving. For families traveling long distances, the system provides added peace of mind by helping maintain safe distances, stable lane positioning, and greater awareness of surrounding traffic conditions.Drivers also benefit from an intuitive head-up display (HUD) and a voice-controlled virtual assistant that allows access to key vehicle functions without taking attention away from the road. The combination of intelligent assistance and thoughtful interface design helps create a driving experience that feels modern, effortless, and family-oriented.An EV That Encourages a More Connected LifestyleFor many owners, transitioning to the VinFast VF 8 has represented more than simply switching from gasoline to electric power. It has become a lifestyle shift, one that encourages slower, more intentional, and more connected moments with family members.Several drivers say their routines have changed in unexpected ways after adopting the VF 8. Instead of immediately returning to screens or separate activities after dinner, some couples now use charging stops as opportunities to relax together. Sitting inside the vehicle with the air conditioning running, music playing softly, and conversations flowing naturally has become a new kind of shared experience, something many compare to spending quiet time together at a café.Long-distance travel habits have also evolved. Traditional "push through without stopping" road trips are gradually being replaced by more balanced journeys with regular charging breaks every few hours. These pauses encourage drivers to rest, recharge, and remain alert behind the wheel, ultimately supporting safer travel for the entire family.The VF 8's electric architecture also introduces practical advantages during these stops. Because the vehicle produces no local emissions, families can comfortably remain inside the cabin with climate control activated while resting or waiting during charging sessions. Combined with the vehicle's camping mode and spacious seating layout, charging breaks become less of an interruption and more of an opportunity to relax and reconnect before continuing the trip.Not only does VinFast focus on delivering a comfortable and technology-driven ownership experience, but the company is also placing strong emphasis on aftersales support and long-term customer care, an area that remains critical for EV adoption in the U.S. market.As part of that effort, VinFast is continuing to expand service accessibility for customers through a combination of dealership support, authorized service providers, and digital service solutions designed to improve convenience and flexibility for owners across the United States.That commitment has also been recognized by industry partners in the United States.For example, RepairWise became an authorized VinFast service provider in the U.S., supporting both warranty and customer-pay repairs through its digital-first service platform and independent service network. The partnership is designed to complement and expand service accessibility for VinFast customers, particularly in areas where additional service flexibility may benefit owners.According to David Pributsky, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of RepairWise, one of the most compelling aspects of VinFast's strategy is its comprehensive approach to supporting customers after the sale."I'm excited about VinFast and its broader ecosystem because I strongly believe EVs represent the future of automotive technology. In the U.S. market, many EV options remain expensive without delivering strong value at an accessible price point. What makes VinFast particularly compelling is its combination of competitive pricing, and comprehensive aftersales support, all of which create a very attractive ownership proposition for American consumers," said David Pributsky.Anthony Rodio, CEO and Co-Founder of RepairWise, also highlighted the company's long-term commitment to EV customers in America, especially through expanding service accessibility beyond traditional dealership networks."What also gets me excited is many of the legacy manufacturers in the U.S. are not adopting EV while VinFast is going all in on EV. The U.S. is an incredibly large market, and that creates a strong opportunity for us to help expand service accessibility for VinFast customers nationwide, including in areas where there may not yet be a dealership presence," Rodio said.By working with authorized partners such as RepairWise alongside its dealer and service network expansion efforts, VinFast aims to provide customers with a more flexible and accessible ownership experience as EV adoption continues to grow across the United States.Practical Ownership Value for the U.S. MarketBeyond comfort and lifestyle benefits, the VinFast VF 8 also appeals to practical-minded consumers through inclusive pricing and ownership incentives in the United States.VinFast currently offers attractive financing and leasing programs designed to make EV ownership more accessible for American customers. The VF 8 Eco starts at an MSRP of $39,900 and is available with 0% APR financing for up to 84 months, along with $4,100 in retail bonus cash for eligible buyers.Meanwhile, the VF 8 Plus starts at an MSRP of $44,900 and also qualifies for 0% APR financing for 84 months, paired with $4,100 in retail bonus cash. Both trims are additionally supported by flexible lease programs aimed at lowering barriers to entry for customers considering their first electric vehicle and backed with America's Best EV warranty of 10-year/125,000 miles and 10-year/unlimited mileage battery warranty to ensure confidence for our customers.These incentives position the VF 8 competitively within the midsize electric SUV market while reinforcing VinFast's strategy of expanding EV accessibility to a broader range of consumers.At a time when many families are reevaluating what they truly need from a vehicle, the VF 8 combines spaciousness, intelligent technology, refined comfort, and practical ownership advantages into a package designed around real-world family life.More importantly, the experiences shared by VF 8 owners suggest the vehicle is helping reshape everyday mobility in meaningful ways. Whether through quieter journeys, safer long-distance travel, or more opportunities for connection between loved ones, the VF 8 demonstrates how an electric vehicle can enhance not only how families move, but how they spend time together along the way.

VINFAST AND AUTOBRAINS LAUNCH FIRST AGENTIC AI L4 PROGRAM FOR SOUTHEAST ASIA WITH NVIDIAJune 1, 2026 1:57 AM
PR Newswire (US) Combining Autobrains' Agentic AI with NVIDIA DRIVE HyperionDeveloping VinFast's level 4 to drive safely in real-world conditionsAdvancing autonomous driving without the premium cost that has stalled othersTAIPEI, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VinFast (NASDAQ: VFS), and Autobrains announced at NVIDIA GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX 2026 today a strategic collaboration for a next-generation level 4 program for Southeast Asia built on NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion. The collaboration marks a new step in VinFast's roadmap to make advanced autonomous driving technology more accessible at a reasonable cost, while opening a more practical approach to autonomous mobility solutions in the region's highly complex traffic environments. Built on NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion 10 compute and powered by Autobrains' Agentic AI software for autonomous driving capabilities, VinFast is developing the level 4 platform for Southeast Asia. With dense traffic, diverse road behavior, and highly dynamic urban environments, Southeast Asia presents a demanding validation ground for autonomous driving.The three-way collaboration comes at a time when autonomous driving has stalled on three persistent barriers: system complexity, compute cost, and brittle performance outside controlled environments. To address these challenges, VinFast, NVIDIA, and Autobrains are developing a modular architecture, pairing vehicle integration, high-performance compute, and Agentic AI software.Unlike traditional end-to-end approachs, Autobrains' Agentic AI deploys specialized AI agents that activate only when the driving task demands them. This approach delivers sharper real-world reasoning, lower compute overhead, and a scalable, cost-efficient path to autonomy.For VinFast, the program provides a path to bring advanced autonomous capability to market without the premium cost structure that has limited wider deployment. NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion gives VinFast a validated hardware and software foundation, reducing the integration work that typically adds years to autonomous vehicle programs.Prof.-Dr. Duong Nguyen, Deputy CEO of ADAS at VinFast Global, said: "Advanced mobility shouldn't be a luxury. VinFast is committed to building scalable and accessible autonomous driving solutions through collaboration with global technology leaders.

'Built for the Long Term': Why U.S. Partners Believe in VinFast's Global Service StrategyMay 23, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) IRVINE, Calif., May 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the global electric vehicle market enters a more competitive and demanding phase, automakers are increasingly realizing that success is no longer defined solely by product specifications or pricing. In today's EV landscape, customer confidence, long-term ownership experience, and after-sales support are becoming decisive factors that separate sustainable brands from short-lived challengers. Against that backdrop, VinFast is pursuing a distinctive global strategy, positioning after-sales service as a core competitive advantage.That strategy was reinforced recently as VinFast signed new Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with 29 after-sales partners across international markets during a global partner event that brought together more than 200 investors, distributors, dealers, and service partners from North America, Europe, the Middle East, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Kazakhstan. The event marked a major milestone in VinFast's efforts to rapidly scale its global service infrastructure and strengthen customer support capabilities worldwide.After-sales as the foundation of global expansionVinFast plans to expand its global service network to more than 1,100 workshops worldwide in 2026, spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The network will operate under multiple models, including dealership service centers, fleet-support facilities, and third-party authorized repair partners in local markets.In the United States, VinFast is expanding its after-sales capabilities through authorized service partnerships such as RepairWise, a digital-first automotive service platform that connects customers with certified repair facilities through remote diagnostics, online repair estimates, and streamlined appointment scheduling. The partnership is designed to complement and extend existing dealer service capabilities by helping improve service accessibility, reduce appointment wait times, and expand coverage in areas where dealership infrastructure is still growing.In the EV industry, where concerns around battery health, maintenance costs, charging accessibility, and software reliability remain top priorities for consumers, a strong after-sales ecosystem is increasingly viewed as essential infrastructure. This is particularly true in the United States, one of the world's most competitive and service-sensitive automotive markets.For VinFast's American partners, the company's commitment to after-sales support is one of the primary reasons they believe the brand has long-term potential in the U.S.'What impressed us most was the ecosystem'David Pributsky, Chief Commercial Officer and co-founder of Repairwise North America, said one of the most striking aspects of VinFast is not just the company itself, but the scale and integration of the broader Vingroup ecosystem supporting it.According to Pributsky, what distinguishes VinFast from many emerging automakers is the fact that it is backed by a comprehensive ecosystem with interconnected capabilities across multiple sectors. "I've never worked directly with a company that has so many interconnected components within one ecosystem," he said. "That's something completely new to me."Anthony Rodio, CEO and co-founder of Repairwise, emphasized that visiting Vietnam and seeing the broader Vingroup ecosystem firsthand gave international partners greater confidence in VinFast's long-term aspirations."One of the biggest surprises for me was having the opportunity to see the full breadth of the Vingroup ecosystem, from VinUniversity to the group's many subsidiaries," Rodio said. "It demonstrates a genuine commitment by VinFast and Vingroup to Vietnam, to its people, and to industries that are creating jobs, supporting communities, and driving economic growth."Why the after-sales strategy matters in AmericaThe U.S. EV market is entering a transitional period. While consumer interest in electric vehicles remains strong, several legacy automakers have recently slowed or adjusted their EV expansion plans amid profitability concerns and changing market conditions.For VinFast's partners, that shift creates opportunity.Pributsky believes there is a meaningful gap in the American market for well-equipped EVs offered at accessible price points and supported by strong customer service infrastructure."I strongly believe EVs represent better technology for the future," he said. "However, in the U.S. market today, there are still too many expensive EVs and not enough high-quality options at accessible price points."According to him, VinFast's integrated approach makes the company particularly compelling. "The combination of charging infrastructure, after-sales support, and competitive pricing makes VinFast very compelling for the U.S. market," Pributsky explained. "That's one of the key reasons we're excited to work with them and help grow their presence in our market."He also believes VinFast's long-term commitment gives the company a realistic pathway toward growth despite the challenges of entering a highly competitive market."The U.S. market is highly competitive and very different from Southeast Asia," he acknowledged. "But I believe VinFast has an opportunity to gain traction."Importantly, he emphasized that VinFast's willingness to invest heavily in service infrastructure is what gives partners confidence. "VinFast has demonstrated real commitment, and they have the people and resources to support their aspirations," he said. "Expanding in the U.S. is not easy, but they are clearly committed to building for the long term."Rodio similarly believes after-sales coverage could become one of VinFast's strongest advantages in the United States, especially given the country's geographic scale."The U.S. is an enormous market," Rodio said. "That creates a major opportunity for us to help provide service coverage for VinFast customers in areas where there may not yet be dealerships.""Our role is to help make the VinFast ownership experience easier and more convenient for customers across the United States," Rodio said. "Through our digital service platform and independent repair network, we can help customers access qualified service locations more quickly, receive transparent repair estimates, and schedule repairs efficiently, whether they need warranty support or routine maintenance."He added that the partnership is designed to strengthen VinFast's overall after-sales ecosystem while also supporting dealer operations as the brand continues expanding its retail footprint in the U.S. "As VinFast grows, having multiple authorized service pathways helps improve customer access, reduce delays, and create a more seamless ownership experience."VinFast's expanded after-sales strategy is designed to work alongside its dealership network, with authorized third-party service partners helping extend service accessibility and customer support coverage in select markets. As the company continues growing its retail and dealership footprint in the United States, VinFast says the additional service infrastructure is intended to improve convenience and responsiveness for customers while supporting dealers with broader service capacity.Confidence built through partnershipBeyond infrastructure and strategy, VinFast's partners also point to the company's collaborative mindset as a major reason they are committed to supporting its expansion.Pributsky said Repairwise has worked closely with VinFast through a wide range of operational challenges and has been impressed by the company's responsiveness and willingness to improve."VinFast has been an excellent partner for us," he said. "They've provided strong support, and we've worked through many challenges together."More importantly, he emphasized that VinFast demonstrates a level of openness and adaptability that is critical for a fast-growing global company. "They listen carefully, they want to improve, and they're always looking for ways to do better," he said. "We also continue learning and improving on our side, but I'm deeply committed to this partnership and to what we're building together in the United States."That spirit of long-term collaboration was reinforced throughout the global partner event, where many attendees highlighted the speed at which VinFast is evolving both technologically and operationally.Following tours of VinFast's manufacturing facilities, both executives expressed surprise at the level of automation and modernization inside the company's production ecosystem."My first impression was how automated and advanced the factory was," Rodio said. "Before visiting, I imagined a much more manual operation, but instead the facility was highly modern and technologically sophisticated."Together, those experiences reinforced a broader conclusion shared by many international partners. VinFast is not approaching global expansion as a short-term experiment. Instead, the company is investing in the long-term foundations necessary to compete internationally.In an increasingly crowded EV market, VinFast's belief that customer trust is earned through long-term service may ultimately become one of its most important differentiators. And for partners in the United States, that commitment is exactly why they believe the company deserves serious attention.

VINFAST INTRODUCES THE NEW-GENERATION VF 8, FEATURING COMPREHENSIVE USER EXPERIENCE ENHANCEMENTSMay 21, 2026 7:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) HANOI, Vietnam, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VinFast officially introduced the new-generation VF 8, a D-segment electric SUV featuring a range of upgrades to its technology platform, developed by VinFast's engineering team to deliver a smoother, more convenient, and more stable driving experience. As one of the models that helped mark VinFast's transition toward becoming a global all-electric vehicle manufacturer, the VF 8 is the first model in the lineup to receive comprehensive upgrades in design, technology, and features, bringing notable improvements to both driving performance and overall user experience.In terms of design and comfort, the new-generation VF 8 was developed based on the "Tech Fluid" philosophy, with the idea of integrating technology into the vehicle's design language and everyday usability. The design emphasizes seamlessness, refinement, and a sense of motion, creating the appearance of a modern and dynamic SUV that reflects a contemporary lifestyle.The vehicle measures 4,701 x 1,872 x 1,670 mm (length x width x height), with a wheelbase of 2,840 mm and a five-seat configuration, helping optimize cabin space and passenger comfort. A ground clearance of 170 mm, combined with 19-inch wheels, allows the new-generation VF 8 to handle a variety of driving conditions with flexibility.At the front, the vehicle reflects a distinctly modern design language, featuring a wide gloss-black grille paired with VinFast's signature wing-shaped daytime running lights. Large air intakes integrated into both sides of the front bumper contribute to aerodynamic efficiency while adding visual depth to the overall design.Along the sides, the window line gradually rises toward the rear, creating a sense of movement even when the vehicle is stationary. The door panels feature smooth transitions between light and surfaces, combined with defined character lines that create changing reflections as the vehicle moves.At the rear, the design adopts a refined minimalist approach, highlighted by large taillights integrated with VinFast's signature V-shaped LED strip. The updated rear design contributes to aerodynamic performance while giving the vehicle a younger and more dynamic appearance.Inside the cabin, the new-generation VF 8 features an intuitive and ergonomic layout. At the center of the dashboard is a 12.9-inch infotainment display with a clear interface integrating most vehicle controls in a user-friendly format. A secondary display behind the steering wheel provides key driving information, while the steering-column-mounted gear selector is designed to improve ease of operation.The vehicle is equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control, integrated air ionization, and a Combi 1.0 air filter to support passenger comfort. The sport-inspired ergonomic seats include a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat with memory function, while the second-row seats can recline and fold flat in a 60:40 split to increase cargo capacity when needed. The vehicle also integrates a virtual assistant supporting multiple Vietnamese dialects, along with an eight-speaker audio system for in-car entertainment.In terms of technology and driving dynamics, the new-generation VF 8 is built on a new chassis platform featuring a suspension system equipped with Frequency Selective Dampers (FSD) on both the front and rear axles. The system can adjust damping characteristics according to road conditions to reduce vibrations on rough surfaces while maintaining vehicle stability.The new-generation VF 8 also features a newly developed electrical and electronic architecture based on the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) approach. The system architecture and control software were designed by VinFast engineers, reflecting the company's capability to develop core vehicle technologies in-house. At the center of the system is the Central Vehicle Computer (CVC), which manages data processing and vehicle control functions to support quicker and smoother responses to driver inputs.The vehicle is powered by an electric motor producing a maximum output of 170 kW (228 horsepower) and peak torque of 330 Nm, paired with front-wheel drive and three driving modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport. The new-generation VF 8 uses a 60.13 kWh battery pack, providing a driving range of up to 500 km on a full charge based on NEDC standards. The vehicle also supports fast charging from 10% to 70% in under 30 minutes.Notably, the new-generation VF 8 is equipped with an Integrated Thermal Management (ITM) system independently researched, developed, and patented by VinFast. The system manages cooling and heating functions for the battery, motor, electrical system, and cabin climate control in a coordinated and efficient manner. This helps maintain stable vehicle performance, improve energy efficiency, support fast charging capability, and contribute to battery and motor durability, while maintaining cabin comfort in varying weather conditions.In terms of safety, the new-generation VF 8 comes equipped with a comprehensive Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), including features such as Highway Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Warning, and a high-definition 360-degree camera system. The chassis structure and ADAS technologies were developed with the aim of meeting ASEAN NCAP 5-star safety standards.VinFast will officially begin accepting pre-orders in Vietnam for the new-generation VF 8 through its official website and authorized dealer network nationwide starting May 27, 2026. The vehicle is priced at VND 999 million and comes with a warranty of seven years or 160,000 km for the vehicle, and eight years or 160,000 km for the battery, whichever comes first.The first deliveries of the new-generation VF 8 are expected to begin in late July 2026.About VinFastVinFast (NASDAQ: VFS), a subsidiary of Vingroup JSC, one of Vietnam's largest conglomerates, is a pure-play electric vehicle ("EV") manufacturer with the mission of making EVs accessible to everyone.

Decoding the Story Behind VinFast's Impressive FiguresApril 22, 2026 11:31 AM
PR Newswire (US)

HA NOI, Vietnam, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 22, 2026, VinFast released its first-quarter delivery figures, reporting 58,577 electric vehicles handed over globally, a 61% year-over-year increase. On paper, it is a strong commercial performance. In context, it is something more consequential, a signal that the company's vertically integrated strategy is beginning to scale with measurable impact.







Behind the numbers lies a system, one that links manufacturing, artificial intelligence, infrastructure, and urban development into a cohesive growth engine.The composition of deliveries reveals a deliberate portfolio strategy. The Limo Green and VF 3 emerged as the best-selling models, reaching 12,693 and 11,088 units respectively, underscoring VinFast's strength in accessible, urban-oriented segments.Meanwhile, the VF 5, VF 6, and VF 7 collectively demonstrate the company's ability to expand into higher-value categories without losing volume momentum. The presence of models like the VF MPV 7 and Minio Green further illustrates a segmentation approach designed to capture diverse mobility needs rather than rely on a single flagship.Equally important is the surge in two-wheeler electrification. With 143,136 e-scooters and e-bikes delivered in the same period, up 219% year-over-year, VinFast is accelerating Vietnam's green transition.When VinFast vehicles begin appearing on roads in markets such as California or North Carolina, they reflect the outward extension of a system designed to operate across markets.Smart Manufacturing as a Strategic Control LayerAt the core of VinFast's global aspiration lies a principle often underestimated in the electric vehicle race: Manufacturing is a strategic control layer. While many EV entrants have prioritized software or branding, VinFast has invested early in industrial capability, positioning production itself as a source of competitive advantage.This approach is reinforced through its integration within Vingroup, particularly via collaboration with VinRobotics. VinRobotics is developing AI-enabled robotic systems capable of adaptive behavior in complex manufacturing environments. These include humanoid robots designed for operational flexibility, systems that can interpret workflows, respond to variability, and continuously optimize execution.The implications are structural. As VinFast scales production across multiple markets, the ability to maintain consistency in quality while improving throughput becomes critical. Intelligent automation enables precisely that, reducing error rates, tightening tolerances, and improving capacity utilization without proportionally increasing labor or operational complexity.More importantly, this manufacturing model creates a feedback loop. Data generated on the factory floor can inform design adjustments, process optimization, and even supply chain decisions.Autonomous Technology and the Discipline of Capital EfficiencyWhile manufacturing provides the backbone, autonomous driving represents the frontier. VinFast's approach here is notably pragmatic. Instead of pursuing autonomy through aggressive, capital-intensive experimentation, the company has adopted a staged roadmap that balances ambition with execution discipline.Starting from Level 2+ and 2++ advanced driver-assistance systems, VinFast is incrementally progressing toward Level 4 autonomy. This progression is not only technological but also strategic, allowing the company to deploy features that generate immediate user value while building the foundation for more advanced capabilities.A key element of this strategy is selective partnership. Through collaboration with Tensor, VinFast gains access to cutting-edge Level 4 robocar technologies without bearing the full cost of development. In this relationship, VinFast's role extends beyond manufacturing. It acts as a commercialization platform, bridging the gap between prototype and scalable deployment.This hybrid model, combining in-house R&D with external innovation, allows VinFast to remain agile while preserving capital efficiency. It also positions the company to participate in emerging mobility segments such as robotaxi services, where the convergence of autonomy, electrification, and platform economics is expected to reshape urban transportation.Ecosystem Integration as a Long-Term DifferentiatorIf manufacturing defines capability and autonomy defines direction, ecosystem integration defines VinFast's long-term differentiation. Unlike many automakers that operate within narrowly defined value chains, VinFast benefits from the broader architecture of Vingroup, where adjacent sectors are developed in parallel and designed to interconnect.Within this ecosystem, companies such as GSM and V-Green address two of the most persistent barriers to EV adoption: utilization and infrastructure. GSM's all-electric taxi fleet generates immediate, large-scale demand while familiarizing consumers with electric mobility in everyday contexts. V-Green, meanwhile, expands charging accessibility, reducing friction in ownership and enabling broader adoption.This integrated model extends beyond mobility into urban development through Vinhomes. Projects such as Vinhomes Green Paradise illustrate how electrification can be embedded into the fabric of city planning, rather than retrofitted onto existing infrastructure. With renewable energy sources, fully electrified transport systems, and low-density construction aligned with environmental preservation, such developments function as living laboratories for sustainable urban ecosystems.What emerges from this structure is not just synergy, but compounding value. Each component reinforces the others, increased EV adoption drives demand for charging infrastructure; expanded infrastructure supports mobility services; mobility services, in turn, normalize electrification and feed back into vehicle demand. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle that is difficult for competitors operating in isolated segments to replicate.Ultimately, VinFast's trajectory suggests a shift in how automotive companies define themselves. The company is positioning itself as a platform, one that integrates production, technology, infrastructure, and lifestyle into a unified proposition.In a global industry undergoing rapid transformation, this integrated approach may prove decisive. Growth figures, while impressive, are only the surface. The deeper story is about architecture, the deliberate construction of a system capable of scaling not just products, but an entire model of mobility.

Les VE de VinFast redonnent la joie de conduire sur fond de hausse des carburantsApril 14, 2026 9:06 PM
Business Wire
Alors que les prix de l'essence grimpent, les conducteurs canadiens redécouvrent le plaisir simple de conduire, avec des VE VinFast offrant une conduite plus silencieuse et plus souple, loin des préoccupations récurrentes liés aux carburants.


Lorsque les prix de l'essence ont fortement augmenté ces dernières semaines, Edric, un photographe indépendant basé au Québec qui conduit souvent d'une ville à une autre pour son travail et qui aime aussi vraiment prendre la route pour le plaisir, savait qu'il devait faire quelque chose pour entretenir sa passion. C'est alors qu'une information a attiré son attention : les propriétaires de VE sont cinq fois mieux couverts que les propriétaires de véhicules thermiques.1


Intrigué, il est allé sur le web à la recherche d'un contrat de VE abordable et, après plusieurs appels, des passages chez des concessionnaires (qui se sont avérés, rétrospectivement, être ses dernières fois au volant d'un véhicule thermique) et un essai sur route, il est maintenant le propriétaire d'un VF 8 Plus, un VUS tout électrique de taille moyenne d'une marque jeune et ambitieuse du Viêt Nam.


« La conduite était souple, l'environnement était suffisamment silencieux pour que je puisse entendre la route lorsque je baissais ma fenêtre », déclare Edric. « Mais bien sûr, le meilleur dans tout cela était de ne plus avoir à se soucier du prix de l'essence. »


Edric fait partie de la vague de nouveaux propriétaires de VE en Amérique du Nord qui ont été convaincus de passer à l'électrique à cause du nouveau choc pétrolier. Ce groupe de conducteurs ne l’a pas fait parce que les VE sont écologiques ou qu'ils représentent l’avenir, mais en raison de la simple perspective d’économiser de l’argent sur l'essence. Avec la différence actuelle entre recharger un VE et remplir un réservoir d’essence, et avec une volatilité dont on ne voit pas le bout, cela coûtera 10 000 CAD supplémentaires au cours des cinq prochaines années, selon le propre calcul d’Edric (en supposant 20 000 km par an, environ 9,8 litres pour 100 km pour un VUS à essence contre environ 28,7 kWh pour 100 km pour le VF 8, à environ 1,41 $ par litre d’essence et 0,12 $ par kWh d’électricité).


« Les prix de l'essence ne cessent de grimper et les passages au garage me coûtent quelques centaines de dollars à chaque fois. La voiture vieillit aussi, donc ça s'ajoute au reste. Honnêtement, je ne sais pas pourquoi je n’ai pas changé plus tôt », déclare Edric, qui prévoit de partir dans son véhicule électrique pour un voyage au cours du long week-end de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste.


VinFast propose actuellement le VF 8 en deux versions : Eco et Plus, avec un prix d'appel d'environ 53 600 CAD, en dessous du prix moyen national d'un véhicule neuf. Lorsqu'ils sont combinés aux incitatifs et aux crédits provinciaux disponibles, les clients canadiens de VinFast peuvent recevoir jusqu'à 18 000 $ de rabais et d'économies au total. Cela porte le prix de départ effectif du VF 8 de VinFast aux alentours de 35 070 $ après les crédits admissibles.


Mis à part le prix, le VF 8 a fait une forte première impression au moment où Edric est entré à l'intérieur. Avec un empattement de 2 950 mm, il se retrouve dans la partie supérieure du segment des VUS de taille moyenne. L'habitacle donne une sensation d'ouverture, non seulement visuelle, mais aussi dans sa fonctionnalité au quotidien.


« Le siège arrière s’adapte facilement à trois adultes sans que personne ne se sente à l'étroit », déclare-t-il.


La voiture dispose également d'une climatisation bizone automatique, de sièges avant motorisés et d'un grand écran tactile central de 15,6 pouces qui gère la plupart des fonctions. Apple CarPlay est de série, et l'autonomie est pensée pour répondre aux besoins quotidiens. La configuration est sobre, avec moins de boutons et plus de fonctions à l'écran. Edric a dû s'y habituer au début, mais il n'y fait même plus attention maintenant. Le VF 8 Plus est équipé d'un double moteur de 402 chevaux et d'une transmission intégrale.


Pour les personnes qui aiment toujours les véhicules haut de gamme, mais qui veulent aussi réduire leurs frais, le véhicule phare de VinFast, le VF 9 de sept places et trois rangées, pourrait bien être pour elles. C’est ce qu'a découvert David, un agent immobilier basé à Vancouver qui passe une grande partie de sa journée à conduire des clients dans la ville, lorsque les prix de l’essence ont franchi le seuil de ce qu’il considérait comme acceptable.


« Je sais qu'on ne peut pas avoir le beurre et l'argent du beurre, en particulier avec des prix de carburant comme ceux-ci », déclare David. « Mais avec le VF 9, j’obtiens toujours cette sensation haut de gamme sans que le carburant ne me coûte les yeux de la tête. »


En tant que véhicule haut de gamme, le VF 9 est naturellement vendu à un prix plus élevé et ne bénéficie pas du rabais fédéral, mais il offre les caractéristiques que vous attendez d’un véhicule de cette catégorie : des dimensions formidables de 201,4 x 88,7 x 66,8 pouces et un empattement de 124 pouces, avec des options pour une banquette ou des sièges capitaine de deuxième rangée, ce que David a choisi. Son véhicule dispose de sièges ventilés et chauffants, d'une fonction de massage intégrée pour les sièges avant et de deuxième rangée, d'un grand écran central de 15,6 pouces jumelé à un écran de deuxième rangée, d'une climatisation trizone et de portières à fermeture douce. La troisième rangée est également utilisable, même pour ses enfants de taille adulte.


Avec une transmission intégrale et jusqu'à 402 chevaux, le VF 9 a plus de puissance qu'il n'en faut pour la conduite sur autoroute et les conditions hivernales. L'autonomie est évaluée à 518 kilomètres par charge complète.


Le VF 8 et le VF 9 sont livrés avec une généreuse garantie de véhicule de 10 ans ou 200 000 km, ainsi qu'une couverture kilométrique illimitée pour la batterie en utilisation standard. L'application VinFast connecte les conducteurs à un vaste réseau de bornes de recharge publiques à travers l'Amérique du Nord, ce qui simplifie la planification des itinéraires et l'utilisation quotidienne. Le véhicule bénéficie également d'une assistance routière 24/7, ce qui rassure les personnes qui débutent dans la conduite électrique.


« Ce type de couverture est l'une des raisons pour laquelle j'ai choisi cette nouvelle voiture », déclare David. « Mais je n’avais pas non plus réalisé à quel point le prix du carburant retirait tout le plaisir de conduire. Maintenant, j'ai retrouvé la simplicité et la joie de faire un tour en voiture. »

Nouvelle année, nouvelles économies : le VinFast VF 8 s'offre des perspectives plus larges grâce à la prime à l'achat de véhicules électriques au CanadaApril 2, 2026 3:29 PM
Business Wire
Avec le retour des aides fédérales, le VF 8 de VinFast devient plus accessible que jamais, grâce à une garantie de 10 ans à la pointe du secteur et à un réseau de recharge intégré couvrant toute l'Amérique du Nord


L'année du Cheval a démarré sur les chapeaux de roue pour VinFast. La société a livré 16 172 véhicules électriques au Vietnam rien qu'en janvier, soit une hausse de 55 % par rapport au même mois l'année dernière1. C'était le 16e mois consécutif où VinFast occupait la première place sur son marché national, le « fruit mûr » de huit années passées à jouer la carte du long terme et à construire un écosystème complet de véhicules électriques au Vietnam, couvrant les produits, les infrastructures de recharge et le service après-vente.


Dans les derniers chiffres de livraison, deux nouveaux modèles de la gamme VinFast, la compacte Minio Green et l’EC Van, ont représenté plus de 2 000 unités. Ce sont de petits véhicules destinés à des usages pratiques : les trajets urbains et le transport commercial léger. « Nous voulions un véhicule abordable pour le magasin et un véhicule propre pour la ville », a déclaré Nguyen Thi Lan, qui tient une épicerie à Da Nang et a récemment ajouté une EC Van à sa flotte.


Cette dynamique de début d’année au Vietnam coïncide désormais avec un changement de politique à des milliers de kilomètres de là. Le gouvernement fédéral canadien a relancé son programme de rabais sur les véhicules électriques, désormais connu sous le nom de Programme pour l'abordabilité des véhicules électriques (EVAP). Dans le cadre de cette nouvelle structure, les véhicules électriques à batterie éligibles peuvent bénéficier d’incitations fédérales pouvant atteindre 5 000 CAD. Plus important encore, le VinFast VF 8 est éligible.


En combinant ces aides avec les autres incitations et crédits provinciaux disponibles, les clients canadiens pourront désormais bénéficier d’un total de remises et d’économies pouvant atteindre 18 000 CAD. Cela rend le VinFast VF 8 plus accessible que jamais, avec un prix de vente conseillé tout compris à partir de 35 070 CAD après crédits éligibles.


Il y a également un aspect temporel, car le programme EVAP est conçu pour diminuer au fur et à mesure de son déroulement. « Si vous envisagiez de toute façon d'acheter un véhicule électrique, c'est l'année idéale », a déclaré un observateur du marché à Vancouver. « La remise ne sera pas aussi généreuse éternellement. »


Construire pour le long terme


Les remises peuvent attirer l'attention. Mais elles ne suffisent pas à elles seules à dissiper les inquiétudes liées à l'achat d'un véhicule. Ainsi, avant même le rétablissement de cette mesure incitative, VinFast avait déjà axé son argumentaire en Amérique du Nord sur la possession à long terme afin de se démarquer dans le segment très concurrentiel des SUV électriques de taille moyenne.


Au Canada, les versions Eco et Plus sont toutes deux équipées d'une transmission intégrale à deux moteurs et d'une batterie de 87,7 kWh. La version Eco développe 349 chevaux et offre une autonomie estimée pouvant atteindre 412 kilomètres, tandis que la version Plus porte la puissance à 402 chevaux, avec une autonomie estimée pouvant atteindre 378 kilomètres.


La capacité de remorquage est évaluée à 1 800 kg, ce qui positionne le VF 8 de manière compétitive pour les familles qui tractent de petites remorques ou du matériel de loisirs. Un coffre avant de 76 litres offre un espace de rangement supplémentaire, utile pour le matériel d’hiver, les câbles de recharge ou les courses du week-end, sans empiéter sur l’espace de chargement arrière.


À l'intérieur, un écran central d'infodivertissement de 15,6 pouces domine l'habitacle, complété par un affichage tête haute et des fonctions avancées d'aide à la conduite. Sony RIDEVU permet aux passagers de diffuser du contenu via le Wi-Fi embarqué lorsque le véhicule est à l'arrêt, une fonctionnalité qui peut faire passer un arrêt pour recharger la batterie en un clin d'œil.


Ce qui retient sans doute le plus l'attention des acheteurs, c'est la garantie, la plus avantageuse du secteur. VinFast propose une garantie de 10 ans ou 200 000 kilomètres sur le véhicule, ainsi qu'une garantie de 10 ans sans limitation de kilométrage sur la batterie haute tension, dans des conditions normales d'utilisation. « La garantie a rendu la décision plus facile », a déclaré un propriétaire de VF 8 au Québec. « J'ai eu le sentiment qu'ils soutenaient vraiment leur produit. »


En matière de service après-vente, VinFast dispose également d’une assistance téléphonique disponible 24 h/24 et 7 j/7 et collabore avec des réseaux de service après-vente à travers l’Amérique du Nord. Son application mobile regroupe l’accès à la majorité des bornes de recharge publiques du continent, permettant aux conducteurs de localiser, de lancer et de payer leurs sessions de recharge via une interface unique.


L'offre de VinFast suggère qu'à long terme, l'avenir de l'adoption des véhicules électriques au Canada pourrait de plus en plus reposer sur les constructeurs asiatiques, influencés par des marchés nationaux extrêmement concurrentiels et une culture de l'innovation rapide.


Considérées dans leur ensemble, ces mesures prises par VinFast pourraient signaler un changement plus large en cours. Alors que les incitations peuvent s'amenuiser et que le contexte tarifaire reste complexe, la trajectoire des véhicules électriques au Canada pourrait être de plus en plus influencée par des constructeurs asiatiques comme VinFast, des entreprises forgées sur des marchés nationaux exigeants et déterminées à s'inscrire dans la durée.

Original: Nouvelle année, nouvelles économies : le VinFast VF 8 s'offre des perspectives plus larges grâce à la prime à l'achat de véhicules électriques au Canada

Le VinFast VF 9, meilleure option pour les familles nombreusesMarch 30, 2026 12:27 PM
Business Wire
Alors que les familles canadiennes deviennent trop grandes pour les petits VUS, le VinFast VF 9 offre une alternative entièrement électrique alliant espace, confort et sérénité à long terme sans souffrir les compromis habituels liés à l'achat d'un plus gros véhicule.


Il arrive un moment où un VUS compact ou intermédiaire devient insuffisant. Probablement parce que la famille s'agrandit. Les longs trajets sont peut-être plus fréquents. Ou peut-être souhaitez-vous simplement davantage de confort sans pour autant passer à un véhicule surdimensionné et énergivore.


C’est généralement le moment où les acheteurs commencent à s’intéresser aux VUS pleine grandeur. Le problème, c’est qu’au Canada, opter pour un plus gros véhicule se traduit habituellement par des factures d'essence plus élevées et davantage de compromis de durabilité.


Le VinFast VF 9 aborde cette montée en gamme sous un angle différent.


Ce SUV 100 % électrique à trois rangées offre l'espace recherché par les familles, sans les inconvénients habituels des modèles à essence. Dans un segment où les véhicules électriques pleine grandeur restent peu nombreux, celui-ci mérite un peu plus d'attention, surtout maintenant que la demande augmente en véhicules moins polluants et en factures d'essence allégées.


L'espace est la première chose qui saute aux yeux en montant à bord du VF 9 et que l'on constate son espace impressionnant (201,4 x 88,7 x 66,8 pouces) et son empattement (124 pouces). Ses trois rangées permettent d'accueillir confortablement six ou sept personnes, et contrairement à la plupart des VUS, la troisième rangée n'est pas qu'un simple ajout.


La capacité de remorquage peut atteindre 1 653 lb (remorque non freinée) ou 3 968 lb (remorque équipée de freins).


« Ce qui change, c’est qu’on n’a plus besoin d'intervenir pour savoir comment tout le monde s'installe », explique Peter Annell, l'un des premiers conducteurs, en Colombie-Britannique. « Tout le monde a de la place, même sur les longs trajets. »


Peter Annell apprécie particulièrement les sièges capitaine de la deuxième rangée, livrés avec ventilation et massage. C’est le genre d’équipement généralement réservé aux véhicules de luxe haut de gamme, mais ici, il est intégré à un aménagement pensé pour les familles.


Que ce soit pour transporter de l'équipement de hockey, des bagages pour un week-end ou toutes vos courses, le VF 9 est conçu pour tout faire rentrer sans vous obliger à choisir entre passagers et espace de rangement. De plus, vous n'aurez quasiment jamais à vous soucier de la place dans le coffre, grâce à un volume de 212 litres (7,4 pieds cubes) si la troisième rangée de sièges est relevée et de 926 litres (32,7 pieds cubes) lorsqu'elle est rabattue.


Ensuite vient l'expérience de conduite globale. Les véhicules électriques ont déjà un avantage en matière de souplesse de conduite, mais l'effet est encore plus marqué dans un véhicule de cette taille. L'habitacle reste silencieux, l'accélération est instantanée et les longs trajets deviennent moins fatigants.


Avec sa transmission intégrale et sa puissance pouvant atteindre 402 chevaux, le VF 9 offre une puissance largement suffisante pour la conduite sur autoroute et en conditions hivernales. Son autonomie, pouvant atteindre 518 kilomètres par charge complète, en fait le véhicule idéal pour les trajets quotidiens de la semaine et les voyages interurbains occasionnels.


« On n’a pas l’impression de conduire un gros VUS, sans pour autant avoir l’impression de flotter », a souligné Liam Morin, un professionnel des TI établi au Québec. « Il est réactif, tout en restant confortable. Trouver le bon équilibre n'est pas chose facile. »


À l'intérieur, un grand écran tactile central de 15,6 pouces remplace en grande partie les boutons traditionnels, tandis que des matériaux haut de gamme et des portes à fermeture douce confèrent une ambiance plus raffinée. L'habitacle est conçu pour faciliter les trajets, qu'il s'agisse d'un trajet court pour emmener les enfants à l'école ou d'une longue journée sur la route, notamment grâce à l'ajout de services, comme Sony RIDEVU, pour les longs trajets, qui donne accès à quantité de films, de séries et de diffusions en direct.


Bien sûr, pour de nombreux Canadiens, passer à un véhicule électrique suscite encore quelques réserves. Les questions concernant l'autonomie de la batterie, l'entretien et la fiabilité à long terme sont fréquentes, surtout pour un segment plus récent comme celui des gros VUS électriques.


VinFast tente de réduire autant que possible ces hésitations, grâce à une approche à la fois rassurante et pratique : une garantie de 10 ans ou 200 000 kilomètres sur le véhicule et une garantie de 10 ans sans limitation de kilométrage sur la batterie.


« Cette couverture a été un facteur déterminant », a déclaré Morin. « J’ai acheté ce véhicule en partie pour la sérénité qu'il offre à long terme. »


Au-delà de la garantie, l'entreprise s'est attachée à simplifier l'utilisation du véhicule. L'application VinFast connecte les conducteurs à un vaste réseau de bornes de recharge publiques en Amérique du Nord, facilitant ainsi la planification des itinéraires et l'utilisation quotidienne. Une assistance routière 24 h/24 et 7 j/7 est également disponible, offrant une sérénité supplémentaire aux nouveaux conducteurs de véhicules électriques.


Avec un prix de départ tout compris de 77 308 dollars canadiens, le VF 9 s'appuie sur de solides arguments, tant en théorie qu’en pratique. Son espace, son design raffiné et son efficacité électrique redéfinissent les standards des véhicules électriques pleine grandeur de cette catégorie.

Original: Le VinFast VF 9, meilleure option pour les familles nombreuses

La hausse des prix de l'essence plaide en faveur du VinFast VF 8March 26, 2026 10:25 AM
Business Wire
La hausse du prix de l'essence et le renouvellement des aides à l'achat de véhicules électriques sont en train de bouleverser le marché automobile canadien. Pour de nombreux conducteurs, le VinFast VF 8 pourrait arriver à point nommé.


Les automobilistes canadiens voient une nouvelle fois les prix grimper à la pompe. Début mars, le prix moyen de l'essence s'élevait à environ 1,41 $ le litre dans tout le pays, contre un peu plus de 1,32 $ à peine une semaine auparavant, certaines régions enregistrant des hausses de près de 15 cents1. Des provinces comme la Colombie-Britannique et le Québec se situent déjà bien au-dessus de la moyenne nationale. Les analystes s'attendent à ce que les prix restent élevés pendant des semaines, voire des mois, à mesure que les mélanges saisonniers de carburant et les pressions sur l'offre mondiale se font sentir.


Historiquement, dans des moments comme celui-ci, les automobilistes remettent souvent en question les choix qu'ils font en matière de véhicules. Pendant la crise pétrolière des années 1970, par exemple, les petites voitures ont connu un regain de popularité2. Lorsque les prix du carburant ont de nouveau augmenté au milieu des années 2000, les consommateurs se sont tournés vers les véhicules hybrides et compacts. Le schéma se répète : la hausse des coûts du carburant pousse les gens vers toute option qui promet un soulagement.


Aujourd’hui, cependant, il existe une alternative véritablement différente et meilleure : les véhicules électriques. Au lieu de payer le prix affiché chaque matin sur les panneaux routiers, les propriétaires de véhicules électriques puisent leur énergie dans le réseau, généralement à un coût bien plus stable. La recharge s’effectue souvent à domicile pendant que les propriétaires dorment, faisant discrètement disparaître les passages à la station-service de la routine hebdomadaire.


« Une fois que vous passez à l'électrique, vous ne pensez plus du tout au prix de l'essence », explique David, un navetteur de Toronto qui a remplacé son SUV à essence par un véhicule électrique l'année dernière. « Vous le branchez la nuit, vous vous assurez qu'il se recharge, et le matin, la voiture est prête. »


Parallèlement, la politique gouvernementale a une fois de plus créé des conditions favorables au passage à l'électrique. Le programme fédéral « Incentives for Zero Emission Vehicles » offre des remises pouvant atteindre 5 000 $ sur les modèles éligibles, réduisant ainsi le coût initial pour les acheteurs qui font le changement.


Parmi les modèles de véhicules électriques au Canada éligibles aux incitations fédérales figure le VinFast VF 8, un SUV électrique de taille moyenne qui se situe dans la fourchette de remise et dont le prix de départ est d’environ 53 600 $ CA, soit un montant inférieur au prix moyen national d’un véhicule neuf. En combinant ces incitations avec les aides et crédits provinciaux disponibles, les clients canadiens peuvent bénéficier d'un total de remises et d'économies pouvant atteindre 18 000 $. Cela ramène le prix de départ effectif du VinFast VF 8 à environ 35 070 $ après application des crédits admissibles.


Les calculs pratiques viennent étayer cet argument.


Supposons qu'un conducteur canadien type parcourt environ 20 000 kilomètres par an. Un SUV à essence comparable, avec une consommation moyenne de 9,8 litres aux 100 kilomètres, consommerait environ 1 960 litres par an. Avec un prix moyen de l'essence d'environ 1,41 $ le litre, cela représente environ 2 764 $ de frais de carburant chaque année.


Un SUV électrique comme le VF 8 consomme environ 28,7 kWh aux 100 kilomètres. Sur la même distance, cela équivaut à environ 5 740 kWh. Avec un prix moyen de l'électricité d'environ 0,12 $ par kWh au Canada, les coûts de recharge annuels s'élèvent à environ 689 $. La différence représente une économie annuelle d'environ 2 075 $.


Ces économies s'accumulent au fil du temps, d'autant plus que les prix du carburant fluctuent. Les conducteurs de véhicules électriques évitent également les dépenses courantes telles que les vidanges d’huile et plusieurs opérations d’entretien liées au moteur.


Le VF 8 répond également à une hésitation courante chez les acheteurs de véhicules électriques novices : la fiabilité à long terme. VinFast offre une garantie de 10 ans ou 200 000 kilomètres sur le véhicule, ainsi qu’une garantie de 10 ans sans limitation de kilométrage sur la batterie dans des conditions normales d’utilisation, une couverture qui dépasse ce qu’offrent de nombreux constructeurs automobiles.


Pour Patrick, propriétaire québécois, cette garantie a joué un rôle décisif. « La garantie de 10 ans me donne l’impression d’avoir un filet de sécurité qui me permet d’essayer quelque chose de nouveau », a-t-il déclaré après avoir acheté son VF 8.


L’accès à la recharge s’est également considérablement amélioré ces dernières années. Grâce à des applications intégrées et à des partenariats avec des réseaux existants, les conducteurs de VinFast peuvent se connecter à plus de 100 000 bornes de recharge publiques à travers l’Amérique du Nord, ce qui atténue les inquiétudes liées aux longs trajets.


Dans l’ensemble, les étoiles semblent s’aligner en faveur des véhicules électriques. Les prix du carburant remontent, les incitations reviennent sur le tapis, et les véhicules électriques deviennent chaque année plus pratiques et plus accessibles. Pour les Canadiens qui envisagent l’achat d’un nouveau véhicule, c’est peut-être le moment d’envisager sérieusement de passer à l’électrique, peut-être avec un VinFast VF 8.

Les points forts de la conférence téléphonique sur les résultats de VinFast soulignent une vision rigoureuse, gage de pérennité au CanadaMarch 23, 2026 2:45 PM
Business Wire
La dernière conférence téléphonique sur les résultats de VinFast a mis en évidence non seulement des livraisons record, mais aussi une volonté plus marquée de réduire les coûts de production et de développer ses capacités de fabrication de manière plus réfléchie, des mesures qui pourraient contribuer à consolider sa présence à long terme sur des marchés tels que le Canada.


Pour chaque constructeur automobile ayant survécu jusqu’à aujourd’hui, il y a généralement un moment dans son histoire qui marque un tournant dans son mode de fonctionnement. Ce point d’inflexion tient rarement à un produit en particulier, mais plutôt à la capacité de l’entreprise à produire de manière constante à grande échelle et à créer une dynamique suffisante pour assurer sa pérennité.


Les derniers résultats de VinFast suggèrent que l'entreprise pourrait approcher d'une étape similaire.


L'entreprise a livré près de 197 000 véhicules électriques à l'échelle mondiale au cours de l'année, soit plus du double de son total de 2024. Le quatrième trimestre à lui seul a représenté plus de 86 000 unités, sa meilleure performance trimestrielle à ce jour. Le chiffre d'affaires a plus que doublé d'une année à l'autre pour atteindre environ 3,6 milliards de dollars américains.


Cette croissance s'explique par plusieurs facteurs. La production s'est intensifiée, de nouveaux modèles sont venus élargir la gamme et les marchés internationaux ont commencé à apporter une contribution plus importante. Les livraisons à l'étranger ont, pour la première fois, atteint environ 18 % du total au quatrième trimestre, avec une première percée en Inde, en Indonésie et aux Philippines.


« 2025 a été une nouvelle année marquante pour VinFast, mais surtout, ce fut une année d’investissements rigoureux au service de notre mission principale : rendre la mobilité électrique et les déplacements durables accessibles à tous », a déclaré Mme Thuy Le, présidente de VinFast, dans un communiqué de presse.


En 2025, VinFast a ajouté de nouvelles unités de production en Inde et en Indonésie, en plus de ses usines préexistantes au Vietnam, portant la capacité totale de production à environ 600 000 véhicules par an. Cela permet d’augmenter la production sans nécessiter de nouveaux investissements à chaque étape, tout en facilitant l’entrée sur de nouveaux marchés.


Au cours de l'année écoulée, VinFast a également clarifié la structure de sa gamme de produits. Plutôt que de miser sur un seul modèle phare, l'entreprise a diversifié ses priorités pour couvrir différents cas d'utilisation, de la propriété individuelle à la gestion de flottes. Elle opère désormais selon une structure en trois volets plus claire : la gamme VF pour les véhicules de tourisme, la marque Green pour les applications commerciales et la marque Lac Hong ciblant le segment ultra-luxueux.


Pour des marchés comme le Canada, ces évolutions sont de bon augure. L'augmentation de la production, l'expansion des capacités et l'organisation de la gamme de produits indiquent qu'une entreprise se dote des ressources et de la profondeur opérationnelle nécessaires pour rester sur le marché. Du point de vue des consommateurs, cette capacité à s'ancrer durablement peut contribuer à renforcer la confiance au fil du temps.


À l'avenir, l'accent semble passer de l'expansion au perfectionnement.


« Pour 2026 et au-delà, l'échelle et l'optimisation des coûts unitaires restent les principaux leviers de notre chemin vers la rentabilité », a déclaré Mme Thuy.


Cette évolution est déjà visible dans la manière dont les véhicules et les usines sont repensés. La plateforme de nouvelle génération de VinFast réduit le nombre de composants et permet le partage de pièces entre les modèles. Sa nouvelle architecture électrique et électronique regroupe les unités de contrôle et simplifie le câblage, contribuant ainsi à réduire à la fois les coûts des matériaux et la complexité de l'assemblage.


Du côté des usines, l’automatisation est renforcée grâce à des partenariats au sein de l’écosystème Vingroup, notamment avec VinRobotics. Ces systèmes prennent en charge des tâches telles que le contrôle qualité, l’assemblage et la surveillance de la production, contribuant ainsi à améliorer la cohérence tout en réduisant les interventions manuelles.


Dans l’ensemble, ces changements mettent moins l’accent sur la simple augmentation de la production et davantage sur la manière dont cette production est réalisée. Ils déterminent la façon dont les véhicules sont construits, dont les coûts sont gérés et dont les améliorations peuvent être déployées efficacement sur l’ensemble de la gamme.


Pour 2026, VinFast s'est fixé un objectif d'au moins 300 000 livraisons de véhicules électriques, soutenu en grande partie par les capacités et les systèmes déjà en place.


L'orientation n'a pas changé, mais la voie à suivre se précise. La croissance se poursuit, l'accent étant désormais davantage mis sur la manière dont elle est gérée et maintenue.

Le VinFast VF 8 et ses nombreux modes intelligentsMarch 18, 2026 9:12 PM
Business Wire
Conçue pour accompagner les moments de la vie quotidienne, le VinFast VF 8 allie des modes intelligents, des technologies intuitives et un accompagnement à long terme pour faire de la conduite électrique une expérience pratique, confortable et étonnamment personnalisée.


Lorsqu’on lui demande ce qu’elle préfère dans le VinFast VF 8 Plus, Sarah, une habitante du Québec, répond sans hésiter : le « Pet Mode ».


Lorsque cette fonction est activée, la climatisation reste en marche même lorsque le véhicule est verrouillé. L’écran central rassure les passants avec un message indiquant : « Ne vous inquiétez pas ! La climatisation est toujours en marche pour assurer le confort de mon animal de compagnie. Je reviens tout de suite. » Pour Sarah, cette petite fonctionnalité lui permet de faire un saut dans un magasin pour acheter un en-cas sans emmener son chien de deux ans, qui a tendance à être nerveux en présence d’étrangers.


« Ce sont ces petites choses qui me font aimer encore plus mon VF 8 », dit-elle.


Pour Tom, un passionné de camping qui est récemment passé à un VF 8 après avoir conduit un véhicule à moteur thermique pendant deux décennies, le mode Camp, qui porte bien son nom, semble presque fait sur mesure. Une fois activé, le VF 8 maintient les feux de stationnement LED allumés et ne consomme qu’un minimum d’énergie de la batterie pour alimenter le système audio, créant ainsi une ambiance détendue pour les soirées en famille en plein air.


Mieux encore, il n’y a ni bruit de moteur ni gaz d’échappement. « J’adore l’odeur de l’herbe fraîche le matin », explique Tom. « Le mode Camp me permet d’en profiter. »


Les modes Pet et Camp ne sont que deux exemples parmi les modes intelligents disponibles sur les véhicules VinFast. D’autres, comme le mode Valet et le mode Wash, sont conçus pour adapter le véhicule à des situations spécifiques, réduisant ainsi les petits tracas et vous facilitant un peu la vie.


Dans leur ensemble, ces fonctionnalités reflètent une vision plus large qui est au cœur de la philosophie centrée sur le client de VinFast, une philosophie qui a façonné la marque depuis ses débuts jusqu’à son ascension au rang de marque automobile la plus vendue sur son marché d’origine, le Vietnam. Rien qu’en décembre, VinFast a enregistré le chiffre d’affaires mensuel le plus élevé jamais atteint par un constructeur automobile dans le pays, avec 27 649 véhicules électriques livrés.


Outre ses modes intelligents, le VF 8 offre une large gamme de fonctionnalités conçues pour le confort et la connectivité au quotidien. L'habitacle s'articule autour d'un écran tactile personnalisable de 15,6 pouces prenant en charge les mises à jour en direct, garantissant ainsi l'évolution continue du système au fil du temps. Des options de divertissement telles que Sony RideVu, qui donne accès à plus de 2 000 films issus du catalogue de Sony Pictures, permettent de profiter de contenus en streaming à bord du véhicule, tandis que des services intelligents permettent aux conducteurs de gérer certains aspects de leur vie personnelle ou professionnelle sans détourner leur attention de la route. L’assistance mains libres optimisée par Amazon Alexa ajoute encore plus de commodité à chaque trajet.


L'application compagnon de la VF 8 simplifie encore davantage la vie des propriétaires en connectant les conducteurs à environ 95 % des bornes de recharge publiques en Amérique du Nord, supprimant ainsi la nécessité de jongler entre plusieurs plateformes tout en essayant de profiter du trajet.


La sécurité et la tranquillité d'esprit sont tout aussi essentielles à l'expérience. Le VF 8 est équipé d'une suite complète de systèmes avancés d'aide à la conduite, ainsi que de 11 airbags stratégiquement placés. Ceux-ci comprennent des airbags frontaux à double niveau pour le conducteur et le passager, des airbags genoux, des airbags latéraux et des airbags latéraux intégrés aux sièges, qui fonctionnent tous ensemble pour protéger les occupants.


Tout cela s'accompagne de l'une des garanties les plus solides du secteur. Le VF 8 bénéficie d'une garantie véhicule de 10 ans ou 200 000 kilomètres, associée à une garantie batterie de 10 ans sans limitation de kilométrage en utilisation normale. Il s'agit d'un niveau de couverture que peu de concurrents, même les plus établis, peuvent égaler, et qui témoigne directement de la confiance de VinFast en son produit.


Des modes bien pensés qui prennent soin des animaux de compagnie et des familles au soutien à long terme pour les propriétaires, le VF 8 montre comment la philosophie centrée sur le client de VinFast se traduit en expériences concrètes du quotidien. Elle rappelle également qu’une bonne voiture ne doit pas nécessairement provenir d’une marque établie de longue date. Parfois, prêter attention aux petits détails suffit à transformer la technologie en quelque chose que les gens apprécient sincèrement.

VinFast Reports Preliminary and Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial ResultsMarch 16, 2026 10:43 AM
PR Newswire (US)

SINGAPORE, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VinFast Auto Ltd. ("VinFast" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: VFS), a pure-play electric vehicle ("EV") manufacturer with the mission of making EVs accessible to everyone, today announced its preliminary and unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. 







EV deliveries were 86,557 in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 127% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 63% increase year-over-year. Among those, the commercial models under the Green brand and the EC Van model accounted for approximately 49% of total deliveries during the period. International markets maintained strong growth momentum, contributing for the first time approximately 18% of the total vehicle deliveries in a quarter.For the full year 2025, the Company delivered 196,919 EVs globally, representing a 102% increase year-over-year. The full year delivery result exceeded management's 2025 delivery guidance of at least doubling full year 2024 deliveries of 97,399 EVs and marked VinFast's highest annual deliveries since its inception.E-scooter and e-bike deliveries were 171,962 in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 43% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 452% increase year-over-year. For the full year 2025, the Company delivered 406,498 e-scooters and e-bikes, representing a 473% increase year-over-year.Revenue Maintains Strong Growth Momentum, Profit Margins Improve SignificantlyAs a result, total revenues were VND 39,411.7 billion (US$1,568.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 138.9% from the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase of 117.7% from the third quarter of 2025.Total revenues were VND 90,427.6 billion (US$3,599.7 million) in 2025, representing an increase of 105.4% from 2024.Gross margin was negative 39.9% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to negative 79.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and negative 56.2% in the third quarter of 2025. The improvement in gross margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2025 reflects the benefits of scale and a more optimized cost structure.Gross margin was negative 42.5% in 2025, compared to negative 57.4% in 2024.As of December 31, 2025, customers can purchase VinFast EVs from 424 showrooms globally.Madame Thuy Le, Chairwoman of VinFast, said: "2025 was another landmark year for VinFast – but more importantly, it was a year of disciplined investment behind our core mission: making electric mobility and sustainable journey accessible to everyone. Every strategic decision we make is anchored to that objective, including investing in technology, industrial capabilities, and global expansion. For 2026 and beyond, scale and unit cost optimization remain the primary levers in our path to profitability. These will be supported by strategic investments to expand overseas capacity, the commercialization of our next-gen vehicles, and collaboration with partners from within Vingroup's ecosystem and other established players to further integrate the use of Artificial Intelligence inside our EVs and factories to ultimately lower the total cost of ownership for our customers." Ms. Lan Anh Nguyen, Chief Financial Officer of VinFast, added: "Our 2025 results reflect a focus on accelerating revenue growth while improving operating efficiency over time. By exceeding our 2025 guidance while only operating our flagship factory at roughly two-thirds capacity during the year, we have demonstrated our ability to scale more efficiently. The fourth quarter of 2025 reflected the strongest financial performance we have delivered to date, with several key metrics reaching new highs as we begin to see early benefits of scale." Product Expansion and Progress Across MarketsProduct Expansion:VinFast has completed the strategic launch of its EV portfolio under three distinct brands, each with a clear market focus and identity:VF - Mid- to high-end EVs designed to meet everyday mobility needs, delivering safety, durability, and advanced technology for customers. The brand is built on three core pillars: high-quality products, inclusive pricing, and outstanding after-sales policies. The VF lineup features a diverse range of models spanning from VF 3 to VF 9, including the seven-seat MPV, VF MPV 7.Green - EV solutions for commercial applications focused on optimizing fleet utilization and operational efficiency, featuring models such as Limo Green, Herio Green, Nerio Green, and Minio Green.Lac Hong - An ultra-luxury EV brand reflecting Vietnamese design, hospitality and craftsmanship. The collection includes Lac Hong 900 LX introduced in 2025, and two new models - the Lac Hong 800S and Lac Hong 900S - both unveiled in March 2026 and expected to launch in 2027.Two seven-seat MPV models have been launched to address distinct customer segments. Limo Green, launched in early 2025, targets B2B and corporate fleet operators, while the VF MPV 7, launched in January 2026, is designed for individual consumers and families. Both models are planned for rollout across VinFast's key Asian markets.The next generation of the VF 6 and VF 7 is expected to commence start of production ("SOP") in the second half of this year.The Limo Green, VF MPV 7, and the next generation of the VF 6 and VF 7 are designed to deliver lower bill-of-materials costs through reduced component count and simplified system design enabled by VinFast's new vehicle platform and next-generation electrical and electronic ("E/E") architecture. Achieved Top-5 BEV Market Positions Across Key Markets:In Vietnam, VinFast maintained a leading position in the automotive market, ending 2025 with an estimated 36% market share compared to approximately 22% in 2024. VinFast also ended the year as the leading e-scooter brand in Vietnam.In other key Asian markets such as India, Indonesia, and the Philippines, VinFast continues to expand its market share and strengthen its market position through a diverse product lineup, a comprehensive ecosystem, and an ever-growing network of dealerships, service workshops, and partners.In India, VinFast made steady progress, based on Vahan registrations among battery EV brands, climbing from No.8 in October 2025 to No.4 in December 2025 despite only beginning vehicle sales in September 2025, and has maintained its position since then through February 2026.In Indonesia, VinFast ended 2025 as the No.3 BEV brand according to the Association of Indonesia Automotive Industries (GAIKINDO).In the Philippines, VinFast ended 2025 as the No.2 BEV brand according to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc (CAMPI).Manufacturing Milestones:The Company's manufacturing utilization and operational efficiency continued to improve at its largest plant in Hai Phong, Vietnam. The facility celebrated the 200,000th EV of the year rolling off the assembly line on December 31, 2025, and produced nearly 26,000 EVs in December 2025 alone.In June 2025, VinFast officially inaugurated the VinFast Ha Tinh electric vehicle manufacturing plant in the Vung Ang Economic Zone, less than seven months after the project was initiated.In August 2025, VinFast inaugurated its first overseas factory with the opening of its Tamil Nadu plant in India. In December 2025, VinFast opened its second overseas factory in Subang, Indonesia.As of Dec 31, 2025, VinFast operates four facilities globally with a combined maximum annual capacity of approximately 600,000 EVs, consisting of 300,000 EVs p.a. in Hai Phong and 200,000 EVs p.a. in Ha Tinh (Vietnam), 50,000 EVs p.a. in Indonesia, and 50,000 EVs p.a. in India. The Company also manufactures e-scooters in Hai Phong with an annual capacity of approximately 500,000 units.Smart manufacturing is central to the Company's longer-term profitability. Within the Vingroup ecosystem, VinFast is working closely with an affiliated company, VinRobotics, which focuses on the development of intelligent robotics, automation systems and physical AI technologies for industrial applications. VinRobotics' platform includes industrial humanoid robots and AI-enabled automation layers designed to operate in complex factory environments, enabling higher levels of automation and productivity. VinFast's collaboration with VinRobotics focuses on improving factory productivity, quality control and operational efficiency, supporting higher utilization and increased automation as production volumes scale, and contributing to structural improvements in the Company's cost base.Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ("ADAS") progress:Following VinFast's roadmap from ADAS Level 2+ ("L2+") and Level 2++ ("L2++") toward Level 4 ("L4"), the Company plans to expand robocar trials to major cities and selected international markets. VinFast views L4 as strategic optionality, while remaining disciplined on capital deployment in the near term. VinFast is pursuing a capital-efficient approach through an in-house ADAS research institute while working with select external partners for L4.VinFast is collaborating with Tensor, a pioneering AI company developing personally owned L4 autonomous robocars, as the manufacturing and industrialization partner for Tensor's robocar program. Fully functional prototypes for the program have already been tested by Tensor in multiple regions. The program is currently in the pre-production phase and is being advanced toward commercialization. VinFast is also engaged in discussions with various technology and mobility companies on robotaxi development.The Company will continue to make strategic investments aimed at developing core technologies across its vertically integrated technology stack including a roadmap for ADAS L2+ to L4, smart services software and domain/zonal architecture. At the same time, we will continue to collaborate with strategic technology partners, both externally and within the broader Vingroup R&D ecosystem. Conference CallThe Company's management will host its fourth quarter 2025 earnings conference call at 8:00 AM U.S. Eastern Time on March 16, 2025.

VINFAST STRUCTURES ITS AUTOMOTIVE PORTFOLIO INTO THREE STRATEGIC BRAND LINES, UNVEILS TWO NEW ULTRA-LUXURY MODELSMarch 3, 2026 8:43 AM
PR Newswire (US)

IRVINE, Calif., March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VinFast announced the completion of its strategic structuring into three automotive brand lines and officially unveiled two new flagship ultra-luxury models: the Lac Hong 800S and the Lac Hong 900S. The two vehicles join the Lac Hong line - VinFast's ultra-luxury marque - alongside its established VF mass-market passenger vehicle range and Green commercial mobility brand.







Under this clearly defined brand structure, Lac Hong represents the pinnacle of ultra-luxury, conceived to honor national pride and currently comprising the 900 LX, 900S and 800S models. The VF line encompasses a comprehensive portfolio of mass-market passenger EVs across segments, from VF 3 to VF 9, including the seven-seat VF MPV 7. Meanwhile, the Green brand is purpose-developed for commercial and service mobility solutions, featuring models such as Limo Green, Herio Green, Nerio Green and Minio Green.Alongside the structured and clearly defined development of its three strategic brand lines, VinFast has officially unveiled two new ultra-luxury models, the Lac Hong 800S and 900S. These additions expand the Lac Hong ultra-luxury collection, complementing the flagship 900 LX (including a world-leading advanced armored version) introduced in 2025.Inspired by Vietnam's cultural heritage and embodying the courage, intellect and stature of the nation, the new models deliver design and craftsmanship on par with the world's most prestigious ultra-luxury vehicles. The Lac Hong 800S projects a bold, powerful and refined aesthetic, while the Lac Hong 900S reflects timeless, classical values expressed through enduring elegance.Both models share a cohesive, brand-specific design language enriched with symbolic detailing and premium materials. The grille features straight vertical slats inspired by the resilience of Vietnamese bamboo, while the wing-shaped emblem evokes the Lac bird in ascent. Decorative motifs derived from the Dong Son bronze drum and terraced rice fields are thoughtfully integrated and intentionally repeated across exterior and interior elements, celebrating cultural heritage and national pride. Notably, the "Lac Hong" wordmark is crafted in a calligraphic style and rendered in genuine gold-plated alloy, creating a distinctive and sophisticated brand signature.Inside the cabin, the Lac Hong 800S and 900S are meticulously appointed with top-tier materials including Nappa leather, rare woods and refined gold-plated accents.Both vehicles integrate advanced intelligent technologies and comprehensive safety systems, complemented by ultra-luxury amenities such as zero-gravity executive seating, automatic power-assisted doors and premium entertainment systems from globally renowned brands. The Lac Hong 900S further enhances exclusivity with a privacy partition separating the cockpit and rear cabin, a starlight headliner, a large-format projection entertainment system and a foldable executive workstation for second-row occupants. Together, these features transform each vehicle into a sophisticated mobile environment for travel, productivity and immersive leisure.In terms of performance, both models are equipped with an all-new fully active suspension system engineered to deliver exceptional ride comfort and dynamic stability. They can be configured with a tri-motor powertrain comprising one front motor and two rear motors, generating a combined output of up to 460 kW and ensuring commanding performance aligned with their ultra-luxury positioning.The Lac Hong 800S and 900S are scheduled for commercial launch in 2027.Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Automotives at VinFast, stated: "Following a period of accelerated growth - achieving the No.1 position in Vietnam and establishing our presence in key regional markets - the completion of our three-brand structure lays the foundation for our next phase of development: structured, professional and breakthrough-driven. The Lac Hong 800S and 900S stand as further proof of VinFast's technological mastery, product development capability and advanced manufacturing expertise. We believe products created by Vietnamese intellect, craftsmanship and resilience not only inspire national pride but also convey a powerful message about Vietnam's cultural heritage and technological stature in this new era of global advancement."To date, VinFast has developed and introduced more than 15 electric vehicle models and has maintained an undisputed leadership position in Vietnam for the past 16 consecutive months. In 2025 alone, the Company set a national sales record with 175,099 vehicles delivered in Vietnam, further solidifying its status as the country's most beloved automotive brand./.

Alors que l'achat de véhicules électriques se normalise, VinFast propose des garanties inégalées dans le secteurFebruary 2, 2026 10:42 AM
Business Wire
Alors que les incitations diminuent et que les acheteurs deviennent de plus en plus prudents, les constructeurs automobiles sont jugés sur les coûts, le service et l'assistance à long terme. L’approche de VinFast axée sur la garantie indique un changement de paradigme dans la manière dont les véhicules électriques sont vendus.


Pendant la majeure partie de sa vie d'adulte, Marc Tremblay, 40 ans, a conduit des voitures à essence parce que c'était tout simplement la norme. Il est passé par une séquence habituelle : une berline compacte, puis un VUS au fur et à mesure que sa famille grandissait, ainsi que des réparations occasionnelles et un entretien de routine. Alors quand il a commencé à envisager l'acquisition d'un véhicule électrique, ce n'était pas par enthousiasme : il voulait réduire les coûts de carburant et simplifier l’entretien, mais il hésitait à plonger tête baissée dans ce qui lui semblait être un « territoire inexploré ».


Ce qui a finalement attiré son attention était une politique d'un constructeur non pas américain ni européen, mais du vietnamien. Ce constructeur était VinFast, avec sa garantie de 10 ans sur le véhicule. Marc n'avait jamais vu ce niveau de couverture sur une voiture à essence. « J’ai eu beaucoup de voitures, et aucune d’entre elles ne s’en est approchée », déclare-t-il. « Cela a certainement rendu l’achat d’un véhicule électrique beaucoup moins risqué. »


L’histoire de Tremblay reflète un changement généralisé, alors que 2026 s’ouvre sur un marché canadien des véhicules électriques qui se sent lucide. Les acheteurs prennent des décisions prudentes sur la propriété à long terme, en évaluant les véhicules électriques de la même manière que les voitures à essence : sur le prix, la fiabilité, l'accès au service et si l'achat semblera toujours judicieux des années plus tard. Dans cet environnement, des marques comme VinFast découvrent que la voie à suivre passe par l'assistance et la politique après-vente, plutôt que par le produit seul.


L'éducation est le premier point clé. Le message de VinFast s’est de plus en plus concentré sur les réponses aux questions posées par les acheteurs précoces, notamment sur le coût de possession, les performances en hiver et la méthode à suivre en cas de problème, en utilisant des explications simples sur le coût total de possession et la garantie, au lieu de tenir un discours abstrait sur l’innovation.


Mais l'éducation compte peu sans politique pour la soutenir. C'est là que VinFast a fait son pari le plus volontariste, en offrant à ses véhicules avec une garantie de 10 ans ou 200 000 kilomètres, ainsi qu'une garantie de batterie illimitée de 10 ans en utilisation normale.


VinFast tente également de rendre la propriété automobile plus abordable, au-delà du seul segment des véhicules électriques. Selon AutoTrader, le prix moyen d’une voiture neuve au Canada se situe désormais autour de 65 000 CAD1. Le VinFast VF 8, un VUS électrique de taille moyenne avec jusqu'à 412 kilomètres d'autonomie, est proposé à environ 47 206 CAD, plaçant un VUS électrique à la portée des acheteurs qui comptent chaque dollar. La réduction des coûts initiaux, combinée à la diminution des dépenses d'énergie et d'entretien, permet à l'entreprise de considérer l'adoption des véhicules électriques comme une décision financière rationnelle plutôt que comme un acte de foi.


L'accès aux services est tout aussi important au Canada, un pays défini par les grandes distances et le climat. Pour faciliter la recharge, VinFast a intégré son application mobile à environ 95 % des stations de recharge publiques en Amérique du Nord. L'application VinFast permet d'accéder à plus de 100 000 chargeurs rapides de niveau 2 et c.c., tout en permettant aux propriétaires de prendre des rendez-vous et d'appeler l'assistance routière via une interface unique. Ces détails font rarement les gros titres, mais pour de nombreux primo-acquéreurs de VE, ils sont synonymes de tranquillité d'esprit, car ils savent qu'ils pourront facilement trouver une station de recharge et communiquer rapidement avec l'équipe d'assistance en cas de difficulté.


Alors que les incitations s'estompent et que le marché achève sa phase d'adoption précoce, les véhicules électriques au Canada seront moins vendus sur des promesses et davantage sur des preuves. L’accent mis par VinFast sur la politique après-vente, la durée de la garantie et la transparence totale des coûts offre aux autres constructeurs un schéma directeur sur la manière d'appréhender la prochaine phase d’adoption des véhicules électriques.

VFS 10Q due 4/30

Nearing 1 year since the last post on this board lol

I see their vehicles on the road in Toronto... No interest for VINFAST on this board aye.... since 2024

VFS greenshoots

VFS new 52 lo

VFS new 52 lo

VFS new 52 lo

VFS new 52 lo

VFS 10Q due 4/17

VFS new 52 lo

VFS new 52 lo

Not in VFS anymore. Electric car industry has stalled, I think.

VFS new 52 lo

Looking at their financials... They managed to sell so many cars to so many suckers in 2023, God dannnggg... and are still in losses

Lol... They will be going out the market the same way they came in 'with a bang' - when they went from a few bucks a share to 90s...

And the same goes for NIO, RIVIAN Etc etc... Every company who ramped up EV Production will crush it and probably make way for hydrogen... I believe Toyota/Honda were the last to jump on the EV Bandwagon of the idiotic lying globalists and politicians... because Asians are smart... they know EVs are not feasible nor do they make a usage case in our Electrical grids of the world...

I hear Ethiopia said:

In a statement in Addis Ababa on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, Alemu Sime, the Ethiopian Minister of Transport and Logistics, announced that the government had decided to allow only electric vehicles into the country, banning gasoline and diesel-powered cars.

Stupid... The WEF definitely paid him off to make that statement and implement the strategy... although, it depends whose grid can handle it... but try replacing your EV batteries after a few years lol... 20 - 30k...

Nissan had such a story, tesla as well...

Vfs ev cars have inherent technical design problems which cause car to breakdown on a regular basis

VFS$$$$$

you are a liar. it went up

dip dip dive

Very promising new EV car company. Factory in NC ready to produce and already have dozen or so dealers lined up with many dealer apps. in the pipeline. Cars to be targeted to budget minded new owners.

$10 price target.

Have a good day
varok

Early Barchart Top 100
https://www.barchart.com/stocks/performance/percent-change/advances?timeFrame=today&viewName=main&screener=overall&orderBy=percentChange&orderDir=desc

Every progress in getting the plant ready for production helps price per share incrementally every day until it reaches $200 like TSLA. PPS will climb up every day from today on

The North Carolina factory is set to start production in 2025 so you have time to have a child before this stock sees any gains.

Why is this dropping so fast?s at this rate, it is going to $2 soon

1) What is the project sale for fourth quarter of 2024?

2) Was big time insiders stock selling or cashing out drop stock price from $62 to $5?

This may be how company continues to self fund itself by selling its own stock to put more money into its operations?

This may be the reason unaudited reports came about to hide insiders cashing out?

What is the lowest 52 week pps for vfs. Why second and third financial reports unaudited?

not doing so hot, let's hope vfs can get their shit together before the warrants expire because as of right now, they are worthless
