VinFast is offering a variety of models, including the VF 5, VF e34, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9.
VinFast is planning to collaborate with local suppliers to establish a network of 5,000 charging stations.
It also plans to build a factory in Indonesia capable of producing 50,000 cars per year, according to Tran Quoc Huy, the VinFast Indonesia CEO.
“First, this is a market with a very large population of 250 million people. Second, the total output of cars sold in Indonesia has always been around 1 million cars. In addition, the Indonesian government has very supportive policies for electric vehicles through import tax policies as well as supportive transportation policies for the electric vehicle ecosystem. That is why Vinfast has invested in the Indonesian market,” said Huy.
VinFast has signed a cooperation letter of intent with 5 automobile dealers in Indonesia.
