VinFast is a rapidly emerging Vietnamese automaker, founded in 2017 as part of the Vingroup conglomerate, one of the country’s largest private enterprises. Despite being a newcomer, VinFast has quickly made a global impact with its bold ambition to become a leader in electric mobility.
Initially, the brand started with gasoline-powered vehicles designed in collaboration with renowned European partners such as Pininfarina, BMW, and Magna Steyr, blending sleek design with reliable engineering. However, VinFast soon shifted its entire focus toward electric vehicles (EVs), aiming to compete with global players like Tesla and BYD.
Its lineup now includes fully electric models such as the VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9, offering modern design, advanced technology, and long-range performance. VinFast also emphasizes sustainability through battery leasing options and eco-conscious production practices.
Headquartered in Hanoi, with manufacturing in Hai Phong, and expanding operations in the United States and Europe, VinFast represents the new face of Vietnam’s automotive future—a blend of innovation, courage, and global ambition driving the country into the era of electrification.
