VinFast's electric vehicles are making a significant contribution to transforming transportation in Vietnam, offering a new and appealing outlook for the country's tourism industry by aligning with "green" and sustainable trends. In terms of tourism, VinFast plays a crucial role in reducing emissions and protecting the environment through its pioneering production of clean energy vehicles. The company aims to create a sustainable future for Vietnam. VinFast provides both electric motorcycles and electric cars to meet personal transportation needs. Additionally, VinFast offers electric buses for public transport, establishing a green, modern and civilized mobility ecosystem. The widespread network of tens of thousands of VinFast car and electric motorcycle charging stations across Vietnam ensures the convenience of a green "future" for the people.
Currently, VinFast's electric motorcycle lineup consists of 8 models, the latest being the Vento, catering to a wide range of customers, from students to commuters, with various price options suitable for different income levels in Vietnam. This product line is gradually replacing gasoline motorcycles in major cities, exemplifying the prevalence of smart and community-responsible consumer trends.
Furthermore, electric buses are gaining popularity in the community, completely changing the perception of buses that were once seen as cumbersome. Many tourists prefer electric buses over traditional ones due to better services, smoother operations, and spacious interiors. The convenience and positive impact on the community have contributed significantly to VinFast's rapid success nationwide. Despite its success with gasoline models, VinFast has decided to cease production of gasoline vehicles by the end of 2022 to focus its efforts and resources on creating an electric mobility ecosystem, not only for Vietnam but also for the world.

The VF e34 marked the beginning of VinFast's era of pure electric vehicles. This C-size SUV, equipped with numerous smart features, has been delivered to numerous customers across Vietnam, earning the nickname "the seismic storm". With 25,000 orders in just 3 months, the VF e34 represents VinFast's initial success and showcases the positive reception and willingness of Vietnamese consumers to embrace positive change.
Notably, the presence of the VF e34 on tourist routes demonstrates that electric cars can fulfill all user needs and will eventually replace internal combustion engine cars completely in the near future. VinFast's electric vehicle lineup spans across all five segments, from A to E. Two models, VF 8 and VF 9, have been globally available since January 2022 and have received a positive response from foreign customers, with over 40,000 orders in just over a month.
To achieve such remarkable progress in a short period, VinFast has partnered with leading companies such as ZF, Nvidia, Applus IDIADA, HERE, Cerence, Gotion High-Tech, Bosch, among others, aiming to incorporate the best technologies when manufacturing its products. In terms of production, in addition to the 335-hectare complex in Hải Phòng, Vingroup, VinFast's parent Company, recently built a massive battery factory in Hà Tĩnh with an annual capacity of producing 100,000 battery packs. Furthermore, VinFast plans to establish an electric vehicle factory in the United States, set to commence operations by the end of 2024.
According to travel agencies, the international market's embrace of VinFast's "miracle" holds great significance in promoting Vietnam's image as a green and dynamic country that is keeping pace with global trends.
"In addition to our traditional cultural 'specialties,' we can now proudly introduce visitors to a new source of pride for Vietnam: VinFast. VinFast serves as a special travel ambassador for our beloved country. In the eyes of our international friends, Vietnam is not only a beautiful and charming destination but also a true green tourism paradise, an essential location on the world tourism map," affirmed a representative of a travel business".
