With three months left in 2025, VinFast is expected to close the year with even higher sales. Commenting on the achievement, Duong Thi Thu Trang, Global Deputy CEO of Sales and Marketing, said, “Behind the figure of more than 100,000 vehicles are millions of acts of trust and support from our customers. We are deeply grateful for their confidence and remain committed to delivering ever greater value, thereby accelerating Vietnam’s green transition."
Why important for Vietnam’s auto industry?
VinFast’s milestone marks the first time a Vietnamese automaker has outperformed global brands, both electric and petrol-powered, for nearly a year straight. This achievement underscores a broader trend: electric mobility is becoming mainstream in Vietnam.
What does it mean for India?
VinFast’s success story offers a valuable reference for India’s evolving EV landscape. Much like Vietnam, India’s car market has been dominated by traditional fuel-powered models, but the rapid rise of VinFast shows how government backing, local manufacturing, and affordable small EVs can transform consumer adoption.
If replicated in India, such a strategy could help accelerate EV penetration in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Compact and accessible models like the VF 3 mirror what Indian automakers are trying to achieve with entry-level EVs such as the Tata Punch EV and Citroën eC3.
Moreover, VinFast’s achievement highlights the growing regional potential of Southeast Asia as an EV hub, opening up future possibilities for cross-market collaborations or exports to India once trade and production networks expand.
