As of the end of April, VinFast had established a network of 388 stores worldwide, comprising both direct-to-consumer showrooms and authorized dealership systems.
Le Thi Thu Thuy, Chairwoman of VinFast, said: "We are beginning to see improved operating leverage as volume growth and a streamlined footprint translate into a more efficient cost structure. Looking ahead, our next-generation EV platform and E/E architecture is intended to further BOM cost optimization, enhancing product quality, performance, and affordability across our lineup."
Aiming to double vehicle deliveries this year, VinFast is focusing on key markets including Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, North America, and Europe, while also exploring new opportunities in the Middle East and Africa.
