Revving it up! Vietnam's VinFast has just sent out its first batch of electric cars, the VF e34, to customers.

• It is the auto arm of Vingroup, Vietnam's largest private corporation.
• It's the #1 bestseller in Vietnam for all its car segments.

⏮ Back to the start

VinFast began in 2017 with gas-powered cars as Vietnam's first local car manufacturer. In 2019, it began EV production with three e-scooters. In 2021, it launched three smart EV cars and two more e-scooters.

• Pre-orders for two of its EV car models in Vietnam began this year.

🚗 Meet the VF e34

It's developed exclusively for Vietnam with a ton of smart features. They cost $30,200 and can go as far as about 300km on a full charge.

And it doesn't matter when you buy your VinFast— you'll always get the latest features and services through FOTA (like an iPhone software update, but better!). A few below!

• Move over, Siri. Its virtual voice assistant can recognize Vietnamese accents (no matter which region!) to control the car, send texts, search and do casual Q&A.
• Safety is key. It automatically calls an ambulance during emergencies, alerts you of break-ins and suggests maintenance schedules when it senses a problem.
• Convenience. Book medical services from Vinmec and entertainment and flights on the Vinpearl app from your car. Oh, and you can shop on Shopee and watch movies too.

🛣 The road ahead

Just like you and I, VinFast is calling 2022 its year. It's set to debut an entire EV line of cars from the A, B, C, D and E segments, launch in the US and Europe and go public in the US in the same year.
