Vingroup, VinFast Aims to Shape the Future of Global Sustainable Worldwide

Vietnam’s Vingroup and its automotive arm, VinFast, are leading a transformative push toward sustainable transportation, leveraging innovation to redefine electric mobility. With the VinFast VF 8 as their flagship global offering, they aim to position Vietnam as a prominent player in the global green energy revolution.

In a world where sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, Vietnam’s Vingroup and its automotive subsidiary VinFast have emerged as pioneers in green mobility. Vingroup, a prominent Vietnamese conglomerate, has built a legacy of innovation across diverse industries, while VinFast, its trailblazing automaker, represents the group’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and shaping the future of transportation.

The culmination of Vingroup and VinFast’s green commitment is their first international offering—the VinFast VF 8—a vehicle that combines cutting-edge technology with elegant design to redefine electric vehicles (EVs) on a global scale.

A Vision for a Greener Future

Vingroup has long championed sustainability as a core principle. Across its operations, the company has prioritized eco-friendly initiatives, spearheading efforts to reduce Vietnam’s carbon footprint and advance the country’s green transition. From investments in renewable energy to fostering green technology, Vingroup is committed to creating a sustainable ecosystem that aligns with Vietnam’s Net Zero ambitions by 2050. This vision extends beyond corporate responsibility—it represents a movement aimed at embedding sustainability into every aspect of daily life.

VinFast, as Vingroup’s automotive subsidiary, exemplifies this ethos through its bold pursuit of green mobility. The company’s early milestones included the development of internal combustion vehicles, but it soon pivoted toward electric models, positioning itself as a trailblazer in Vietnam’s nascent EV industry. In a remarkably short time, VinFast achieved dominance in its home market, becoming Vietnam’s top automaker in terms of sales during the fourth quarter of last year. This rapid rise not only reflects the company’s agility but also highlights its ability to deliver high-quality, eco-conscious vehicles at scale.

VinFast VF 8: The Car to Ride the EV Wave

It’s impossible to talk about VinFast’s global journey without touching on the VF 8—the brand’s first globally available product: a sleek, state-of-the-art electric SUV. Combining advanced technology, intelligent features, and a refined aesthetic, the VF 8 caters to modern consumers seeking premium, sustainable mobility solutions. However, VinFast’s ambitions extend beyond design; the VF 8 embodies its larger commitment to making electric vehicles accessible across diverse global markets.

VinFast’s strategic focus on international expansion reflects its global aspirations. Following its success in North America and Europe, the company is now targeting the Middle East—a region traditionally associated with fossil fuels but increasingly receptive to sustainable transportation.

Recognizing the region’s growing demand for electric vehicles, VinFast has strategically planned its entry to maximize impact and establish a foothold in key markets. In  July2024, VinFast opened its first Middle Eastern dealership in Muscat, Oman, in partnership with Bahwan Automobiles and Trading (BAT). Shortly after, in October 2024, the company, together with Al Tayer Motors, inaugurated a state-of-the-art showroom in Dubai, further expanding its presence in the region.

Redefining Vietnam’s Role in Green Mobility

Beyond building cars, VinFast is transforming perceptions of Vietnam on the global stage. Through strategic collaborations, such as its recent agreements with Middle Eastern firms, the company is forging new pathways in sustainability, digital transformation, and EV development. These partnerships highlight Vingroup’s forward-thinking approach, blending global expertise with local innovation to address complex challenges.

As governments worldwide pursue ambitious climate targets, VinFast is positioning Vietnam as a key player in the EV revolution. By merging bold vision with practical innovation, Vingroup and VinFast are not just shaping the future of transportation—they are driving a movement that places Vietnam at the forefront of sustainable development.
