Indonesian Media: VinFast Shapes the Future of Transportation in the Region

An anticipated debut, a bold step forward, an important milestone in the global expansion strategy, that's what the Indonesian media said about VinFast's appearance at the 2024 Indonesia International Motor Show.

"This move highlights VinFast's commitment to contributing to Indonesia's potential electric vehicle market and promoting partnerships for a sustainable transportation future in the region," Indonesia's DapurPacu magazine commented. Meanwhile, the country's Tribun Otomotif newspaper said that VinFast's commitment was clearly demonstrated by the first launch of left-hand drive electric vehicle models to the international market. Within the framework of IIMS 2024, the Vietnamese automaker said it will display a range of electric vehicles in various segments, meeting the travel needs and financial capabilities of many customer groups to bring green transportation closer to everyone, every home.

VinFast car models attract the attention of visitors to the IIMS 2024 exhibition.

" The popularity of electric vehicles in Vietnam is surpassing that of Indonesia ," Media Indonesia daily quoted Yannes Martinus Pasaribu, an automotive expert at the Bandung Institute of Technology, as saying. "That's thanks to the promotion policies of the Vietnamese government and pioneering electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast," he said. Meanwhile, the electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia is still young, infrastructure and charging stations are limited, and government incentives are not really optimal. "Vietnam can do that thanks to the active participation of the government and VinFast in the electric vehicle industry," said Yannes.

VinFast's investment contributes to promoting the dream of electrifying transportation in Southeast Asia's most populous country.

Not only making its mark in Vietnam, VinFast has also made early steps into the world. "VinFast's footprint has been expanding globally over the past two years, from the US, Canada to Europe, with the turning point being its resoundingly successful launch last year," commented Indonesian newspaper Otomotif1. "In January this year, the Vietnamese car company announced a large investment in Indonesia, including $200 million to build an electric vehicle factory, determined to expand its market share in Southeast Asia and penetrate Indonesia's potential electric vehicle market," the newspaper added. Abundant natural resources, the government's commitment to promoting the electric vehicle industry, a population of more than 250 million people with a rapidly growing domestic market are Indonesia's advantages in the global electric vehicle revolution. According to ASEN Briefing data, Indonesia is the leading nickel exporter, accounting for 22% of the world's reserves. International media reports say Jakarta wants to attract companies like VinFast in the hope of leveraging its rich natural resources to become a global electric vehicle supply hub. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese electric vehicle maker is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for green transportation and advance the dream of electrification in Southeast Asia's most populous country. " VinFast: A factor shaping the future of Southeast Asia's transportation " "VinFast's electrification vision is rooted in a modern, regionally leading automobile manufacturing complex located in Hai Phong, Vietnam with a level of automation of up to 90%," wrote Otomotif1 . As VinFast's electric vehicle ecosystem expands beyond national borders, the Hai Phong manufacturing complex will become a model for the automaker's supply chain expansion plans. VinFast's factory in Indonesia is expected to have an output of up to 50,000 vehicles per year.

According to Indonesian media, VinFast is the leading factor in the electric vehicle industry in Indonesia and the region.

Thus, not only is Indonesia a key market, it will also become an important link in VinFast's global electric vehicle supply chain. "As the demand for environmentally friendly transportation increases, VinFast's entry into the Indonesian market will contribute to increasing the supply of electric vehicles in this country," commented Motor Mouth . However, promoting the use of electric vehicles in Indonesia is only part of the picture. Local media commented that the Vietnamese automaker is contributing to sustainable transportation with a commitment to creating an environmentally friendly supply chain at many stages. According to Motor Mouth , by building environmentally friendly production facilities, VinFast is leading the automotive industry towards sustainability and innovation. "The investment in the Indonesian electric vehicle industry not only supports the local economy by creating job opportunities, but also promotes the electric vehicle revolution and contributes to a greener, cleaner future," the newspaper affirmed. “By entering Indonesia’s nascent but promising electric vehicle industry, VinFast is positioning itself to shape the future of transportation in Southeast Asia and beyond,” Motor Mouth concluded./.
