VinFast Green causes a stir, experts say: The technology-based ride-hailing market is entering a new era

The amount of deposits opened for sale is equal to the amount of sales made by the companies in the whole year.

According to VinFast car distributors, after the early sale ended, the number of customers interested in and coming to the dealers to deposit for the VinFast Green line was still very large. This also explains why after only the first 72 hours, the number of deposits for Minio Green, Herio Green, Nerio Green, Limo Green reached a huge number of 45,813.

Mr. Dinh Van Nam, a person who follows the automobile and motorbike industry, called this number “unprecedented” in Vietnam. Notably, the huge number of deposits above are non-refundable deposits, proving that “our people buy real cars”, not just for fun.

In addition to individual customers, Mr. Nam mentioned the number of more than 13,000 deposits from transportation businesses. He assessed that people are waiting for VinFast Green, especially the 7-seat MPV of VinFast for business. In the coming days, when the VinFast Green models are widely sold through GSM and showrooms, VinFast distributors, the number of deposits will certainly be much larger.

Reviewer Phung The Trong also shares this belief. He mentioned the fact that many small businesses, or even individuals, have also deposited 10-50 cars in the early sale of VinFast Green. Therefore, sales in 2025 of these car lines will certainly be very high.

“ The number 1 title should be given to VinFast. No other company can change the above results. Even VinFast's sales above are enough to be in the top 1-2 when compared to the total sales of the whole year of other companies,” said Mr. Phung The Trong.

Talking about the reason for the explosion of VinFast Green, experts mentioned 2 pairs that have "killing power" for any car buyer, which are reasonable price and great policy. In fact, the price of VinFast line alone is enough to attract a large number of users, especially the small Minio model with a listed price of only 269 million VND while Limo Green, VinFast's 7-seat MPV model, is only 749 million VND.

“ Many drivers told me that they never thought of buying a car at such a price, which means that the biggest bottleneck for car buyers, the initial investment cost, has been removed. The unprecedented openness of VinFast Green has brought results seen for the first time in the Vietnamese market,” said Nguyen Minh Trieu, a car dealer in Ho Chi Minh City.

Electric cars dominate the ride-hailing market, those who are slow will "lose"

According to Mr. Nguyen Minh Trieu, if preferential policies that benefit buyers are a short-term catalyst to create a decision to buy a car, in the long term, VinFast Green is also a "money-making" car.

He gave the example of Limo Green, a 7-seater model that many drivers call "the dream car". Compared to competitors such as Mitsubishi Xpander or Toyota Innova, VinFast's electric car has a product advantage thanks to the longest wheelbase, helping to bring a more spacious and comfortable cabin for passengers. Limo Green also has a capacity of up to 150 kW, far surpassing the two gasoline models above, and is definitely the choice of the majority of drivers because a strong engine means it is not afraid of any terrain.

Despite having a much larger engine power, fuel costs with Limo Green are the core point that conquers many drivers. “An Xpander costs at least 7-8 million/month, which means nearly 100 million VND in gasoline a year. For many drivers who drive a lot, the cost of gas doubles. If you drive Limo Green, you can save hundreds of millions of VND in fuel alone ,” said Mr. Trieu. The above savings come from the free charging policy until mid-2027. After that time, the actual cost of charging is only 1/4 of that of gasoline cars in the same segment.

In addition to the ability to "earn a living" that no other gasoline car model can compare to, Mr. Trieu also mentioned the factors that help drivers confidently spend money on VinFast Green, which is the trust in durable, quality products that have been proven by tens of thousands of car owners in the market. In addition, the system of service workshops and charging stations covering the whole country and continuing to expand at a rapid pace, helps buyers feel more confident about the maximum convenience when using electric vehicles.

“ Not only during the deposit opening period, VinFast Green will also attract a large number of customers in the near future. The service vehicle market will witness an explosion of electric vehicles in the near future ,” Mr. Trieu predicted.

With this perspective, reviewer Phung The Trong believes that the transition to electric vehicles for service vehicles is inevitable. Not only individual drivers, but also businesses will accelerate the transition because if they continue to use gasoline and oil, they will certainly not be able to compete in the current market with increasingly expensive costs. This is a reality seen in some countries around the world . " Whoever is slow to convert to electric vehicles will fall further behind and lose more," Mr. Trong assessed.
