For VinFast, in addition to accessing capital, VinFast can also leverage EDC’s experience in driver training and traffic safety, contributing to the building of a comprehensive electrified transportation ecosystem.

The agreement aims to increase global electric vehicle production capacity, meet the rapidly growing demand for green transportation and raise awareness of traffic safety; and affirms EDC's commitment to contributing to the green transportation revolution that is taking place strongly in the Middle East, to address environmental issues and climate change.

Ms. Le Thi Thu Thuy - Vice President of Vingroup shared: “The cooperation with strategic partners from the Middle East will open up great opportunities for Vingroup and VinFast in promoting the development of technology, infrastructure and green economy in Vietnam, while creating a solid foundation for expanding its presence internationally. We believe that the strength of the Vingroup ecosystem and our understanding of the domestic market, combined with the experience of our partners, will help the projects achieve many successes, contributing positively to sustainable development, modernizing infrastructure and improving the quality of life of Vietnamese people”.

The four areas in which Vingroup and VinFast signed MOUs with leading UAE corporations are all based on Vietnam's natural advantages in maritime economy; at the same time, they make the most of Vingroup's proven strengths in urban development, tourism, logistics services, technology and industry. Favorable cooperation conditions are a solid foundation for the success of future MOUs, contributing to ensuring sustainable connections between businesses of both sides.
