Hanoi (VNA) – Automobile manufacturing, assembly, and export companies in Vietnam are actively expanding their export markets.
According to a representative from Thaco Group, in early 2025, Thaco Auto successfully exported a range of products, including 120 Kia Frontier K2500 trucks to the Middle East – a market known for its strict quality standards.
In addition, 400 Kia New Carnival bodies have been shipped to India, while 45 Peugeot Django 150cc motorcycles were delivered to Cambodia. All these products were manufactured at the Thaco Auto complex in Chu Lai, the central province of Quang Nam.
Hyundai Thanh Cong (TC Motor) is also stepping up its export efforts. TC Motor Chairman Nguyen Anh Tuan shared that after successfully exporting hundreds of Hyundai Palisade vehicles to Thailand in 2024, the company plans to further boost exports of various vehicle models to international markets in 2025, reported by Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.
The presence of made-in-Vietnam passenger cars in Thailand – a country recognised as a leading automobile production hub in Southeast Asia – marks a significant milestone and is seen as a remarkable reverse leap for Vietnam's automotive industry.
Meanwhile, VinFast, the automobile brand of billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong, continues to expand its operations, with plans to launch the VF3 model with a right-hand drive in Indonesia and other markets.
Experts have noted that automobile exports not only benefit businesses but also significantly contribute to the economy, while promoting the development of the supporting industry. This helps improve the quality of domestic vehicles, optimize production costs, and offer consumers better-quality products at more competitive prices, they added./.
