Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast handed over more than 12,100 EVs in March 2025, reaffirming its position as the top-selling car brand in Vietnam, outpacing other members of the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (VAMA), including Toyota.

The A-segment SUV VF 5 was VinFast’s best-selling model last month, with over 4,400 units delivered. It was followed by the VF 3 with more than 3,700 units. Meanwhile, the VF 6 and VF 7 recorded sales of over 1,100 and 600 units, respectively.

March also marked the official launch of pre-orders for VinFast’s Green mini EV series, distributed via GSM and authorised dealerships nationwide. Within just 72 hours, GSM received an impressive 45,813 pre-orders for the Minio Green, Herio Green, Nerio Green, and Limo Green models, setting a new domestic market record.

By the end of Q1 2025, VinFast had delivered over 35,100 electric vehicles.

Building on this momentum, the company has set a goal of doubling its EV deliveries in 2025 compared to last year’s figure of more than 87,000 units.

While maintaining its dominance in the domestic market, VinFast is also accelerating its global expansion, targeting key international markets such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and India.

It plans to put into operation manufacturing plants in Indonesia, India, and Vietnam's Ha Tinh province in 2025 as part of a broader strategy to strengthen its global presence./.
