The move aims to cement a cooperation agreement signed by VinFast and Petrolimex  in June 2022 to develop over 500 VinFast electric vehicle charging stations at Petrolimex’s petrol stations across the country from 2022-2023.  

Speaking at the ceremony, Director of VinFast charging station development centre Vu Thang said  VinFast and Petrolimex share a common vision on promoting the use of clean and environmentally friendly energy in order to create a green future for everyone.
