Hanoi (VNA) – VinFast announced on April 3 that it received more than 135,000 orders and delivered over 93,000 electric motorbikes to the market in March, marking the highest monthly sales figure in the company’s history.
Among its product range, the Evo and Feliz models proved the most popular, with more than 52,000 Evo units and over 24,000 Feliz units delivered to customers during the month. These models have also emerged as the best-selling motorbikes on the market (including petrol-powered vehicles) since the beginning of the year.
In terms of market trends, VinFast reported steady growth in demand across localities, with the highest volumes recorded in the two major cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. In the capital alone, more than 20,000 electric motorbikes were delivered to customers in March.
Despite the production capacity ramped up to its highest level to date, the number of vehicles shipped during the month still fell short of meeting strong market demand.
Hoang Ha, CEO of VinFast's electric motorbike business in Vietnam, said the record 135,000 orders last month underscored the growing and urgent demand for green mobility solutions as consumers increasingly seek to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and contribute directly to environmental protection./.
