VinFast starts construction of new EV plant in Indonesia

VinFast Auto on July 15 began work on its new electric vehicle or EV assembly plant in Subang city, West Java province of Indonesia.

The move into one of Southeast Asia's most promising EV markets is set to create numerous job opportunities for the local workforce and also underscores the company's commitment to expanding its presence in the region and supporting Indonesia's burgeoning EV industry.

With an initial investment of around 200 million USD, the plant will have an annual capacity of 50,000 vehicles.

General H. Moeldoko, Chief of Staff of the Executive Office of the Indonesian President, said VinFast's presence will not only have a positive impact on the local economy, but will also provide new job opportunities and improve the life quality for the surrounding community.

Scheduled to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2025, it will produce right-hand drive versions of VinFast's e-SUV models for the Indonesian market./.
