Along with the investment in ProLogium, VinFast and ProLogium will become long-term strategic partners in the future. The two companies will enter into commercial agreements to develop battery pack designs using Prologium’s proprietary solid state battery technology for VinFast.

Under the strategic cooperation arrangements, ProLogium plans to provide solid state battery cells to VinFast from 2024. Its first major solid state battery plant, expected to be ready early in 2023, will devote a significant portion of its capacity to supply VinFast.

In the future, ProLogium and Vinfast may also establish a joint venture solid state battery factory in Vietnam.

Vinfast said in a statement: “Solid state batteries are among the most promising technologies to offer advantages in terms of safety, energy density, hyper fast charging capability, recyclability, weight optimisation, costs, and lifetime.
