Most of VinFast’s vehicle sales so far have been in Vietnam. The company is increasing its focus on overseas markets in Asia, particularly Indonesia, the Philippines and India, as well as Europe, while delaying construction of its US plant to help manage capital expenditure. The company confirmed that as of the end of April, it had a global network of 388 stores, including wholly owned outlets and authorized dealers. VinFast’s chairperson, Le Thi Thu Thuy, said in a statement: “We are beginning to see improved operating leverage as volume growth and a streamlined footprint translate into a more efficient cost structure. Looking ahead, our next-generation EV platform and E/E architecture is intended to further BOM-cost optimisation, enhancing product quality, performance, and affordability across our lineup.”
