VinFast Auto Breaks Ground on Electric Vehicle Assembly Plant in Subang, West Java, Indonesia
The construction of this factory in one of the most promising electric vehicle markets in Southeast Asia will provide employment opportunities for the local workforce, underscoring VinFast’s strong commitment to its regional expansion strategy and its dedication to fostering Indonesia’s electric vehicle industry.
The VinFast electric vehicle assembly plant will be located in Subang, Indonesia’s new industrial powerhouse, with an initial investment of approximately $200 million. The VinFast factory is expected to have a production capacity of 50,000 units per year and will feature areas such as the Body Shop, Assembly Shop, Paint Shop, testing areas, and more.
The VinFast factory is slated to commence operations in Q4 2025 and will produce the VF 3, VF 5, VF 6, and VF 7 models with right-hand drive configurations for the Indonesian market.
This project will also generate thousands of job opportunities for locals, increase the proportion of skilled labor, significantly contribute to the economic and social development of the local community, and play a crucial role in promoting green transportation in Indonesia.
General H.Moeldoko, Head of the Indonesian President’s Office, shared: “The presence of the VinFast factory in Subang will not only positively impact the local economy but also create new employment opportunities and improve the welfare of the community. The Indonesian government strongly encourages foreign investment, especially in the automotive industry. We believe that VinFast’s presence will bring much-needed technological innovation and knowledge transfer to enhance the competitiveness of our national automotive industry.”
Mr. Temmy Wiradjaja, CEO of VinFast Indonesia, stated, “Just a few months after officially launching our brand in the market, the groundbreaking ceremony for this factory underscores VinFast’s well-planned expansion and competitiveness-enhancement strategy in Indonesia. It marks a significant milestone in our regional expansion and our conquest of the leading potential electric vehicle market. VinFast believes that this project will testify to our long-term commitment to Indonesia, contributing to the advancement of the electric vehicle industry, supporting economic growth, and improving the quality of life for Indonesians.”
VinFast has swiftly expanded its business operations and heightened brand awareness in Indonesia. The company officially launched the sale of two electric SUV models, VF 5 and VF e34 with right-hand drive configurations, inaugurated dealerships, implemented flexible sales policies, and pioneered the introduction of a unique battery leasing policy in the market.
With a long-term vision, VinFast continuously innovates and strives to become one of the leading industrial-technological brands in Southeast Asia with global influence. Despite short-term challenges in the electric vehicle industry, VinFast remains determined to expand its presence in the region, laying a solid foundation for the irreversible growth of electric mobility.
