VinFast EC Van: Capturing the Spotlight at Wholesale Markets and Stirring Buzz Among Traders

On May 26, the introduction event for the VinFast EC Van cargo vehicle attracted the attention of many traders and locals at the Nam Hanoi wholesale market (Hoang Mai, Hanoi). The outdoor space was designed with an open concept, close to the market’s goods delivery area, allowing customers to easily access and directly observe and experience the size and spaciousness of the vehicle through a 1:1 model.

VinFast EC Van attracts Hanoi traders

The Nam Hanoi wholesale market is a hub for a large number of traders and individual business households – one of the target customer groups with high demand for van and truck models, seeking compact, flexible, and cost-effective transportation solutions.

Many of them were introduced to the VinFast EC Van for the first time. The event became more lively with the presence of KOLs and interactive activities with the vehicle, along with souvenir giveaways.

VinFast EC Van’s cargo space impresses customers

Mr. Nguyen Viet Dung, owner of a furniture manufacturing company in Hanoi, was one of the customers who booked the EC Van at the event. Through information from the media, he became particularly interested in VinFast’s pure electric cargo vehicle. Mr. Dung shared that he attended the event to see the actual vehicle size, and was pleased with what he saw, so he decided to book one on the spot.

“I had researched the EC Van beforehand, so I came to the event only to see the 1:1 model and check the actual cargo space size and practicality. With the need to deliver furniture within Hanoi, covering a few dozen kilometers per day, this vehicle fits quite well, and there’s no worry about restricted hours. If the first vehicle performs well, I will order a couple more for my other branches,” said Mr. Dung.

Just as Mr. Dung assessed, the VinFast EC Van is designed to meet urban cargo transportation needs. It boasts compact dimensions (3,767 x 1,680 x 1,790 mm), the longest wheelbase in its class (2,520 mm), and a payload of over 600 kg. Its cargo volume of 2,600 liters allows for flexible transportation of various goods, from food and agricultural products to technical equipment and household appliances…

The electric motor delivers a maximum torque of 110 Nm, ensuring strong pulling power when carrying heavy loads. Additionally, the vehicle is integrated with advanced safety systems such as ABS, EBD, TCS, and ESS.

Low operating costs and early booking incentives attract buyers to the VinFast EC Van

A significant advantage that has attracted many traders is the low operating costs. With its electric motor design, the EC Van eliminates the need for engine oil changes and experiences less engine wear and tear. The vehicle offers a range of approximately 150 km on a single charge, suitable for short and frequent delivery routes. Moreover, VinFast is offering free charging for all electric vehicle owners until the end of June 2027, so those who receive their vehicles from November 2025 will benefit from fuel cost savings for about a year and a half.

“My wife and I transport vegetables from the outskirts to Hanoi daily, so the EC Van seems like a perfect fit. It’s cost-effective and convenient. We just tried stacking over a dozen boxes in the model’s cargo area, and there’s still plenty of room left,” shared Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hue, a trader at the market, after participating in the “cargo stacking” minigame at the event.

According to Mrs. Hue, the EC Van is competitively priced, making it accessible to small business owners. Starting at only VND 285 million, including the battery, it offers excellent value in the small urban cargo vehicle segment. During the early booking period from May 25 to 30, customers will receive a VND 10 million discount, deducted directly from the vehicle’s price.

With its urban-optimized design, low operating costs, and flexible sales policies, the VinFast EC Van is considered a genuine profit-generating tool for traders, business households, and those seeking a reliable means to start or expand their livelihood.
