Yadea Celebrates a Milestone: 400,000 Electric Motorcycles Rolled Out in Vietnam

Yadea, a leading brand in electric two-wheelers, has reached a significant milestone, producing its 400,000th unit at its Bac Ninh factory in Vietnam. This achievement underscores the brand’s long-term commitment to supporting the country’s green energy transition and aligns with the government’s push for greener transportation solutions.

Setting New Production Standards at the Bac Ninh Factory

Spanning 50,000 square meters and employing approximately 400 people, the Bac Ninh factory currently produces 300,000 vehicles per year. The facility is equipped with advanced technologies, including a real-time conveyor belt system, automated assembly lines, and robotic welding, enabling the production of a vehicle in just 45 seconds.

A stringent quality control system is in place, featuring standard sample displays and error detection in each workshop, automated conveyors to minimize transportation risks, and a 100% product inspection before delivery. Partial automation is also implemented in critical production areas, such as painting and frame manufacturing, to enhance efficiency.

“Yadea’s market share in Vietnam has doubled from 10% to 20% in just two years. Vietnam has always been a crucial part of our global strategy,” said Mr. Liu Jia, General Manager of Yadea Vietnam. “With strong government encouragement, we are contributing to the shift towards green transportation and the Net Zero goal. This is why we continue to invest in expanding our production capacity, increasing localization, and enhancing R&D and community engagement.”

Demonstrating Performance and Battery Efficiency in Real-World Testing

The Bac Ninh factory is also the production hub for Yadea’s flagship models in Vietnam, including the i8, Xbull, Vekoo, and Velax. The latest versions of Vekoo and Velax are equipped with Yadea’s intelligent AIGo platform, connecting vehicles to users via the cloud and mobile apps, enhancing safety, convenience, and cost-efficiency. This shapes a smart, modern, and stylish mobility experience.

During a factory tour, Yadea conducted a real-world distance test to showcase the performance of its flagship models on actual roads. The test utilized two VoltGuard and two Velax vehicles, each equipped with different battery systems, traveling from the Yadea Bac Ninh factory (Quang Chau Industrial Park) to the Yadea Viet Thanh store in Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, encountering varied terrain and traffic conditions.

The results were impressive:

VoltGuard achieved a maximum distance of 150 km on a single charge

Velax attained a maximum distance of 170 km on a single charge

Both performances surpassed those of popular electric vehicles in the same segment. This test demonstrated Yadea’s ability to produce not just smart and connected vehicles but also long-lasting, high-performance electric motorcycles that rival gasoline-powered counterparts in efficiency, convenience, and reliability. Combined with features like mobile app connectivity, GPS tracking, and smart battery optimization, Yadea is shaping the future of green transportation in Vietnam.

Driving Forward with Increased Localization

Currently, about 10% of the Bac Ninh factory’s output is exported to markets such as Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Brazil, and Mexico. In 2024, Yadea began constructing a large-scale factory in Bac Giang, aiming for an annual production capacity of 2 million vehicles, making it the largest two-wheeler electric vehicle production base in Southeast Asia.

Locally, Yadea has achieved 60% localization of components for some models and aims to reach 90% in the future. The company also plans to establish a modern R&D center in Bac Giang to design premium electric vehicle models tailored to the preferences of Vietnamese and Southeast Asian consumers.

In the coming years, Yadea will continue to expand its R&D capabilities, foster innovation, and diversify its product portfolio to meet the evolving needs of its customers. While the electric two-wheeler market in Vietnam is growing rapidly, challenges remain, especially in shifting consumer perceptions and long-standing gasoline vehicle usage habits. Yadea is committed to addressing these barriers by working closely with stakeholders to improve infrastructure, raise community awareness, and highlight the long-term benefits of electric vehicles. These initiatives align with Yadea Group’s strategic orientation: global expansion, technological innovation, and product diversification.
