Affordable Van Trucks Under 300 Million VND Available in Vietnam

As we step into 2025, the segment of van trucks priced around 300 million VND in Vietnam is witnessing the emergence of new, highly promising versions, poised to become effective “profit-making tools” for users.

VinFast EC Van: Pioneering Urban Green Transportation

Standing out from its gasoline-powered competitors, the VinFast EC Van (priced from 285 to 305 million VND) brings a “fresh breeze” to the electric van truck market. Its greatest advantage lies in its incredibly low operating costs, approximately one-third that of gasoline vehicles, and it is entirely exempt from registration fees. By eliminating regular maintenance tasks such as oil changes, air filter replacements, and spark plug checks, owners can save significantly on both expenses and technical management burdens.

With a maximum range of 150 km per charge, the EC Van is particularly well-suited for professional delivery units or shippers operating fixed routes within urban areas, covering around 100-120 km daily. However, to ensure efficient operation, users must have a stable charging point at home or in overnight parking areas.

SRM X30i V2 2025: Economical Choice for Limited Capital

The domestically assembled SRM X30i V2 stands out as the most prominent option in terms of pricing, ranging from 245 to 279 million VND. With a price tag 30 to 50 million VND lower than the market average and various dealership incentives, it is an optimal solution for new entrepreneurs seeking quick capital turnover.

Despite its affordability, the vehicle boasts an aesthetically pleasing design inspired by BMW and is equipped with a 1.5L engine delivering 107 horsepower. Its low maintenance costs and readily available parts make it ready for immediate operation. However, users must accept trade-offs in interior finish quality and material durability after a few years of intensive use. This model is purely designed for rapid capital recovery within the first 1.5 to 2 years.

Suzuki EECO Van: Legacy of Durability

Considered the successor to the legendary “Su Cóc” Blind Van, the Suzuki EECO Van is priced at 310 million VND. In this new generation, the Japanese automaker has better addressed user needs by equipping the vehicle with air conditioning, dual airbags, ABS brakes, and electronic stability control (ESP). These safety features were once considered luxuries in van trucks.

The EECO Van’s strengths lie in its durability, high resale value, and exceptional maneuverability in narrow alleys, thanks to a turning radius of just 4.5 meters. While its cargo space is slightly more modest compared to Chinese or domestically assembled competitors, the stability and low maintenance requirements of its 1.2L engine have won over small business owners dealing in groceries, food, or light materials, who prioritize long-term value.

Thaco Frontier TF450V: Solution for Bulky Goods

Priced between 299 and 317 million VND, the Thaco Frontier TF450V focuses on driver experience and large cargo capacity. The 2025 version has been significantly upgraded with in-cabin amenities, including an Android screen, reverse camera, and electric power steering, making long-distance driving more comfortable.

The TF450V’s standout feature is its spacious and long cargo area, paired with the most powerful engine in its class, a 1.6L unit producing 121 horsepower. It is an ideal choice for transporting bulky items such as electronics, aluminum glass, or bedding. Additionally, Thaco’s nationwide warranty network provides robust support for maintenance and repairs. However, its large size can be a challenge when navigating through narrow alleys or tight spaces in old towns.

In summary, each model in the 300 million VND range offers unique strengths tailored to specific market needs. The choice of vehicle will depend on the scale of capital, type of goods transported, and the specific travel routes of individual business owners.
