VinFast

VinFast is a Vietnamese automotive manufacturer founded in 2017 and the country's first global carmaker. The company designs and builds electric vehicles intended to be smart, safe and environmentally friendly, combining advanced technology with a focus on craftsmanship and everyday usability. It is part of Vingroup, whose thirty-year mission to change how people live underpins the business.

Headquartered in Vietnam, with a state-of-the-art manufacturing complex in Hai Phong begun in 2017, VinFast became the number one car seller in its home market within 21 months of launch. The team now works across multiple continents, and the company is targeting the world market rather than domestic sales alone.

Technical work spans electric vehicle manufacturing, automotive design and engineering, smart vehicle technology and advanced manufacturing. The stated aim is to make electric vehicles accessible to a broad market rather than a privileged few, on the premise that sustainable transport should not require compromise.

The company describes its culture as mission-driven and fast-moving, drawing on Vingroup's history while building a car company from the ground up. Employees work within a Vietnamese enterprise with a stated ambition to compete and lead in the global automotive industry.
