On March 8, 2018, Vinfast Manufacturing and Trading Co., Ltd, a member of Vingroup, announced its 36 designs for the international standard electric and mini internal combustion engine car models.
The 36 designs including 17 electric car models and 19 mini car models are given by four famous studios in the world including Ital Design, One One Lab, Pininfarina and Torino Design.

This event affirms Vinfast's goal to become Southeast Asia's leading car manufacturer with comprehensive products in the line of the internal combustion engine (sedan, SUV, hatchback) and electric vehicles.

Vinfast decides to invest strongly in electric cars to create a breakthrough in Vietnam and global automobile industries. The world’s up-to-minute leading technology would be applied to the production line in order to produce eco-friendly electric vehicles, which is in line with the latest trend and development of the world’s automobile industry.
Besides, mini cars would be developed so that a large number of people can afford the international standard automobiles.
"Electric cars are the cars of the future. With a mission as a pioneer and a desire to make a breakthrough in the automobile market, we decided to manufacture electric cars at this time. In addition, Vinfast will also manufacture mini cars alongside two models of sedans and SUVs to serve the current domestic demand," said Vingroup vice president Nguyen Viet Quang.
In order to manufacture cars under the motto “Vietnamese identity - Italian design - German technology- international standard”, Vinfast is gathering all resources, cooperating with the leading brands in the world such as Bosch, Siemens, Magna Steyr, BMW and AVL as well as expeditiously finishing the construction of the factory in Dinh Vu - Cat Hai Economic Zone in the city of Haiphong to develop safe, luxury and modern and world-class cars which would be launched in September 2019.
