VinFast begins e-moto retail in PH
MANILA: VinFast Philippines officially launched its electric motorcycles (e-motorcycles) to cater to the demand and needs of Filipino motorists looking for a sustainable means of mobility.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
What are the three models launched?
The three models are the VinFast Viper, Evo, and Feliz II.What powers the e-motorcycles?
They use an electric motor with a swappable 1.5-kilowatt-hour battery.The introduction of the Vietnamese auto firm’s latest offerings appears timely.
With the erratic fuel prices, it will not be surprising to see Filipino motorists check out an electric two-wheeler. On that note, current electric vehicle (EV) owners could also be easier to convince, and the e-motorcycle platform might also be a gateway for future car owners to choose an electric car from the Haiphong-headquartered brand.
On that note, here is a quick look at the new models.
