  • Vingroup Chairman and VinFast Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Pham Nhat Vuong gave the assurance in a recent interview with Bloomberg, expressing his confidence in the automotive marque’s capability to succeed.

    To note, Vingroup conglomerate also has various business entities in real estate, with its vast network of consumer goods, property development, shopping malls, and educational institutions.

    Vuong also said that the automaker will eventually be financially self-sufficient. “VinFast will reach break-even point soon and be able to stand on its own feet,” he said.

    While established automakers are hitting the brakes on expansion or delaying battery plant construction, the company chief remains optimistic on the future of electric vehicles.

    According to him, VinFast will open its Indian factory six months ahead of schedule — likely in the first half of next year. Within the next two months, the construction for its new Indonesian facility shall begin.

    “I’m not worried about electric vehicle sales,” he said. “The growth of electric vehicles will be inevitable,” he said.

    To recall, VinFast officially entered the Philippine market and is expected to start its retail operations soon. It shall be selling the VF e34VF 5, VF 7, and VF 9 — to be followed by the VF 3.
