At the Geneva International Motor Show in Qatar on
Wednesday, Vietnam electric vehicle maker VinFast made its official
introduction to the Middle East market with four new revolutionary EV models.
VinFast is not only showcasing their cars at this event
outside of Switzerland, which has hosted GIMS since 1905 – but it’s also
utilizing this unique platform to research investment and partnership
opportunities in the Middle East region.
The debut of these EVs marks not only a major milestone for
VinFast but also a huge step forward for EV adoption within the region and
worldwide as well.
VinFast is Planning for a Swift Expansion in the Middle East
VinFast, the new age electric vehicle manufacturer founded
in 2017 by Vietnam-based Vingroup, is planning for a swift expansion to Middle
Eastern markets.
The strategy is based on Madam Le Thi Thu Thuy, Vice
Chairwoman of Vingroup and Global CEO of VinFast’s vision that “markets which
have experienced tremendous enthusiasm towards electric vehicles should be
given special attention from us.”
Indeed, with technology giants such as Tesla and Lucid
Motors looking to build factories in the UAE – amongst many other announcements
for EVs coming into fruition over time – the region is witnessing a significant
shift towards electrified mobility as well as exponential growth estimated to
occur within the near future.
The Qatar round of the Geneva International Motor Show was
therefore a key platform to expose Vinfast’s products to the public, as well
partnering with local investors and entrepreneurs who could explore more of
VinFast’s innovations.
