What VinFast Auto does

Vietnamese electric-vehicle maker producing EVs (cars, scooters, buses) for Vietnam and expanding into Southeast Asia and the US, backed by conglomerate Vingroup.

Most sales are in Vietnam, where companies linked to Vingroup, including the Xanh SM taxi fleet, take a large share of cars; sales abroad are smaller and loss-making. Vingroup and its founder Pham Nhat Vuong control the company and have repeatedly funded losses. It listed on Nasdaq through a SPAC merger in 2023.
