VinFast Auto Ltd. reports developments in electric vehicles, e-scooters, e-bikes, and e-buses as a Vietnam-based automotive manufacturer and Nasdaq-listed subsidiary of Vingroup JSC. Recurring news centers on global and Vietnam delivery updates, model-level performance across the VF lineup, Green Series, and Lac Hong brand, and product coverage for vehicles such as the VF 8, VF 9, VF 3, VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, Limo Green, Minio Green, and EC Van.
Company updates also cover manufacturing scale, cost discipline, distribution expansion, charging access, warranty programs, leasing and financing policies, Canadian market positioning, and technology partnerships tied to EV adoption.
VinFast (VFS) highlighted its Canadian Certified Pre-Owned program, which offers eligible used electric vehicles inspections and manufacturer-backed support. Each vehicle undergoes a 105-point inspection, including a battery-system assessment, and receives a CARFAX history report. Factory-trained technicians recondition vehicles using genuine VinFast parts.
Eligible vehicles retain the unused portion of the transferable 10-year/200,000-km vehicle warranty; battery coverage follows applicable warranty terms. Owners also receive 24/7 roadside assistance and continued access to over-the-air software updates. VinFast paired the program details with research on EV durability and battery-care guidance.

Electric vehicle deliveries reached 70,085, up 20% sequentially and 96% year over year; approximately 11% went to markets outside Vietnam.
