VinFast Inaugurates 2nd EV Plant In Vietnam - CleanTechnica

Vietnamese automaker VinFast has launched its second electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant in the Vũng Áng Economic Zone, Hà Tĩnh Province, approximately 430 kilometers from its main Hai Phong factory. Built in under seven months, this facility is VinFast’s fifth globally and initially has an annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles. The 360,000-square-meter plant features advanced automated production lines with equipment from ABB, Dürr, Fanuc, and Siemens, and includes key manufacturing areas such as Body Welding, Painting, Assembly, Logistics, and Quality Control. Initial production will focus on compact urban EV models like the VF3, Minio Green, and EC Van, with plans to prototype and assemble additional models at this site for both domestic and export markets. VinFast is also developing four other factories worldwide. In the U.S., a major manufacturing and battery plant is underway in North Carolina, targeting 150,000 vehicles annually but delayed to 2028.
