VinFast announced its aggressive plans for expansion across the U.S. with more than 70 dealer applications in hand. Updates on dealer agreements are expected to be announced in the coming months, which should allow VinFast to start distributing its EVs through 125 points of sales nationwide.
This is a step forward affirming VinFast's commitment to expanding its business network and quickly making electric vehicles accessible to more consumers. The company is planning to distribute its electric vehicle models at hundreds of points of sales by the end of 2024, including its existing showrooms. In 2023, VinFast expects to distribute VF 8 models through its distribution network, and will continue its offerings with the VF 9, VF 6 and VF 7 when these models launch in the market.
All VinFast customers who purchase or
lease VinFast electric vehicles are eligible for VinFast’s aftersales
policies including a 10-year/125,000-mile warranty for the vehicle and
10-year unlimited mileage for the battery under non-commercial use.
Additionally,
VinFast’s Parts Distribution Centers are available to fulfill orders
from all regional markets including the U.S. and are ready to timely
support dealers’ requests. VinFast’s dealers will be able to simply
submit a request and then collect fulfillment periodically (monthly or
quarterly) or, in urgent cases, by air. This will support the high
standard of repair and maintenance services offered to VinFast
customers, regardless of distribution method.
From now until year
end, VinFast will conduct Pop-up Mobile Test drives across Austin,
Texas, and other targeted cities and states, providing local customers
with easier access to hands-on trials with VinFast EVs. Details will be
shared later via VinFast’s official channels.
As unveiled last
quarter, VinFast intends to establish broad distribution channels,
leveraging local networks and the expertise of third-party dealerships
and distribution to increase coverage in its expanding list of target
markets. The company aims for its presence in up to 50 global markets
and countries by the end of 2024.
