The milestone marks a significant step in VinFast&#8217;s international expansion of its electric two-wheeler business and reaffirms the Company&#8217;s long-term commitment to one of Southeast Asia&#8217;s largest and most dynamic motorcycle markets.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly, VinFast has signed strategic MoUs with its first partners in Indonesia, including K3, Citra Abadi Sedaya, PT Bevos Auto Mandiri, PT Sapta Jaya, MotorArt, PT Sinergies Dua Kawan, and PT HINU. These partners have long-standing experience in the distribution of automobiles and motorcycles, strong professional operational capabilities, deep market understanding, and the ability to rapidly deploy operations in line with VinFast&#8217;s standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VinFast will begin rolling out its distribution network in the Jabodetabek area \u2014 Indonesia&#8217;s largest economic and urban center \u2014 from the second quarter of 2026, with plans to expand to other regions nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Indonesia, VinFast plans to introduce a portfolio of battery-swapping e-scooters, including VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II, VinFast Flazz and VinFast Viper, alongside additional new models to be launched in due course. The product lineup has been carefully engineered and calibrated to suit Indonesia&#8217;s tropical climate, dense urban traffic conditions, and everyday commuting patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout 2026, VinFast aims to further expand its footprint to hundreds of authorized dealerships and service workshops nationwide. The Company&#8217;s development strategy in Indonesia is designed as an integrated ecosystem, combining retail and after-sales networks, financing solutions, charging and battery-swapping infrastructure through cooperation with V-Green, and partnerships with leading financial institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to this announcement, VinFast had unveiled its strategy to internationalize its electric two-wheeler business and signed agreements with dealers in the Philippines. According to its roadmap, the Company will accelerate expansion across five priority markets in 2026, namely the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Malaysia. These countries represent high-growth economies with substantial urban mobility demand and a clear transition toward sustainable transportation solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>Ms. Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of VinFast E-Scooters Overseas Market<\/em><\/strong><em>, stated:\u00a0&#8220;Indonesia is a strategic market in VinFast&#8217;s global e-scooter expansion journey. Partnering with leading local dealers underscores our partners&#8217; confidence in VinFast&#8217;s product quality, service standards, flexible battery-swapping model, and long-term vision. We are committed to accompanying Indonesian consumers on their transition toward a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future of mobility.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Indonesia stands among the world&#8217;s largest motorcycle markets, characterized by rapid urbanization, high population density in major cities, and increasing policy and consumer momentum toward environmentally friendly transportation. These structural factors create substantial headroom for the growth of the e-scooter segment. Indonesian dealers have expressed strong confidence in VinFast&#8217;s long-term potential in the country, citing its comprehensive green mobility ecosystem, large-scale manufacturing capabilities, and proven ability to execute swiftly across multiple international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After two years of presence in Indonesia, VinFast has introduced a broad range of electric vehicles, from electric SUVs to models optimized for transportation services, and has commenced operations at its Subang facility. Concurrently, the Company has expanded its integrated ecosystem, including dealership and after-sales networks, charging infrastructure in collaboration with V-Green, and partnerships with leading banks and financial institutions. Through pioneering and customer-centric policies, VinFast continues to lower barriers to EV adoption and enable Indonesian consumers to participate in the global green mobility revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Editor&#8217;s Take<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Vietnam:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s about <strong>&#8220;industrial maturity.&#8221;<\/strong> For decades, Vietnam was where others built things. VinFast is the first major Vietnamese brand to reverse that flow, using its own IP to enter a market (Indonesia) that has been dominated by Japanese giants like Honda and Yamaha for over 50 years. It\u2019s a bold David vs. Goliath play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For ASEAN:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is <strong>Regional Integration<\/strong> in action. By standardizing battery swapping across five ASEAN nations, VinFast is effectively creating a regional &#8220;energy network.&#8221; If successful, it reduces the region&#8217;s dependence on imported oil and helps meet the ASEAN goal of 20% EV market share by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points of the Announcement HANOI, VIETNAM &#8211;&nbsp;Media OutReach Newswire&nbsp;\u2013 10 February 2026 &#8211;&nbsp;VinFast today officially announced its entry into Indonesia&#8217;s e-scooter market through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with strategic dealers in the country.
