Vietnamese EV manufacturer VinFast has announced a major international business strategy for its electric scooter division, placing Southeast Asia at the center of its global expansion roadmap. The company has identified five initial key markets, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and India, with Southeast Asian nations forming the core of its regional growth push.
The move marks a key step in the company’s broader plan to build a comprehensive global green mobility ecosystem, leveraging rising demand for sustainable urban transportation across Southeast Asia and South Asia. According to the company, the selected markets are characterised by strong urban mobility demand, favourable demographics, and a growing shift toward electric vehicles.
VinFast plans to scale its e-scooter operations across these regions by deploying a flexible and operationally efficient expansion model that integrates dealer networks, service workshops, financing solutions, and energy infrastructure. The strategy signals a long-term commitment to building not just product presence, but a full mobility ecosystem tailored to high-density urban environments typical across Southeast Asia.
Speaking on this development, Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of Vinfast E-Scooters Overseas Market, stated: “Expanding our e-scooter business globally represents a strategic pillar in VinFast’s long-term development roadmap. We have conducted in-depth market research, worked closely with local partners, and developed comprehensive plans for dealer network expansion, product portfolios, and service ecosystems.”
Vinfast’s global e-scooter portfolio will include battery-swapping models such as the Flazz, Evo, Feliz II, and Viper, with additional products planned for future launches. The company stated that each model will be adapted to local usage conditions and consumer preferences. Charging and battery-swapping infrastructure will be supported through collaboration with V-Green, Vinfast’s energy solutions partner. Battery-swapping, in particular, is seen as highly suited to Southeast Asia’s fast-paced urban commuting and commercial delivery segments where downtime is a critical factor.
In terms of commercial footprint, VinFast targets achieving hundreds of retail outlets in these markets by 2027, establishing a solid foundation for long-term growth. The expansion model is designed to be flexible and operationally efficient, integrating dealer networks, service workshops, financial solutions, and energy infrastructure, a structure aimed at strengthening customer confidence in emerging EV ecosystems.
Vinfast’s international expansion strategy is built upon its strong performance in its home market. In 2025, the company delivered 406,453 e-scooters, officially securing the leading market share position in the country’s scooter segment. As a result Vinfast boasts of a portfolio of more than 10 models spanning multiple segments and supported by flexible charging and battery-swapping solutions.
Vinfast has now announced the completion of its master plan for three distinct e-scooter lines: mainstream, premium, and sport. The company has launched seven new models in the premium and sport categories. VinFast’s international strategy will be supported by large-scale manufacturing capabilities, a competitive pricing strategy, and a comprehensive ecosystem, positioning the brand as a key player in Southeast Asia’s rapidly accelerating electric two-wheeler market.
