HÀ TĨNH, Vietnam, June 30, 2025 – VinFast has opened its electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant in Hà Tĩnh, located in the Vũng Áng Economic Zone. Covering 360,000 square meters, the facility has an annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles. This is VinFast’s fifth manufacturing site globally and its second EV plant in Vietnam. The inauguration was attended by Vietnam’s deputy prime minister Nguyễn Chí Dũng and other senior government officials. The plant is designed to serve both domestic demand and international markets, a step forward in the company’s global production strategy.
VinFast’s plant in Hà Tĩnh is the company’s second site for building electric vehicles and marks the fifth project in its growing global network. The factory was built and equipped in less than seven months. The site covers 360,000 square meters. It includes areas for body welding, painting, general assembly, logistics storage and quality control. There is also an auxiliary area of 240,000 square meters under construction, with plans for future growth.
VinFast uses automated production lines supported by technology providers like ABB, DÜRR, FANUC, and SIEMENS. The factory complies with international standards ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems), and IATF 16949 (Automotive Quality Management Systems).
In the initial phase, the plant is set up to produce about 200,000 vehicles each year, with an average of 35 vehicles every hour. To optimize production in the early days, the Hà Tĩnh plant will focus on compact urban electric vehicles, including the VF 3, Minio Green, and EC Van models. Cars made here will be sold both in Vietnam and international markets.
The facility plans to hire about 6,000 people in the initial phase. Over time, it could expand to employ up to 15,000 workers, which would support local jobs and help in the growth of the socioeconomic status. VinFast Hà Tĩnh’s operations will also encourage other business owners to open businesses in the same industrial area. This could support the goal of using local parts in electric vehicles, targeting over 80% by 2026.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Võ Trọng Hải, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and chairman of the Hà Tĩnh provincial people’s committee praised VinFast and acknowledged its contributions towards the VinFast Hà Tĩnh plant for the economic and social development. “The Hà Tĩnh provincial leadership is committed to working closely with Vingroup and investors to create the most favorable conditions and swiftly resolve any difficulties, ensuring smooth investment and business operations. We firmly believe that with Vingroup’s strong financial resources, experience, capabilities, and determination, along with the support and consensus of the local people and the close cooperation of the provincial authorities, this site will soon become a modern, environmentally friendly automotive industrial complex that drives Hà Tĩnh’s sustainable economic growth,” chairman Võ Trọng Hải said.
Mr. Nguyễn Việt Quang, vice chairman and CEO of Vingroup, said: “The inauguration of the VinFast Hà Tĩnh plant marks a significant milestone in VinFast’s long-term development strategy and its global production expansion. Once operational, this facility will help VinFast move closer to its goal of producing one million vehicles per year to meet growing demand in both domestic and international markets. It also demonstrates our technological capability, production autonomy, and pioneering vision in promoting sustainable mobility in Vietnam and around the world.”
