VinFast electric vehicle plant in Subang, Indonesia was officially inaugurated on December 15, 2025.
The VinFast plant in Subang is located on a 171-hectare site and is being developed in multiple phases with a total investment of more than USD 1 billion. In subsequent phases, its production capacity can be scaled up to 350,000 vehicles per year, positioning the facility to meet Indonesia's growing market demand and to unlock future export opportunities.
In Phase 1, VinFast is investing over USD 300 million, with the plant achieving an initial capacity of 50,000 vehicles per year. The facility features a fully integrated production line built to international standards, with a high level of automation and advanced technologies to ensure superior product quality. It includes all core workshops such as Body Welding, Painting, Assembly, along with a Quality Inspection Center and a Logistics Warehouse.
Notably, the project also allocates land for the development of a supporting supplier park for local contractors and businesses, which is planned for expansion in the coming years, laying a solid foundation for deep and sustainable localization.
At full capacity, the VinFast Subang plant is expected to create between 5,000 and 15,000 direct jobs for local workers, along with thousands of indirect jobs across the supply chain and related services. This will serve as a powerful driver for the socio-economic development of Subang, which is being positioned as a new industrial growth center of West Java.
In the initial phase, the plant will focus on assembling VinFast's strategic EV models, including VF 3, VF 5, VF 6 and VF 7 (right-hand drive versions), for the Indonesian market. These models are well-suited for urban mobility, targeting young consumers and modern families.
The factory will also be responsible for assembling new models scheduled for launch in Indonesia in 2026, including electric two-wheelers, and electric MPV optimized for commercial and service-oriented mobility operations.
The inauguration of the VinFast Subang plant clearly reinforces VinFast's role in building the electric vehicle value chain in Indonesia, contributing to the elevation of Southeast Asia's position on the global EV industry map. The plant will serve as a critical backbone for VinFast's comprehensive "For a Green Future" ecosystem in Indonesia.
In less than two years of presence in the market, the Company has introduced a diverse product portfolio while continuously expanding its service ecosystem, from a robust dealer network and aftersales centers to a widespread charging infrastructure enabled through collaboration with global charging developer V-Green, as well as partnerships with leading banks and financial institutions. Through pioneering policies and customer-centric solutions, VinFast is actively accelerating the green transition, reaffirming its role as a trailblazer in Indonesia's green mobility revolution and across the wider region.Hashtag: #VinFast
