Vinfast enters Indonesia e-scooter market, signs MoU with strategic dealer partners

Published:

Vinfast has officially announced its entry into the Indonesian electric scooter market with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a group of strategic dealer partners. The move marks an important milestone in VinFast’s international expansion strategy for its electric two-wheeler business and reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to one of the largest and fastest growing motorcycle markets in Southeast Asia.

Vinfast has signed strategic MoUs with its initial partners in Indonesia, including K3, Citra Abadi Sedaya, PT Bewos Auto Mandiri, PT Sapta Jaya, Motorart, PT Synergies Dua Kawan and PT Hinu. These partners bring extensive experience in automobile and motorcycle distribution, strong operational capabilities, deep local market knowledge and the ability to scale operations in line with VinFast’s global standards.

The company will begin rolling out its distribution network in the Jabodetabek region – Indonesia’s largest economic and urban hub – from the second quarter of 2026, with plans to progressively expand across the country.

As part of its entry into the market, VinFast plans to introduce a portfolio of battery-swapping electric scooters including the VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II, VinFast Flaze and VinFast Viper, along with additional new models in the future. The product range is specifically designed to suit Indonesia’s tropical climate, dense urban traffic conditions and everyday commuting needs.

During 2026, VinFast aims to further expand its reach to hundreds of authorized dealerships and service workshops across the country. The company’s growth strategy in Indonesia is designed as an integrated ecosystem, combining retail and after-sales networks, financing solutions, charging and battery-swapping infrastructure through V-Green’s collaboration and partnerships with leading financial institutions.

Prior to this announcement, VinFast had revealed its strategy to internationalize its electric two-wheeler business and had signed agreements with dealers in the Philippines. According to its roadmap, the company will accelerate expansion in 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.

Ms Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of Vinfast e-Scooter Overseas Market, said: “Indonesia is a strategic market in Vinfast’s global e-scooter expansion journey. The partnership with leading local dealers underlines our partners’ confidence in Vinfast’s product quality, service standards, flexible battery-swapping model and long-term vision. We are committed to accompanying Indonesian consumers in their transition towards a greener, smarter and more sustainable future Mobility.”

Indonesia is one of the largest motorcycle markets in the world, characterized by rapid urbanization, high population density in major cities, and increasing policy and consumer movement towards environmentally friendly transportation. These structural factors create ample scope for growth of the e-scooter segment. Indonesian dealers have expressed strong confidence in VinFast’s long-term potential in the country, citing its extensive green mobility ecosystem, large-scale manufacturing capabilities and proven ability to execute rapidly in multiple international markets.

After two years of presence in Indonesia, VinFast has introduced a wide range of electric vehicles, from electric SUVs to models optimized for transportation services, and has started operations at its Subang facility. Concurrently, the company has expanded its integrated ecosystem, including dealership and after-sales network, 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 the barriers to EV adoption and enable Indonesian consumers to participate in the global green mobility revolution.
