It’s been a long, winding road — geographically and metaphorically — from the Ho Chi Minh Trail to Highway 64 in rural Chatham County in North Carolina, but that is not holding back Vinfast, a privately owned Vietnamese company trying to break into the global electric-vehicle market, turbo-charged by a $4 billion investment for a cutting-edge auto factory in this Southern state.
, North Carolina — It’s been a long, winding road — geographically and metaphorically — from the Ho Chi Minh Trail to Highway 64 in rural Chatham County in North Carolina, but that is not holding back VinFast, a privately owned Vietnamese company trying to break into the global electric vehicle market, turbocharged by a $4 billion investment for a cutting-edge auto factory in the Southern U.S.
Just last week, the company delivered the first 45 VF 8 City Edition all-electric SUVs to U.S. customers at its nine showrooms across California. “Vinfast is making a major investment in the EV future of America — a welcome investment in a sustainable economy for Americans, Vietnamese citizens, and the world,” Mr. Osius said. “I couldn’t be more excited about this visible symbol of our two countries’ growing friendship and our joint commitment to combating climate change.”
