VinFast Accelerates Indonesian Expansion with Major Awards and Exclusive Model Debuts - CleanTechnica
VinFast is accelerating its expansion in Indonesia through new vehicle launches, awards recognition, and the imminent start of operations at its Subang assembly plant. At the GAIKINDO Jakarta AutoShow 2025, the Vietnamese automaker unveiled two key models: the seven-seat Limo Green, set for a March 2026 Indonesian launch, and the VF Wild midsize pickup concept. The Limo Green, already successful in Vietnam with 6,500 units sold in three months, features a spacious interior, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology, and a 470 km driving range, making it suitable for both family and commercial use. The VF Wild, developed with Australian design studio GoMotiv, includes innovative features like a power-operated midgate and is being refined based on Indonesian market feedback. VinFast also received significant accolades at the Road to CNBC Indonesia Awards 2025, winning “Pioneering Brand in Green Transition and Sustainability” and “Compact SUV of the Year”

Vietnamese EV maker VinFast has launched a Residual Value Guarantee (RVG) program in the Philippines, promising to buy back its vehicles at up to 90% of the original price for up to three years. This initiative aims to address consumer concerns about EV depreciation and battery lifespan, which have hindered adoption in the region. The RVG offers buyback values of 90% after six months, 86% after one year, 78% after two years, and 70% after three years—significantly higher than typical industry depreciation rates. The program covers VinFast’s entire Philippine lineup and is complemented by a 10-year vehicle warranty and three years of free charging, creating a comprehensive support ecosystem for buyers. VinFast has already implemented this program in Indonesia, where it has honored buybacks without issue, indicating a genuine commitment rather than a marketing gimmick. However, the guarantee is conditional: vehicles must adhere to mileage limits and maintenance schedules to qualify, protecting VinFast
