SUBANG, INDONESIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 July 2024 - VinFast Auto has officially broken ground on its new electric vehicle assembly plant in Subang, West Java, Indonesia. This strategic move into one of Southeast Asia's most promising EV markets is set to create numerous job opportunities for the local workforce, underscoring VinFast's commitment to expanding its presence in the region and supporting Indonesia's burgeoning electric vehicle industry.
The new VinFast assembly plant, located in the emerging industrial hub of Subang, represents an initial investment of around 200 million USD. The facility will have an annual capacity of 50,000 vehicles, and house several key production areas such as Body Shop, General Assembly Shop, Paint Shop and testing area, etc.

General H. Moeldoko, Chief of Presidential Staff of Republic Indonesia, shared: "VinFast's presence here will not only have a positive impact on the regional economy, but will also provide new job opportunities and improve the welfare of the surrounding community.
