VINFAST TARGETS 300,000 EV DELIVERIES IN 2026 AND SETS MARCH EARNINGS DATE
VinFast Auto Ltd. has issued its first formal outlook for 2026, projecting global electric vehicle deliveries of 300,000 units as it builds on what it says was a better-than-expected performance in 2025.
The Vietnam-based EV manufacturer said the guidance reflects strong momentum across key Asian markets, particularly Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and the Philippines. The company attributed its outlook to the rollout of new models and the continued expansion of its distribution and retail footprint across the region.
In addition to four-wheeled EVs, VinFast also outlined aggressive growth plans for its electric two-wheeler segment. The company said it expects 2026 two-wheeler deliveries to reach at least 2.5 times the level recorded in 2025, underscoring its strategy of targeting mass-market mobility in emerging Asian economies.
Alongside the forward guidance, VinFast announced it will release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results before U.S. markets open on March 16, 2026. Management will host a live webcast the same morning to discuss operating performance and strategic priorities, with a replay to be made available afterward.
The update comes as VinFast continues to recalibrate its global ambitions. After initially pursuing rapid expansion into North America and Europe, the company has increasingly emphasized Asia as a near-term growth engine, where EV penetration is still rising and price-sensitive consumers are more receptive to lower-cost models and two-wheelers.
Regionally, Southeast Asia has emerged as a competitive but fast-growing EV battleground, with governments pushing electrification through incentives, local manufacturing requirements, and infrastructure buildouts. VinFast’s home-market advantage in Vietnam, combined with its efforts to localize production and sales in neighboring countries, positions it to benefit from those trends—though competition from Chinese automakers remains intense.
The company cautioned that vehicle deliveries represent only one measure of performance and do not directly translate into financial results, which are affected by pricing, costs, and broader market conditions. Investors will be watching the March earnings release closely for updated information on margins, cash burn, and funding needs, as VinFast continues to scale production and sales.
VinFast is a subsidiary of Vingroup JSC and produces electric SUVs, buses, e-scooters, and e-bikes, with manufacturing centered in Vietnam and exports spanning Asia, North America, and Europe.
