Vinfast may not be an EV name you recognize yet, but there should be an emphasis on the \u201cfast\u201d part of its moniker. At a private event following the first day of the LA Auto Show, Vinfast\u2019s Global CEO Michael Lohscheller spoke to a crowded room about the Vietnamese automotive startup\u2019s progress in just four years, built off one of its core values \u2013 speed. In addition to debuting as a global brand with two upcoming electric SUVs, Vinfast<\/a> announced Los Angeles as its US headquarters and shared plans to begin manufacturing on American soil in 2024.<\/p>\n

VinFast is the automotive manufacturing subsidiary of VinGroup, a Vietnamese conglomerate that develops everything from real estate to technology and even healthcare. The VinFast subsidiary was founded in 2017 as its parent company looked to enter automotive manufacturing.<\/p>\n

In terms of electrification, VinFast is working to deliver its flagship EV,\u00a0the VF e34<\/a>, later this year in Vietnam. When that happens, it will be the first-ever EV sold in the entire Vietnamese market.<\/p>\n

Last month, we reported that Vinfast was ambitiously entering markets overseas<\/a>, beginning with the US, Canada, and Europe all at once. With its presence at this year\u2019s LA Auto Show, we now know just how ambitious this young automaker is.<\/p>\n
