VinFast, the renowned Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer, is gearing up to enter the competitive Indian electric two-wheeler market. The company plans to launch three advanced electric scooters in late 2026, especially around festive seasons.
Market Strategy and Vehicle Choice
To tackle established brands such as Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube, VinFast has selected its robust models—the Evo, Feliz, and Viper—known for their durability in the Vietnamese market.
