VinFast delivered 13,172 EVs in Q2, up by 44% QoQ and 43% YoY, bringing its delivery total for the first half of 2024 to 22,348 vehicles, a 101% increase compared to the same period last year.
The Company recorded $357 million in revenue for Q2, up by 33% QoQ and 9% YoY.
Vietnam, where momentum is accelerating, will play a key role in driving VinFast's revenue in the remainder of 2024.
Madam Thuy Le, Chairwoman of VinFast, said: "We remain focused on our mission to contribute to a sustainable future for everyone. Our strategy is unchanged with regards to being a vertically-integrated green mobility solutions company providing high quality and good-value electric vehicles. With the delivery of VF 3 starting in Q3, we have completed the development of all 7 e-SUV models."
Ms. Lan Anh Nguyen, Chief Financial Officer of VinFast, added: "Q2 of 2024 aligned with our forecasts, driven in large part by the increasing demand for VinFast's EVs in Vietnam. This growth in our home market has been crucial in advancing our mission to promote EV adoption and green mobility. The momentum we've built in Vietnam has laid a solid foundation for our strong position in this key market to continue thriving."
