VinFast Southeast Asia Chief Executive Officer Antonio “Toti” Zara said the Vietnamese electric vehicle maker is keeping a close watch on the Philippines’ emerging electric bus market, although it is not yet ready to introduce its e-bus lineup locally.

Speaking on the future of sustainable mobility in the country, Zara said VinFast continues to evaluate opportunities where demand and policy support align with the transition to cleaner transportation.

“At this stage, we do not have any immediate plans to enter the bus segment in the Philippines,” Zara said. “However, we are closely monitoring developments in this space, particularly as cities and operators continue to accelerate their shift toward electrified public transport.”
