ASoutheast Asia Expansion Accelerates on Two Wheels
Less than a month after opening reservations for the same models in Indonesia, VinFast has introduced its battery-swapping electric motorcycle lineup to the Philippines, signaling a faster-than-expected rollout of the Vietnamese company’s two-wheeler strategy across Southeast Asia.
