VinFast Delays Launch of $4 Billion Factory in North Carolina

Saturday, 13 July 2024, 01:03

Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) maker VinFast, led by Vietnam's wealthiest individual Pham Nhat Vuong, has decided to postpone the opening of its planned $4 billion factory in North Carolina until 2028. The company is also reducing its delivery projection for this year by 20,000 units due to uncertainties in the global EV market. Despite a 92% growth in sales during the first half of 2024 compared to the same period last year, VinFast's revised target of delivering 80,000 vehicles this year falls short of its initial goal of 100,000 units, indicating a cautious approach towards market conditions.
