Vượng In Control

As VinFast aims for India and beyond

Good morning! Hello to all new subscribers, and welcome to the latest edition of the Vietnam Weekly, written by reporter Mike Tatarski. Today’s newsletter is for paying subscribers, while the Friday edition is always free to read.

As promised, tomorrow I’m raising the subscription price from US$5/month or US$50/year, to US$8/month or US$90/year. In addition to writing more subscriber-only articles, I will introduce new products as the year progresses, and the Vietnam Weekly is entirely supported by subscriptions. Now is the last chance to upgrade at the current price, which you will keep as long as your subscription remains active.

On to the news.

Since last discussing VinFast a month ago, the carmaker has unleashed numerous announcements, peppering my inbox with press releases.

I considered waiting to cover this topic again until VF releases its Q4 financials, but it’s unclear when that will happen. In any case, the scale of recent developments - with one standing above the rest - merits a post.

Below, I’ll cover:

• The “leadership transition”

• The India announcement

• The CES presentation

• And yet more bad press overseas
