With one of the most diverse product lineups on the market, comprising more than 10 popular models across all segments, along with flexible charging and battery-swapping solutions, VinFast has removed consumer concerns and turned electric motorbikes into a top-priority choice for Vietnamese consumers. 

This was reflected in its record-breaking business results in 2025, with growth reaching 473 percent compared with 2024.

The Evo line, with versions varying in price and flexible options for 1-battery and 2-battery support, became the top-selling electric motorcycle in the Vietnamese market in 2025, with over 250,000 units delivered to customers. Additionally, the Feliz, Klara, Vento, Vero X, Theon lines, and license-free models such as Motio, Zgoo, and Flazz also contributed impressively to VinFast's overall performance.

More than 600 genuine distributors nationwide played a vital role in bringing VinFast electric motorcycles to consumers across the country. 

Attractive sales and after-sales policies, along with frequent "gasoline-to-electric" vehicle exchange programs, also provided great motivation for customers to choose VinFast. The fact that VinFast electric motorcycles and electric cars both led the Vietnamese market in 2025 reflects the green transition trend from gasoline to electric vehicles. This milestone also confirms VinFast's prestige, preparing for the next booming development phase.

To meet diverse customer needs, at the beginning of 2026, VinFast launched four new electric motorcycle models, including the three battery-swapping support models: Evo, Feliz II, and Viper, along with the Amio pedal-integrated model for students. Accompanied by this is a system of 4,500 battery swap stations already installed, with plans to complete 45,000 swap cabinets within the first quarter of 2026.

The HCMC Department of Construction has officially issued guidance on the deployment of electric motorbike battery-swapping cabinets across the city. It requires enterprises installing battery-swapping cabinets on sidewalks to meet strict technical safety standards and ensure compatibility across different electric motorbike models. 

This is an important step toward standardizing green transport infrastructure while also removing legal obstacles for enterprises using sidewalk space for energy infrastructure services.

The most notable requirement in the Department’s guidance is technical compatibility. To avoid monopolization and waste of public space, the Department requires battery-swapping cabinets to feature flexible designs that support shared batteries for multiple motorbike models from different manufacturers, or to commit to using open connection protocols.

At the same time, the locations of these stations must be updated on the city’s traffic information portal to allow residents to easily access and use the service.

Regarding financial responsibility, participating enterprises must bear all costs related to investment, installation, operation, and grid connection. Enterprises will only be licensed if they can demonstrate sufficient financial capacity and experience in operating battery-swapping infrastructure.

Another mandatory requirement is that investors must purchase public liability insurance for third parties to prevent and address fire and explosion risks that could cause damage to people and surrounding property in areas where the cabinets are installed.

Urban safety requirements are also strictly regulated. Battery-swapping cabinets must meet a minimum protection rating of IP65 or IP67 to operate reliably in conditions of heavy rain and flooding, and must be affixed with periodic electrical safety inspection certification labels.

Regarding location, the equipment may be placed on sidewalks, green strips, or near shopping centers and industrial zones, but must ensure a minimum distance of 500 meters between cabinets. In particular, installation must not affect pedestrians, must maintain a minimum clear walkway of 1.5 meters, and must not obstruct visibility at intersections.

In addition, the city strictly prohibits the use of cabinet surfaces for commercial advertising, except for brand logos and usage instructions. Enterprises are responsible for monitoring the system 24/7 and must commit to relocating and restoring the site upon request by competent authorities without claiming compensation.

It is expected that within January 2026, the list of road routes eligible for the first phase of installation will be publicly announced for units to begin submitting registration dossiers. Two businesses have proposed installing about 20,000 battery swap cabinets on eligible sidewalks or existing public lighting poles.
