Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast has signed two Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Indonesian transportation solution providers to supply 20,000 electric vehicles (EVs) by 2028, marking a major step in expanding its green mobility ecosystem in Southeast Asia.
Under the agreements, PT Satu Kosong Tujuh and PT Sembilan Benua Abadi will deploy VinFast electric vehicles for commercial transportation services across Indonesia. PT Sembilan Benua Abadi plans to purchase 10,000 EVs by the end of 2027, while PT Satu Kosong Tujuh aims to acquire 10,000 units by the end of 2028.
The vehicles supplied under the agreement will include the VinFast Nerio Green and the VinFast Limo Green, both designed specifically for commercial mobility services under VinFast’s Green vehicle lineup.
The Nerio Green, derived from the VinFast VF e34, features a modern urban design, spacious cabin, and advanced technology aimed at urban transportation services. Meanwhile, the Limo Green is a newly introduced electric MPV designed for high-intensity passenger transport, offering a three-row configuration and a driving range of up to 450 km on a full charge using a durable lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery.
VinFast said the deployment of electric fleets will help improve operational efficiency for transportation partners while reducing emissions and promoting environmentally friendly mobility solutions among Indonesian consumers. The initiative is also expected to increase public exposure to electric vehicles, encouraging broader EV adoption across the country.
Nirzam Pahmi, President Director of PT Satu Kosong Tujuh, said the company sees strong potential in VinFast’s vision for building an inclusive and accessible electric mobility ecosystem. The agreement aligns with its long-term goal of transitioning to fully electric transportation.
Similarly, Wempy Suciadi, CEO of PT Sembilan Benua Abadi, highlighted the product quality and sustainability focus of VinFast’s electric models, noting that the Nerio Green and Limo Green meet the evolving needs of consumers during the shift toward greener transportation.
Kariyanto Hardjosoemarto, CEO of VinFast Indonesia, said the partnerships with local transportation companies will help accelerate EV adoption in Indonesia. He added that working with experienced local partners will allow the company to expand its market presence and bring modern mobility solutions closer to consumers.
VinFast has been rapidly expanding its presence in Indonesia over the past two years. The company currently offers a diverse EV lineup in the market, including VinFast VF 3, VinFast VF 5, VinFast VF 6, VinFast VF 7, and the VinFast MPV 7, along with its Green series models.
The company has also begun operations at its manufacturing facility in Subang, reinforcing its long-term investment in the Indonesian market. In addition, VinFast is expanding its ecosystem through dealership and after-sales service networks, charging infrastructure development in partnership with V‑Green, and financing collaborations with local banks.
With these initiatives, VinFast aims to accelerate Indonesia’s transition toward sustainable transportation while strengthening its position in the rapidly growing Southeast Asian EV market.
