VinFast Shows Off Brand New Electric Buses

VinFast EV12 Electro Buses

VinFast EV12 Electro Buses    

Electric vehicles are a big part of the automotive future, and VinFast is one of the companies leading the charge. The company has introduced its first-ever all-electric bus, which will change how people ride the bus, thanks to advanced safety and technology. More so, companies like VinFast are planning for a more environmentally friendly future.

 

All-New Buses with Great Range

 

The introduction of the first-ever VinFast EB8 and EB12 showcased large battery capacities up to 422 kWh with 250 miles of range. Both can also fast charge at 140 kW and be back on the road within 3 hours. Transit buses usually drive around 100 miles daily, meaning riders won’t have to worry about range anxiety on the way to their destination.

 

Better Quality of Life

 

Electric buses are great for improving both air and noise quality in city areas. While mass transit is essential to reduce road congestion and make it easier for people to get around town, buses are notoriously loud and dirty from their diesel exhaust.

Advanced Tech and Safety Features

 

Drivers of the new VinFast buses will appreciate having advanced safety features included that will make it easier to operate them. These features include Blind Spot Detection, Drowsiness Detection, Intelligent Speed Assist, and Forward Collision Warning. Passengers will love the included WiFi, infotainment systems, USB charging ports, and a vehicle kneeling system that uses air suspension to lower the bus at stops, allowing riders to get off and on more easily.

 

Production Capacity

 

VinFast has the ability to produce between 1,500 and 2,000 buses annually. The company is also able to produce up to 500,000 cars a year in its current production facilities.

With an increasingly diverse product range, we are confident we can contribute to creating a zero-emission transport system and a cleaner, greener life …”

VinFast e-Scooters are Just Another Form of Electric Mobility​

VinFast e-Scooters

VinFast e-Scooter Coming to America

 The idea of electric mobility is not exclusive to just automobiles. It is a complete transportation revolution that requires only electricity to propel you from Point A to Point B. With that in mind, VinFast is considering introducing a line of e-scooters to the U.S.A.

 

Scooters are a fun way to get around town. They are popular on college campuses, such as the University of North Texas, University of Texas-Arlington, Southern Methodist University, the University of Dallas, Texas Christian University, and so forth. They are also a great start for drivers looking to get into motorcycles.

 

Most scooters are usually powered by a small two- or four-stroke engine. VinFast’s e-scooters are purely powered by an electric drive motor fueled by one or two battery packs. Standard is a single 2.4-kilowatt-hour unit, with the option to add a second one for a longer range. Single-battery models can get up to just over 82 miles of range, while adding the second battery will increase that to over 162 miles.

 

VinFast e-Scooters

 

VinFast already has a lineup of e-scooters available in its home market of Vietnam. The Feliz and Feliz Light are among several models available in this lineup. Power for these performance-oriented e-scooters comes from a 2,800-watt BLDC in-hub motor. The Feliz models are capable of a top speed of just over 43 MPH. All at a price starting from under $1,000 in Vietnam.

 

Another model available is the Vero X. It sports a modern design, including a TFT color display and a smart key enabled by a smartphone. It also offers 1.2 cubic feet of storage. It was rated to go from 0 to 31 MPH in 15 seconds. This model is currently priced at around $1,326 in Vietnam.

 

These three models are part of a lineup of five e-scooters, including the Evo Grand and Evo Grand Lite. All of these e-scooters carry a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.

 

VinFast e-Scooters

 

The question we’ve been wondering is whether these e-scooters are coming to the U.S.A. While the CleanTechnica website reported on these new models, it did not state precisely when VinFast will bring any of its five models to our market.

 

Would it be cool if they did? If so, would you like Ewing VinFast of Plano to offer them to you?

 

The addition of the e-scooters adds another mobility solution to the VinFast lineup of electric SUVs and e-bikes. It provides a variety of choices for anyone looking to travel without fueling up on gasoline.

 

To get into the electric mobility revolution, contact us at Ewing VinFast of Plano to register your interest in one of these upcoming e-Scooters. We would love to offer them to you when they become available here in the Metroplex.

VinFast Debuts an Armored EV

VinFast VF Lac-Hong Armored EV

VinFast VF Lac-Hong Armored EV

Vietnam recently celebrated 80 years of independence at the country’s newly built Vietnam Exposition Center in Hanoi. The celebration reminds them all of their August Revolution in 1945 to become a country that could develop its own future. VinFast, a Vietnamese car company, engineered and built a new armored all-electric SUV, one of the first of its kind in the world, to celebrate the occasion.

 

An Armored EV

 

The VinFast Lac Hong 900 LX armored car shuttled various heads of state around during the 80th National Day Parade and showed that VinFast is a company built around innovation. The bodywork was clad with impacts from different types of bullets to show off the testing the vehicle endured.

 

What It Took to Build The 900 LX

 

Testing an armored car is no small feat, and VinFast says the Lac Hong 900 LX took 440 shots from various types of firearms and 11 explosive tests in the Beschussamt Ulm center in Germany. The 900 LX was awarded the VPAM VR7, a ballistic standard that’s specific to armored vehicles. This means governments and wealthy individuals can use the VinFast armored vehicle to protect important people. A well-known Canadian company called INKAS, which specializes in armored vehicles, helped design and develop the new armored EV.

 

VinFast VF 9 Police Vehicle

Other One-Off VinFast Vehicles

 

The car company also brought a custom convertible VF9 and a series of 12 VF9 police vehicles that will be sent to police stations around the country.

 

A Lot of Work Goes into Creating a Special Car

 

The open-top VF9 took a total of 2,400 hours to build, which required the removal of the B, C, and D pillars, as well as supporting the A pillars without a roof. The VF9 received a redesigned front grille, a new paint job, a unique leather interior, and upgrades to the electrical system. The patrol vehicles also received special upgrades, including flag mounts, lights, sirens, and a redesigned hood and grille. The company said it took between 60 and 80 hours per vehicle to prepare them for the event.

 

What This Means for VinFast and You

 

While you may not see armored VinFast vehicles in the United States any time soon, this underscores how seriously the company is taking developing and engineering cars built for the world automotive markets. An armored vehicle is a very specialized and unique type of build. The creation of the Lac Hong 900 LX shows that VinFast isn’t afraid of the challenge of creating products that can suit the needs of many different types of buyers in the electric vehicle space.

MotorWeek Tests the VF 8

VinFast VF8 Side View

VinFast VF8 Side View   

There is no doubt that VinFast faces challenges in the US. It is a new brand name from a country that has never made cars for the US before, and it is an EV, which many US buyers still view with skepticism. MotorWeek, the first and longest-running automotive television review magazine, checked out the VF 8 for themselves. Ewing VinFast of Plano shares their thoughts.

 

MotorWeek briefly discussed the history of VinFast’s entry into the United States, including the plans for the North Carolina plant. They plan to build both cars and batteries, but it has been delayed due to market headwinds for EVs.

 

To set the stage, MotorWeek noted that the length of the VF 8 is about midway between the shorter Volkswagen ID.4 and the longer Honda Prologue. They tested the VF 8 Plus, the more powerful of the two VF 8 trims, with 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. As with all EVs, all that torque is available the instant the motor starts turning. They point out the 235-mile range of the Plus model and the 235-mile range of the Eco, and mention that VinFast states a 10-70% charge rate of 31 minutes. 

 

VF 8 Seats

 

They highlight the VF 8’s “unmistakable Italian flair” as a result of its Pininfarina-designed exterior. While noting that its minimalist dashboard features a large 15-inch center screen for controls, they mention that the absence of a traditional gauge cluster is offset by the bright color head-up display and numerous steering wheel controls, which reduce the need to reach for the screen for basic functions.

 

VinFast VF 8 Plus Frunk

 

Cargo space, a key factor for crossovers, benefits from rear seats that fold flat, and there’s frunk space where the engine isn’t. Notable for a new manufacturer, MotorWeek found no obvious fit and finish issues.

 

On the road, they found that the VF 8 delivers smooth and quiet power, and the regenerative braking is well-adjusted with a very natural feel. Sport mode definitely provides a quicker throttle response. In terms of ride and handling, there are no major flaws. However, car reviewers often prefer a sportier feel than the VF 8 offers, although its comfort-focused tuning should suit most people.

Finally, they mention the warranty, which covers 10 years or 125,000 miles for bumper-to-bumper. Such extensive warranties helped build trust in Korean vehicles among a skeptical US public, and we’ve all seen how Hyundai and Kia have grown since then. Overall, MotorWeek found the VF 8 to be an attractive vehicle with good performance and a smooth ride, along with a great warranty. If you want to check out the new player in town, test drive the VF 8 at Ewing VinFast in Plano.
