VinFast Receives Order for More Than 2,500 VF 8 & VF 9 Vehicles From Autonomy

VinFast has received an order from the US electric vehicle subscription company, Autonomy, or more than 2,500 VF 8 and VF 9 vehicles. This is VinFast's largest corporate order to date, and one of Autonomy's largest EV orders.

In August 2022, Autonomy, ordered 23,000 electric vehicles across 17 different global automakers, including VinFast, to operate its subscription services.

The Vietnamese automaker will begin delivering vehicles to Autonomy over the next 12 months, as it starts exporting vehicles to international markets.

The announcement was made at the LA Auto Show 2022.

In addition to VF 8 and VF 9, VinFast also showcased VF 6 and VF 7 models presented, in segments B and C, at the LA show.

Le Thi Thu Thuy, Vice Chairwoman of Vingroup and Chairwoman of VinFast, says: "This is an exciting moment for VinFast as our vehicles are about to enter the U.S. market. The order from Autonomy is a testament to the trust we have built in the market. Bringing the VF 8 and VF 9 to Autonomy's EV subscription fleet will give consumers yet another way to experience our brand and discover the benefits of our premium smart EVs. Collaborating with Autonomy will also help us quickly achieve our goal of accelerating the electrified mobility revolution and building a sustainable future for everyone."

"We are excited to add VinFast to our subscription lineup and help raise U.S. consumers' interest and awareness of VinFast and their luxury electric vehicles through Autonomy's car subscription. Autonomy’s affordable month-to-month model makes it much easier for consumers to make the switch to an electric vehicle and to consider new brands and models on the market,” adds Scott Painter, Founder and CEO of Autonomy.

Established in 2017, VinFast owns an automotive manufacturing complex that boasts up to 90% automation in Hai Phong, Vietnam.
