Prior to this, VinFast and BAT signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 28) held in the United Arab Emirates. Through promoting cooperation with the first dealer partner in Oman, VinFast is actively participating in the realization of green mobility solutions in the Middle East region.
Mr. Ta Xuan Hien, VinFast Middle East General Director, shared: “Oman is a potential electric vehicle market as the country’s consumers are increasingly interested in green and sustainable transportation. Cooperating with BAT will help VinFast quickly access the market and provide customers in this country with a diverse range of electric vehicle products.”
The electric vehicle market in Oman is predicted to grow strongly in the coming years as the country’s government has implemented initiatives to encourage the use of electric vehicles in response to climate change, reduce carbon emissions, and limit fossil fuel consumption. |
