VinFast recently hosted a workshop discussing automotive localization.
During the event, VinFast announced its plans to increase localization from over 60% to 84% by 2026. This news attracted significant attention from the media and the public. On average, a car is estimated to have 30,000 parts, and as the final product impacts the lives of users and those around them, car manufacturing is considered one of the pinnacles of the manufacturing industry—in other words, producing a car is no easy feat!
