VinFast inaugurated its fourth electric vehicle production plant on December 15, 2025, in Subang, West Java, as part of its plan to expand its global manufacturing footprint and strengthen its presence in Indonesia. The plant will support localization, job creation, and the development of Indonesia’s EV industry.
The inauguration was attended by Indonesian government officials led by Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Dr. (H.C.) Ir. Airlangga Hartarto, along with representatives from ministries and agencies, Vietnam’s ambassador to Indonesia, and VinFast partners. The Subang site was completed in 17 months and is its first operational factory in Southeast Asia outside Vietnam. The company’s other operating plants are in Vietnam (Haiphong and Ha Tinh) and India (Tamil Nadu).
“We highly commend VinFast for inaugurating its electric vehicle plant in Subang on schedule. This project closely aligns with the Government’s green industrial development agenda and serves as a strong catalyst for the local economy, particularly in job creation, workforce quality enhancement, and the growth of a supporting industrial ecosystem. With the scale and stature of this project, we firmly believe VinFast will become a key anchor, helping position Subang as a new EV industrial hub of the region in the near future,” Hartarto said.
VinFast Asia CEO Pham Sanh Chau said, “The timely inauguration of the Subang plant is not only a testament to VinFast’s strong execution capabilities, but more importantly, a strategic milestone in our long-term commitment to Indonesia. We firmly believe that localization is a decisive foundation for VinFast’s sustainable success in this market, while also directly contributing to the Indonesian Government’s objectives of economic growth, industrial development, and job creation. With the Subang plant now officially in operation, VinFast has completed one of the most comprehensive and integrated electric vehicle ecosystems in Indonesia, reaffirming our commitment to long-term partnership and shared value creation with the country.”
The Subang complex sits on 171 hectares and is planned for phased development with total investment exceeding $1 billion. Phase 1 involves more than $300 million and an initial capacity of 50,000 vehicles per year, with future capacity scalable to 350,000 units annually. The plant includes body welding, painting, assembly, quality inspection, and logistics facilities, and sets aside land for a supplier park to deepen localization. At full capacity, the factory is expected to generate 5,000 to 15,000 direct jobs, with additional employment across the supply chain.
In its initial phase, the plant will assemble right-hand-drive versions of the VF 3, VF 5, VF 6, and VF 7 for Indonesia, and will also take on new models slated for 2026, including electric two-wheelers and an electric MPV aimed at commercial and service use. VinFast added that the project supports its broader “For a Green Future” ecosystem in Indonesia alongside its expanding dealer, aftersales, and charging partnerships.
