Vietnamese electric vehicles (EV) maker VinFast will debut its public transport solution, VinFast electric buses at Busworld Europe 2025, Brussels of Belgium in October.
The firm said in a statement on Tuesday that by adding its advanced, smart buses to its European offerings, VinFast is asserting its position as an all-electric vehicle manufacturer with one of the most comprehensive and wide-ranging e-mobility ecosystems.
The launch of VinFast e-bus is designed to directly contribute to Europe’s green transition, broadening the zero-emission public transport network.
VinFast will also showcase two advanced electric bus models, the EB 8 and the EB 12 in the event.
Both models are engineered to meet EU standards, with the EB 12 being fully homologated to meet UNECE and CE regulations.
It is specifically designed for European operations, taking into account local regulations and infrastructure, from size and configuration to range and charging compatibility, to ensure a smooth integration into the market.
The EB 8 and EB 12 come equipped with LFP battery packs from trusted global leaders like CATL and Gotion, offering capacities up to 422 kWh and a real-world range of up to 400 km.
Fast charging at up to 140 kW ensures a full turnaround within 2 to 3 hours.
VinFast said it will also reveal its strategy for entering the European public transport market, which is aligned with the roll out of its electric-sports utility vehicles (e-SUVs): centered on the formation of strategic partnerships with leading specialists and suppliers in Europe’s transport and infrastructure sectors, to ensure a strong and sustainable presence for VinFast electric bus across the continent.
As a proven public e-mobility solution, the VinFast electric bus line has been operating reliably in Vietnam for four years, serving as a cornerstone of the country’s first-ever electric bus network, said the statement.
In Vietnam, VinFast said it has established a fully operational electric bus ecosystem, producing, deploying, and maintaining fleets that power public transit in major cities.
The company has a production capacity of 1,500-2,000 electric buses per year, with all manufacturing processes being CE-compliant.
VinFast said its aim is aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement and Europe’s green transition goals: a 43 percent reduction in emissions by 2030, 90 percent new buses to be zero-emission by 2030, and 100 percent by 2035.
“Europe shares VinFast’s vision of a green and sustainable future and the launch of our VinFast electric bus models at Busworld is a strong statement of VinFast’s long-term commitment to the region,” said Le Thi Thu Thuy, Chairwoman of VinFast.
“Beyond individual electric cars, we are building a comprehensive green transformation ecosystem to make electrified transport more accessible than ever,
“With an increasingly diverse product range, we are confident we can contribute to creating a zero-emission transport system and a cleaner, greener life for Europeans,” she added.
It is noted that in the European market, VinFast has already established the VF 6 B-segment and VF 8 D-segment electric SUVs, supported by customer-focused sales and after-sales policies.
Thus, expanding the electric bus line internationally is a core part of VinFast’s long-term commitment to Europe.
By bringing its advanced electric bus technology to Europe, VinFast is not only showcasing its production capabilities but also reinforcing its dedication to building smart, green, and sustainable cities worldwide.
This initiative is a vital component of the company’s mission to make e-mobility accessible to everyone, said the statement.
