VinFast, the electric vehicle manufacturer under Vietnam’s top conglomerate Vingroup, has signed memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with six electric scooter dealers in Indonesia as it prepares to launch its electric scooter lineup in the country in the second quarter of 2026, expanding its distribution network in one of the world’s largest two-wheeler markets.

In a Friday press release, VinFast said the agreements were signed with PT. IB Motor, PT. Sentrik, PT. Axara Marani, PT. Sukses Sejati Indonesia, PT. Tangguh Inti Motor, and PT. Kiki Motor Persada. The partners are expected to support VinFast’s entry into Indonesia’s electric scooter segment by developing showroom networks and distribution channels in major urban regions.

According to the company, the first showrooms will be located in areas with high population density and strong transportation demand, including the greater Jakarta metropolitan area of Jabodetabek, as well as West Java, East Java, and Bali. These locations are considered key markets for electric mobility as Indonesia accelerates policies aimed at reducing emissions and encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles.

In the initial phase, the distribution network is expected to offer several battery-swapping electric scooter models, including the VinFast Flazz, VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II, and VinFast Viper. Additional models may be introduced later based on local infrastructure conditions and consumer demand.

Indonesia is one of the largest scooter markets globally, with annual sales reaching several million units. Although electric scooters currently represent a small portion of the market, government incentives and infrastructure development are expected to drive faster adoption in the coming years.

VinFast said its electric scooter rollout will be supported by battery-swapping infrastructure being developed by V-Green. Pilot battery-swapping stations are already being tested in the Jabodetabek area, which could allow riders to replace depleted batteries with charged ones instead of waiting for conventional charging.

The expansion follows VinFast’s earlier announcement that it plans to introduce electric scooters to several overseas markets, including the Philippines, India, Thailand, and Malaysia as part of its broader international strategy. VinFast has been present in Indonesia for about two years, during which it introduced electric vehicles ranging from passenger SUVs to commercial models and began work on a manufacturing facility in Subang.
