VinFast shows off a midsize truck and small utility EV for North America
The company’s other EVs haven’t been getting the best reviews.
Its first global vehicle, the VF8, has been called “the worst reviewed car in America.” The company recently named its founder and chief financial backer, Pham Nhat Vuong, as CEO, replacing Le Thi Thu Thuy, who had held the post since late 2021. Founded in 2017, VinFast started manufacturing EVs in 2021 and has continuously received financial support from Vuong, who is Vietnam’s richest man — most recently, a $1 billion grant in April 2023, according to Reuters. The VF Wild electric truck concept features the same wing-shaped LED lighting signature, sculpted bodies, and other styling details seen on VinFast’s other vehicles.
