Yamaha to produce new electric scooters in Vietnam

Yamaha has introduced two new electric scooter models, the NMAX E and XENTER E, at the EICMA 2026 exhibition in Europe. The Japanese manufacturer confirmed that both models will be produced by Yamaha Motor Vietnam.

The NMAX E is a global electric scooter designed to combine electric technology with the performance and premium design characteristics of the traditional NMAX gasoline series. The XENTER E is a modern, urban-focused scooter featuring 16-inch wheels and a design intended for stability on various road surfaces.

These models follow the NEO’S, which was Yamaha’s first electric motorcycle assembled in Vietnam for both domestic and European markets. This move comes as competitors like Honda also expand their electric vehicle manufacturing in Vietnam, with models such as the ICON e: and UC3 already being assembled locally.
