Vietnam electric vehicle market expansion

Overview

Vietnam is seeing significant growth in its electric vehicle sector. In the consumer market, electric motorcycle sales increased by over 97% in the first seven months of 2026 compared to the previous year, with VinFast holding approximately 60% of that segment. This growth has resulted in electric motorcycles accounting for roughly 27.6% of the total motorcycle market share.

Beyond consumer motorcycles, the transition to electric power is expanding into heavy-duty transport. Following a launch in April 2026, Hưng Thịnh EV Truck has delivered 250 SANY electric tractor units to businesses, with a goal of reaching 500 operational units nationwide by the end of 2026 to serve logistics hubs in provinces including Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Ho Chi Minh City.
