BIZ BUZZ: Vietnam’s VinFast joins PH auto group

VinFast, Vietnam’s fast-rising electric vehicle brand, just plugged into the big leagues by joining the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (Campi), the country’s most powerful auto industry group.

Campi members account for over 92 percent of vehicle sales in the Philippines.

Campi president Rommel Gutierrez welcomed VinFast as the newest member and noted the company’s entry as a pure electric mobility brand marks a milestone expected to bring fresh momentum to the local auto industry.

For his part, VinFast Philippines chief executive officer Doan Thi Mai Anh said joining the automotive business group marks a significant step forward in their commitment to shaping the future of mobility in the Philippines through clean, smart and sustainable transportation.

In just a year since its debut, VinFast has rolled out a lineup of all-electric models including the VF 3, VF 5, VF 6, VF 7 and VF 9, ready to challenge the status quo.

These vehicles are all sleek, silent, and ready to shake up a market still mostly running on fossil juice.

Among them, the VF 6 is already generating buzz as a possible crowd favorite for budget-conscious, eco-curious Filipinos looking to make the switch.

The company is also building a full ecosystem—from charging infrastructure and after-sales service to collaborating on policies that support sustainable growth.

It also aims to replicate its successful “For a Green Future” model from Vietnam here in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia, pushing the region closer to cleaner and smarter transportation.
