JAKARTA - In July last year, VinFast laid the first stone for the construction of an assembly plant for the Battery-Based Electric Vehicle (KLBB) located in Subang, West Java.

It is stated that the investment spent on the construction of the factory is 200 million US dollars or equivalent to Rp3.2 trillion with a production capacity of 50,000 vehicles per year for consumers in Indonesia.

This is one of the various initiatives taken by the Vietnamese car manufacturer in presenting environmentally friendly vehicles and expanding the greener ecosystem in Indonesia. Then, when will the construction of the factory be completed?

VinFast Asia CEO Pham Sanh Chau said the plant would be completed this year in hopes of starting operations as soon as possible.

"This year, we have to finish building a factory in Subang and that's the most important thing," said Pham Sanh Chau when met by the media in the MH Thamrin area, Jakarta, Thursday, May 20.

Although the date has not been disclosed in detail, he explained that the construction will be completed between the third or fourth quarters.

"The estimated construction of the plant will be completed between the third or fourth quarters of this year," he added.

With this assembly line, the brand owned by VinGroup hopes to create jobs for thousands of people and can contribute to the country's economy.

"We want to create job vacancies for thousands of people in Indonesia and hope to contribute to economic development in Indonesia," he explained.

Later, the factory will produce a number of VinFast electric models sold in Indonesia. The confirmed cars to be assembled in Indonesia are VF 5, VF e34 and most recently VF 3.

"Currently we are focusing on the VF 5, VF e34 model, and most recently VF 3 and will produce it locally," he concluded.
