Emerging Tesla Rival Vinfast Launches Affordable Mini E-SUV In Vietnam, Aims To Deliver 20K Units In 2024
Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast Auto Ltd. (NASDAQ:VFS) has introduced its new electric mini SUV, the VF 3, at an affordable price of $12,800, with plans to deliver at least 20,000 units this year.
越南電動汽車製造商VinFast Auto Ltd. (納斯達克:VFS) 推出其新的電動微型SUV VF 3，售價僅爲12800美元，計劃年內交付至少2萬輛車。
What Happened: The compact EV is designed to cater to the needs of urban drivers, particularly in areas with narrow roads and alleys, such as the central parts of Hanoi, reported Nikkei.
該微型車旨在滿足城市司機的需求，特別是在道路狹窄的地區，如河內市中心。
The vehicle, which has a maximum range of 215 kilometers, has already received a significant number of orders since its reservation period in May.
這款車最大續航里程爲215公里，自5月預定以來，已收到大量訂單。
VinFast, a subsidiary of Vingroup, aims to initially sell the VF 3 in Vietnam and later expand its sales to the Philippines and other countries. The company has set its EV sales target for 2024 at 80,000 vehicles, more than double the previous year's figure.
VinFast是Vingroup的子公司，旨在首先在越南銷售VF 3，並將銷售擴展到菲律賓等國家。該公司將其2024年電動汽車銷售目標定爲8萬輛，是去年的兩倍以上。
Why It Matters: VinFast's new EV launch comes at a time when the company has been struggling with increasing financial risks, partly due to its dependency on sales to associated companies and a declining global EV market.
VinFast新推出的EV恰逢該公司面臨着不斷增加的金融風險，部分原因是由於其對關聯公司的銷售依賴以及全球電動汽車市場的下降。
The company's financial troubles have been further compounded by its U.S. factory construction delay, which led to a reduction in its annual sales target.
該公司的財務問題還因其在美國工廠建設上的拖延而進一步加劇，導致其年銷售目標降低。
Despite these challenges, VinFast has been actively pursuing its expansion plans. The company recently announced its intention to secure a $250 million bank loan to finance the construction of a new assembly plant in Indonesia.
儘管面臨着這些挑戰，VinFast仍在積極推進擴張計劃。該公司最近宣佈，打算獲得一項2,500萬美元的銀行貸款，用於印度尼西亞新工廠的建設。
Additionally, VinFast has been expanding its presence in Europe to enhance its after-sales service network, despite analysts lowering their forecasts due to a slump in EV demand.
此外，儘管分析師降低了對電動汽車需求下滑的預測，VinFast仍在擴大其在歐洲的存在，以增強其售後服務網絡。
Despite this, VinFast's market capitalization skyrocketed in August 2023, securing it the third position globally among automakers, trailing only Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:TM).
儘管如此，VinFast的市值在2023年8月激增，全球僅次於特斯拉汽車股份有限公司 (納斯達克:TSLA)和豐田汽車 (紐交所:TM) ，排名第三。
Price Action: VinFast's stock closed at $3.90 on Thursday, down 1.02% for the day. In pre-market trading, the stock decreased further 1.28%. Year to date, the stock has declined 44.68%, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
價格行動：VinFast汽車週四收盤價爲3.90美元，下跌1.02%。在美國股市盤前交易中，股價進一步下跌1.28%。根據Benzinga Pro的數據，該股年初至今下跌了44.68%。
