The company is set to start operations at its Subang assembly plant, which will further solidify its presence in the Indonesian market. As VinFast expands its dealership network and charging infrastructure, it aims to enhance customer accessibility and convenience. The success of the Limo Green and VF Wild models in Indonesia could influence VinFast's future product offerings and market strategies in other regions.
