Chery to become the first Chinese company to produce electric vehicles in Vietnam

The facility, to be established in the coastal area of Thai Binh, will be a collaboration between Chery's Omoda&Jaecoo unit and the Vietnamese company Geleximco. It will have an annual capacity of 200,000 vehicles, producing Chery's electric models. The first phase of construction is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026.

Additionally, the Ministry stated that Chery plans to import two electric models into Vietnam by the end of this year. This step is expected to significantly contribute to the development of Vietnam's electric vehicle market.

Meanwhile, Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD has also attempted to establish a factory in Vietnam. However, last week, it was reported that the plan might be slowed down.

Chery's investment in Vietnam is expected to create new job opportunities in the country. Upon completion of the facility, it is anticipated to provide employment to thousands of people. Chery's investment in Vietnam could contribute to the growth of the country's electric vehicle market and establish it as a significant hub for electric vehicle production.
