Hanoi (VNA) - Vietnam's first electric vehicle (EV) maker VinFast dispatched its largest shipment to Indonesia, with nearly 2,500 units departing from the northern city of Hai Phong on March 8.

They are expected to reach its destination between March 11 and 12. Upon arrival, they will be distributed to dealerships in time for delivery to customers before the Lebaran (Eid al-Fitr) holiday as a meaningful new year gift for Muslim consumers.
