HANOI, VIETNAM -
Media OutReach Newswire - 11 December 2024 - V-GREEN and
Prime Group, a diversified conglomerate, through its UAE subsidiary,
have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a network of
charging stations for VinFast electric vehicles in Indonesia. This MoU
does not only signify a major step forward for V-GREEN in its global
mission to expand the VinFast EV charging infrastructure, but also
underscores the confidence of prominent international companies in
V-GREEN and VinFast's commitment to sustainable transportation.
This MoU reflects the mutual intent of both parties to engage in
detailed discussions to explore and develop cooperation in building
charging stations in Indonesia. The two companies envision the
development of approximately 100,000 VinFast charging stations in
Indonesia over the next three years, with a projected total investment
of up to 1.2 billion USD.
V-GREEN will initially prioritize the development of VinFast charging
stations in Jakarta, Surabaya, Bali, and surrounding areas, with plans
to expand to other regions of Indonesia in subsequent phases. With an
increasing adoption of electric vehicle, these regions are a strategic
focus for V-GREEN's expansion in the Indonesian market, leveraging
VinFast's diverse range of urban electric vehicles.
The development of the charging stations will commence in January 2025,
with a number of stations expected to be operational within the year.
Leveraging its strong financial potential and global network of
partners, Prime Group, a diversified conglomerate with operations across
the Middle East and Africa, is responsible for arranging fundings to
develop the VinFast EV charging infrastructure.
Meanwhile, V-GREEN will proactively research the market, identify
strategic locations, and build and operate a network of charging
stations to meet the growing demand of electric vehicle users in
Indonesia.
Mr. Tamer Wagih Salem, Chairman of Prime Group shared: "Leveraging
our expertise across various industries, we are proud to partner with
V-GREEN to capitalize on the immense potential of Indonesia's green
transportation sector as one of Southeast Asia's most promising markets.
We are confident that this collaboration, fueled by V-GREEN's strong
reputation and execution capabilities, will not only benefit both
companies but also significantly contribute to the growth of Southeast
Asia's electric vehicle market. This partnership with V-GREEN will take
us to explore more opportunities globally, starting with Indonesia then
expanding to the Middle East, Europe, the United Kingdom and the United
States. Together, we will create exceptional value for society and the
global community."
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Duong, CEO of V-GREEN shared: "Partnering
with a strategic Middle Eastern partner opens up exciting new
opportunities for V-GREEN to expand our global electric vehicle charging
network. Together, we will create a comprehensive electric vehicle
ecosystem, reducing environmental impact and enhancing quality of life.
This collaboration will yield significant benefits for both our
companies, consumers, and the community.
Together with VinFast and GSM, we will strongly promote the "For a Green Future" campaign in Indonesia."
V-GREEN was founded by VinFast's Founder, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong, with a
90% stake. Separated from VinFast's charging station development
department, V-GREEN is dedicated to investing in the entire electric
vehicle infrastructure. This aligns with the company's mission to foster
a green ecosystem and accelerate the electric transportation
revolution.
The MoU with Prime Group marks a pivotal moment for V-GREEN as a key
partner in VinFast's global expansion. By developing a robust charging
infrastructure, V-GREEN is paving the way for VinFast to successfully
penetrate the dynamic Indonesian market.
Since its official launch in Indonesia, VinFast has delivered two EV
models, the VF e34 and VF 5. The company is actively expanding its
dealer network, implementing attractive sales policies, and has broken
ground on an assembly plant in Subang, West Java to enhance its global
production capacity.
