Under the agreement, T-Mobile will provide connectivity for
VinFast's electric vehicles in North America and Europe, including
the VF 6, VF 7, VF 8 and VF 9. These vehicles will come with
built-in capabilities that power connected services such as remote
vehicle services; streaming media and gaming on-the-go; safety
features, including live traffic information; Wi-Fi hotspot data on
select models, to help passengers stay connected; as well as over
the air firmware and software updates.
Additionally, by leveraging T-Mobile’s IoT platform, VinFast
will connect and manage the service and maintenance of millions of
new electric vehicles worldwide, based on near real-time data,
performance monitoring and remote notifications. VinFast is
committed to interacting with its customers through its
corporate-owned and operated stores, several of which will include
parts and service centers that will be set up to manage these
needs.
“VinFast's goal is to turn our smart electric vehicles into a
platform that connects every aspect of life,” said Mdm. Le Thi Thu
Thuy, Vice Chairwoman of Vingroup and Chairwoman of VinFast.
“Through our partnership with world-leading partners like T-Mobile,
we’re delivering advanced features and functionality designed to
make the journey safe, efficient and more enjoyable.”
“Both T-Mobile and VinFast are driven by a customer-first
mindset, so it’s inspiring and motivating to support their
innovation and the needs of their customers,” said Callie Field,
President, T-Mobile Business Group. “Electric vehicles are rapidly
evolving from a mere mode of transportation to a companion that
offers productivity, entertainment and safety features throughout
the journey — and we can't wait to help VinFast customers
experience this, no matter where the road takes them.”
Established in 2017, VinFast is known for its cutting-edge
manufacturing, advanced technology, and stunning design. VinFast
was one of the very first automakers in the world to completely
switch from internal combustion vehicles to an all-electric future.
The company is also building a strong global foothold with its
electric vehicle lineup, including VF 6, VF 7, VF 8 and VF 9.
VinFast has set up a U.S headquarters in Los Angeles, launched
in-person retail stores across California and announced plans to
build a factory in North Carolina. In late November, VinFast
exported its first batch of VF 8s to the U.S. and will continue to
export more to Canada and Europe.
