The "Emerging EV Brand of the Year" honor recognizes VinFast's contributions, systematic market entry strategy, and rapid brand recognition. In this market, VinFast aims to build a sustainable electric vehicle ecosystem, encompassing product planning, localization, and infrastructure development, with a long-term vision.

The VinFast VF 6 impressed judges by offering balanced value in the all-electric SUV segment. According to the organizers, the VF 6 combines contemporary design, practical range, diverse smart features, high safety standards, and a reasonable price. This gives the Vietnamese EV an advantage in reaching a broad user base.

Ashish Masih, Editor-in-Chief of CarBike360, noted that VinFast entered the Indian EV market with confidence and promise. "The brand's clear strategy, along with products like the VF 6 that focus on usability, practicality, and technology, has made VinFast deserving of this year's double award," he said.

Last week, the VF 7 electric SUV was also honored by BBC Topgear India. Additionally, Indian industry magazines recognized the EV manufacturer as "Investor of the Year" and "Urban EV of the Year" for its long-term strategy for the EV ecosystem in the country.
