VinFast has brought its decade-long care philosophy to the Middle East by pairing the VF 8’s appeal with a warranty model designed to ease drivers into electrification under regional conditions, positioning long-term support as the company’s strongest bridge to new customers.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 December 2025 – When VinFast celebrated the opening of its 350th service center in Vietnam, the milestone confirmed a strategy built around aftersale polices that have become one of the most powerful forces behind the company’s rise. The brand has made a point to build trust by showing that support, maintenance, and long-term care are as central as design and performance.

That foundation has accelerated Vietnam’s shift from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles by reshaping consumer expectations at a moment when many drivers feared the unknowns of electric mobility.

The VF 8 sits at the center of this effort. The D-segment SUV carries some of the brand’s strongest technological features, but owners frequently point to something else as the real anchor of confidence. VinFast’s 10 year warranty covers the vehicle with a level of clarity and duration that signals durability and accountability. The warranty strengthens the ownership experience far beyond the first months of excitement. It gives customers a long horizon of care that has become a signature of the brand.

That same logic now shapes VinFast’s journey into the Middle East, which has become one of the company’s most strategically watched regions. Here, the VF 8 again plays a leading role. The model enters markets where extreme temperatures, long driving distances, and a growing appetite for electrification coexist. Buyers want modern features, yet they hesitate when support networks feel uncertain. VinFast responds by applying the same customer-first approach that defined its Vietnamese success.

The VF 8 is positioned as a practical yet advanced EV tailored for regional realities. A strong battery management system, robust safety systems, and a suite of ADAS features make it competitive. Yet the real persuasion comes from the company’s aftersale polices. VinFast brings its 10-year warranty to Middle Eastern markets without dilution, as well as 10-year, unlimited-distance coverage for the battery. The duration reads almost like a challenge to industry norms, especially in a region where long-term durability is closely scrutinized due to harsh climatic conditions. The policy signals a clear commitment to stand behind its vehicles for a full decade.

Service and support infrastructure in the region are being developed with the same guiding principle that structured the Vietnamese network. VinFast aims to ensure that VF 8 owners can rely on predictable assistance, transparent repair practices, and fast turnaround times. Mobile service units and 24/7 roadside assistance and regional partners help bring support closer to customers rather than asking customers to adjust their habits to a new technology.

As Middle Eastern governments accelerate electrification plans, the question facing consumers is not simply which EV delivers the best range or digital interface. It is which manufacturer will walk with them through the unfamiliar years ahead. By pairing the VF 8 with long-term care rooted in proven aftersale polices, VinFast hopes to make the leap to electric mobility feel not only appealing, but secure. The strategy echoes the lessons learned from Vietnam’s transition and suggests that in the Middle East, peace of mind may be the most powerful catalyst for adoption.

The Beijing People’s Art Theatre (BPAT) in Beijing on Thursday warmly welcomed Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron.

Brigitte Macron is accompanying the French president on his state visit to China.

During the visit, Peng and Brigitte gained an in-depth understanding of the development of the BPAT and its exchanges with the French theater community. They also explored the stage set of the classic Chinese play “Teahouse,” watched a play segment and had an engaging conversation with the performers.

The Chinese play “Teahouse” made history in 2019 when it was performed at the Festival d’Avignon in France, marking the first time a Chinese play was invited to one of the world’s most prestigious contemporary performing arts festivals. The play’s debut left a lasting impression on Olivier Py, then director of the Festival d’Avignon, who described it as one of the best productions he had ever seen.

In April 2024, the BPAT unveiled its latest Chinese adaptation of Moliere’s classic “The Miser,” captivating audiences with its splendid performances.

In late October, the French classic drama “Les Paravents” (The Screens), one of the founding pillars of contemporary French theater, was featured in the 2025 BPAT International Theatre Invitation Exhibition, staged at the Capital Theatre for a three-day run. This marked the first time the widely acclaimed play was presented in its entirety in China.

Peng said generations of Chinese dramatists have adhered to inheriting and promoting fine traditional Chinese culture in their artistic creations, while learning from foreign theaters and actively advancing innovation and development.

In addition to the exchange of plays and theater, China and France have also strengthened other aspects of cultural and people-to-people exchanges. The 2024 China-France Year of Culture and Tourism advanced cooperation in the fields of education, sports, and film and television, and more than 6,000 French students traveled to China for exchanges and study that year. Growing numbers of French tourists are also visiting China, thanks to China’s visa-free policy.

This year marks both the beginning of a new 60-year cycle in China-France diplomatic relations and the start of the second decade of their high-level dialogue mechanism on people-to-people exchanges.

Looking ahead, Peng expressed hope that artists from both China and France, two major cultural countries, will continue to strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, and create more outstanding artistic works.

Appreciating Peng’s thoughtful arrangements, Brigitte Macron spoke highly of Chinese dramatic arts and expressed her willingness to actively promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries, enhancing mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples.
