A Year of Growth for VinFast: Navigating the Storm, Seizing Opportunity
While the electric vehicle industry has demonstrated impressive year-over-year growth, it’s crucial to acknowledge that this rapid expansion is likely to slow down over time. As the EV market matures, a more gradual growth trajectory is anticipated, a common trend observed in any rapidly developing sector.
VinFast, the Vietnamese EV manufacturer listed on the Nasdaq, has the potential for long-term growth in the industry. The company’s multi-product, multi-market strategy positions it to weather global economic storms and capitalize on favorable trade relations with strategic partners.
VinFast Emerges as a Global Green Warrior
VinFast’s 2024 performance showcased the effectiveness of its multi-product, multi-market strategy, driven by strong trade partnerships with key countries.
Building upon its successful Nasdaq IPO, VinFast has continued to broaden its market footprint in North America and Europe. In 2024, the company officially announces the global launch of the VF 3 mini e-SUV, the VF Wild concept pickup truck, and the Drgn Fly electric bike at CES 2024.
VinFast also strengthened its market position in the U.S. by expanding its dealer network, contributing to optimizing costs and enhancing brand recognition. This strategic move aimed to accelerate the delivery of high-quality products and services to North American consumers. As of October 31, 2024, the company had 173 showrooms globally for EVs and 160 showrooms and service workshops for e-scooters, including VinFast showrooms and dealer showrooms.
Demonstrating its commitment to green transformation, VinFast is expanding its presence beyond key markets like Europe and North America. The company has entered the Philippines market, where it has officially launched its brand and begun delivering electric vehicles. Furthermore, VinFast has broken ground on a new manufacturing facility in India, signaling its strategic expansion into key regional markets.
In Indonesia, VinFast made a strong debut at the 2024 Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS). The company introduced its smart electric vehicles, launched attractive sales and warranty policies, and is actively growing its dealer network. Notably, VinFast has broken ground on an assembly plant in Indonesia, a key step in boosting production capacity for its global expansion strategy.

VinFast’s growth momentum continued unabated in November, with the company delivering over 16,000 electric vehicles across all models. This record-breaking monthly delivery brings VinFast’s total domestic sales for 2024 to over 67,000 units, solidifying its position as the leading electric vehicle manufacturer in Vietnam.
The company has successfully disrupted the Vietnamese automotive market with a winning combination of innovative products and a compelling sales strategy. The introduction of the VF 3, a stylish and practical electric SUV at an attractive price point, has been a key driver of this success. The VF 3 has quickly become a popular choice for urban commuters, with eager buyers eagerly anticipating their deliveries.
Furthermore, the VF 5 is proving to be a game-changer, appealing to both individual and commercial customers. Notably, VinFast is witnessing a growing trend of traditional taxi operators transitioning to electric vehicles, driven by the significant economic advantages of reduced maintenance costs and stable electricity prices compared to fluctuating gasoline prices.
These successes demonstrate VinFast’s ability to create new market demand and drive the adoption of electric mobility in Vietnam.
As a Nasdaq-listed EV pioneer, VinFast is strengthening its global reach. The company’s remarkable success in the Vietnamese market serves as a catalyst for further international expansion. VinFast’s strategic initiatives are yielding positive results, with September marking a record-breaking month for the company in the North American market.
VinFast’s commitment to green transformation extends beyond business results. The company has garnered global recognition, with its founder, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong ranked among the 50 most powerful people in the global automotive industry by Motor Trend magazine and VinFast itself included in TIME magazine’s list of 100 most influential companies.
In the dynamic landscape of the global automotive industry, characterized by geopolitical shifts, economic fluctuations, and evolving consumer preferences, VinFast’s multi-market, multi-product strategy is proving to be a crucial factor in its success. This strategic approach enables the company to navigate challenges effectively and solidify its position as a leader in the green revolution./.

Huawei to Announce the Open Source Project of A2A-T Software, Boosting the application of agent communication standards
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, highly Autonomous Networks are becoming a crucial direction for the communications industry, and the importance of industry collaboration is increasingly prominent. To this end, the A2A-T protocol, including the IG1453 beta version and the enhanced prompt meta-model IG1453A, was jointly released by global telecommunications industry partners at the TM Forum Accelerate Week on February 6, 2026. It aims to provide a unified interaction framework for multi-agent collaboration, addressing challenges faced by operators in automated production, such as collaboration efficiency, reliability, and security.
As a standardized agent interaction protocol, A2A-T marks a new stage in agent interaction, unlocking three major industry breakthroughs: a revolutionary improvement in integration efficiency, reducing the system integration cycle from “months” to “days”. Breaking the boundaries of task collaboration to support complex cross-domain, cross-vendor workflows; and accelerating industry ecosystem convergence by lowering interconnection barriers through unified standards, fostering a sustainable collaborative ecosystem.
While standards chart the course for the industry, open source is the optimal path to achieve widespread interoperability and rapid innovation. In line with the evolutionary consensus of the Autonomous Network industry, Huawei is going to open source the core supporting software for the A2A-T protocol, to practically propel this standard from industry consensus to global deployment.
This open source project will encompass key components for implementing the A2A-T protocol, including:
- A2A-T Protocol SDK: Provides integration tools for standardized interaction between agents.
- Registry Center: Enables authentication, addressing, and skill management for multiple agents.
- Orchestration Center: Supports low-code/no-code visual workflow orchestration, with pre-built high-value solution packages.
More detailed information will be officially announced during MWC 2026 at the Global Autonomous Network Industry Summit (14:30~16:00, March 2, 2026, Sofitel Barcelona Skipper Hotel). We cordially invite global industry partners to attend the launch event on-site or follow the project’s progress through online channels, working together to promote the prosperity of the Agentic Internet.

Huawei will release the Agentic Core solution to accelerate the commercial use of agent networks
NE intelligence: As AI agents become a core capability of next-generation AI phones, the number of connected entities will increase tenfold, with connections extending from “humans” to physical AI (such as embodied robots and autonomous driving). This will require the introduction of key capabilities such as digital identity, agent registration and discovery, and A2A session management to build a low-latency, highly reliable network foundation, supporting the large-scale commercial deployment of physical AI.
Network intelligence: As service AI agents become more prevalent, they will generate diverse network experience requirements. For example, AI robots may require 100 Mbit/s bandwidth and 20 ms latency. Therefore, it is necessary to evolve from predefined rule networks to intent-driven networks, where network AI agents will understand the needs of different organizations, dynamically match resources, and implement a closed-loop process for policy generation, configuration, and delivery.
Service intelligence: Compared to OTT players, operators have more opportunities to provide inclusive intelligent services. Huawei supports operators’ service innovation through three key services, going beyond connectivity. AISF (Service Intelligence) will evolve from an interactive entry point to a full-featured personal assistant, integrating communication, content, and services. Communication experiences will shift toward immersive interactions, breaking through the boundaries of voice. The integration of computing and networks will continue to be commercialized, providing sustainable computing power support for AI inference and content generation.
Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to deepen the three-layer intelligent collaboration practice with operators, aiming to provide 7×24-hour inclusive intelligent connectivity, and work together to bring users a more efficient, convenient, and intelligent digital life, and create new value in the intelligent Internet era.
