VinFast officially inaugurates electric vehicle plant in Subang, Indonesia
The inauguration ceremony of the VinFast plant in Subang was attended by Dr. (H.C.) Ir. Airlangga Hartarto, M.B.A., M.M.T. – Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of Indonesia; Mr. Y.M. Arrmanatha C. Nasir – Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia; Mr. Andi Sudirman Sulaeman – Governor of South Sulawesi; Mr. H. Erwan Setiawan, S.E., Vice Governor of West Java Province; H.E. Mr. Ta Van Thong, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam to the Republic of Indonesia, along with representatives from Indonesia’s central and local ministries and government agencies, as well as VinFast’s strategic partners in the country.
The VinFast Subang plant was completed and put into operation just 17 months after groundbreaking, demonstrating the Company’s rapid execution capability and strong implementation capacity. This is VinFast’s fourth operational facility worldwide, and its first plant in Indonesia and Southeast Asia outside of Vietnam.
Bringing the plant into operation on schedule highlights VinFast’s firm commitment to promoting localization in alignment with the Indonesian Government’s strategy for developing the national electric vehicle industry. According to the roadmap, VinFast targets to swiftly increase the localization rate to more than 40% within 2026, 60% by 2029 and 80% from 2030 onwards following the Indonesia Government on industrial localization regulation, while actively fostering a supporting industrial ecosystem around the Subang complex.
Speaking at the ceremony, Dr. (H.C.) Ir. Airlangga Hartarto, M.B.A., M.M.T., Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, stated: “We highly commend VinFast for inaugurating its electric vehicle plant in Subang on schedule. This project closely aligns with the Government’s green industrial development agenda and serves as a strong catalyst for the local economy, particularly in job creation, workforce quality enhancement, and the growth of a supporting industrial ecosystem. With the scale and stature of this project, we firmly believe VinFast will become a key anchor, helping position Subang as a new EV industrial hub of the region in the near future.”
Mr. Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia, shared: “The timely inauguration of the Subang plant is not only a testament to VinFast’s strong execution capabilities, but more importantly, a strategic milestone in our long-term commitment to Indonesia. We firmly believe that localization is a decisive foundation for VinFast’s sustainable success in this market, while also directly contributing to the Indonesian Government’s objectives of economic growth, industrial development, and job creation. With the Subang plant now officially in operation, VinFast has completed one of the most comprehensive and integrated electric vehicle ecosystems in Indonesia, reaffirming our commitment to long-term partnership and shared value creation with the country.”
The VinFast plant in Subang is located on a 171-hectare site and is being developed in multiple phases with a total investment of more than USD 1 billion. In subsequent phases, its production capacity can be scaled up to 350,000 vehicles per year, positioning the facility to meet Indonesia’s growing market demand and to unlock future export opportunities.
In Phase 1, VinFast is investing over USD 300 million, with the plant achieving an initial capacity of 50,000 vehicles per year. The facility features a fully integrated production line built to international standards, with a high level of automation and advanced technologies to ensure superior product quality. It includes all core workshops such as Body Welding, Painting, Assembly, along with a Quality Inspection Center and a Logistics Warehouse.
Notably, the project also allocates land for the development of a supporting supplier park for local contractors and businesses, which is planned for expansion in the coming years, laying a solid foundation for deep and sustainable localization.
At full capacity, the VinFast Subang plant is expected to create between 5,000 and 15,000 direct jobs for local workers, along with thousands of indirect jobs across the supply chain and related services. This will serve as a powerful driver for the socio-economic development of Subang, which is being positioned as a new industrial growth center of West Java.
In the initial phase, the plant will focus on assembling VinFast’s strategic EV models, including VF 3, VF 5, VF 6 and VF 7 (right-hand drive versions), for the Indonesian market. These models are well-suited for urban mobility, targeting young consumers and modern families.
The factory will also be responsible for assembling new models scheduled for launch in Indonesia in 2026, including electric two-wheelers, and electric MPV optimized for commercial and service-oriented mobility operations.
The inauguration of the VinFast Subang plant clearly reinforces VinFast’s role in building the electric vehicle value chain in Indonesia, contributing to the elevation of Southeast Asia’s position on the global EV industry map. The plant will serve as a critical backbone for VinFast’s comprehensive “For a Green Future” ecosystem in Indonesia.
In less than two years of presence in the market, the Company has introduced a diverse product portfolio while continuously expanding its service ecosystem, from a robust dealer network and aftersales centers to a widespread charging infrastructure enabled through collaboration with global charging developer V-Green, as well as partnerships with leading banks and financial institutions. Through pioneering policies and customer-centric solutions, VinFast is actively accelerating the green transition, reaffirming its role as a trailblazer in Indonesia’s green mobility revolution and across the wider region.Hashtag: #VinFast

CUKTECH Officially Launches Its Online Store in Indonesia, Expanding Charging Technology Presence in Southeast Asia
CUKTECH focuses on the development of power and charging solutions, with a product portfolio that includes power banks, charging cables, wall chargers, and car chargers. Product development emphasizes charging efficiency, safety standards, and long-term reliability, addressing everyday usage scenarios involving smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other connected devices. The brand’s solutions are designed to support increasingly common multi-device lifestyles, including mobile work and frequent travel.
Prior to the launch of the official online store, CUKTECH operated in Indonesia mainly through third-party distribution channels, resulting in limited product availability. With the establishment of an official channel, the company is gradually introducing a more complete product lineup to the Indonesian market, aligning local availability with that of other Southeast Asian markets such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
According to the company, the official online store serves as a centralized platform for presenting product specifications, technical features, and launch updates in a consistent manner. This approach is intended to improve transparency and accessibility for consumers while supporting a more structured, long-term market strategy in Indonesia.
Looking ahead, CUKTECH plans to continue expanding its product portfolio in Indonesia, introducing additional products to address evolving local usage needs. Future launches will focus on scenarios such as multi-device charging, mobile productivity, and daily commuting, reflecting changing consumer behavior.
This market-oriented approach aligns with CUKTECH’s brand philosophy, “In somewhere, For somewhere,” which emphasizes adapting products and solutions to the specific needs of each market rather than applying a uniform global model.
Updates on product launches, brand developments, and the official online store can be found through CUKTECH’s official social media channels on Instagram and TikTok:cuktech_id

Under the partnership structure, Green SM provides the technology platform, all-electric vehicle fleet, operational standards, and driver development system, while Taksi Komotra contributes its established local expertise and network across Bali. The collaboration integrates electric mobility technology with on-the-ground operational capabilities to deliver a scalable, governance-driven transportation model.
Operations in Bali are implemented under Green SM’s “5 Green Promises” service commitment framework. Established as a foundational operating standard since the company’s inception, the framework ensures that each ride delivers an excellent customer experience, professional drivers, high-quality and safe vehicles, fair and transparent pricing, and a meaningful contribution to environmental sustainability.
The service operates an all-electric fleet that produces no exhaust emissions or fuel combustion. All vehicles are maintained under strict technical and safety protocols to ensure consistent service performance while contributing to cleaner air and quieter urban environments.
A central pillar of the launch is the Green SM Driver ecosystem. Drivers are positioned as professional green mobility ambassadors guided by five core values: Respect, Professionalism, Dedication, Discipline, and Competitive Income with Stable Career Pathways. Structured training, transparent earnings mechanisms, and disciplined service governance aim to elevate driving into a respected profession while maintaining safety and reliability as foundational standards. This framework aligns income stability with environmental responsibility, reinforcing the role of drivers in supporting Bali’s sustainable tourism trajectory.
The launch comes amid rising mobility demand driven by tourism growth and daily transportation needs across the island. The Indonesia Tourism Outlook 2025 report notes a sustained shift toward environmentally responsible travel, underscoring the relevance of electric mobility in long-term development planning. According to projections from Indonesia’s National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), green employment nationwide is expected to reach 4.8-5.3 million by 2029, reflecting the broader economic potential of sustainable industries.
Mr. Deny Tjia, Managing Director of Green SM Indonesia, said: “The partnership with Taksi Komotra reflects our long-term commitment to building a high-quality, well-governed mobility ecosystem in Indonesia. By combining electric vehicles with professional driver development and clear operational standards, we aim to support Bali’s sustainable tourism ambitions while delivering safe, reliable, and comfortable rides for the community.”
H. Hasbi, Chairman of Koperasi Komotra, said: “We are proud to partner with Green SM to introduce electric taxis in Bali. Electric mobility will become part of the new standard for tourism and daily transportation on the island, and this collaboration helps us better serve local residents and visitors while preparing for the future of sustainable transport.”
The Bali launch marks another strategic milestone in Green SM’s expansion in Indonesia, following earlier operations in key markets including Jakarta, Makassar, Bekasi, and Surabaya. In these cities, the service has been positively received by local residents and international visitors alike, who value its clean electric fleet, professional drivers, and structured safety standards that enhance travel confidence.
With its growing presence across the country, Green SM continues to build a scalable electric mobility ecosystem that balances environmental responsibility, service excellence, and inclusive economic growth.

Launched on February 14, the “Chinese Folk Music Odyssey” featured seven major concerts alongside a series of academic and grassroots cultural exchanges. The tour served as a high-level dialogue between the traditional heritage of China’s Jiangnan region and the classical musical heartlands of Europe.
The tour opened at the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, where a capacity crowd of 2,000 experienced the vibrant Spring Festival Overture. The ensemble presented a “Chinese Music Feast,” using traditional instruments to paint an auditory “Jiangnan Scroll” of southern Chinese life. In a poignant finale, Chinese fiddles joined forces with local keyed violins to perform the classic Horse Racing. The fusion of Eastern and Western strings brought tears to the eyes of the Chinese diaspora and earned standing ovations from local attendees.
“The melodies possess both natural charm and profound cultural heritage,” noted Belgian music critic Philippe, following six curtain calls. “It is a truly borderless musical exchange.”
Beyond the concert halls, the group engaged with European pop culture in the heart of Brussels’ Comic Strip district. A “flash mob” titled Tintin’s Encounter with Jiangnan Music saw musicians performing alongside iconic murals of Tintin, engaging local youth and residents through social media-friendly cultural interaction.
The journey continued through Germany’s elite venues, including Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie and the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, showcasing the technical precision of Chinese folk orchestration. In the Austrian Tyrol, the tour took an improvisational turn as Wuxi musicians performed alongside local artists against the backdrop of the Alps, a live demonstration of the “beauty without borders”.
The tour concluded on February 26 in Vienna, where the ensemble hosted the “Dreamy Jiangnan” cultural salon at the Wiener Konzerthaus. The event paired musical performances with an interactive exhibition of Wuxi’s intangible cultural heritage, featuring traditional embroidery and clay figurines. The delegation also visited the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna for the “Jiangnan Charm, Harmonious Resonance” China-Austria Music Exchange event. Through a series of academic dialogues with faculty and students, both sides engaged in a meaningful cultural encounter. These interactions went beyond simple performances, significantly deepening mutual understanding and strengthening the musical ties between East and West.
By integrating the “Voice of China” into the “World Symphony,” the Wuxi Cultural Exchange Group has opened a new chapter in Wuxi’s enduring musical engagement with the world.
