  • Deliveries surged 61% year over year to 58,577 vehicles in Q1 2026, while electric two-wheeler deliveries jumped 219% to about 143,000 units, underscoring strong demand momentum in Vietnam and select international markets.
  • VinFast said its adjusted gross margin improved materially to -22.5% in Q1 from -47.2% in Q4, excluding the impact of the extended free charging program, revenue deferrals, and NRV adjustments. The company also reported revenue growth of 41.7% year over year.
