VinFast Expands European Presence with New Dealers

Paris, France- VinFast, a subsidiary of Vietnam’s leading conglomerate Vingroup JSC, has taken a major step in its European expansion by signing dealership agreements with ASTRADA SIMVA in France and Schachtschneider Automobile GmbH & Co KG in Germany.

The agreement with ASTRADA SIMVA marks VinFast’s first official dealership partnership in France, with a showroom set to open in Aix-en-Provence by June 2025. In Germany, Schachtschneider Automobile will establish three new authorized showrooms, adding to VinFast’s growing presence in the market following earlier collaborations with Autohaus Hübsch.

These new showrooms will offer customers the opportunity to explore, test drive, and purchase VinFast’s all-electric VF 6 (B-segment) and VF 8 (D-segment) models. They will also provide full after-sales services including warranty, parts, and maintenance, ensuring a complete customer support experience.

VinFast will support its partners with comprehensive training programs to ensure dealer staff are equipped with expert knowledge in both product features and service procedures.

This expansion is part of VinFast’s broader strategy to grow its global dealership network across key European markets such as Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The goal is to increase brand visibility, improve operational efficiency, and meet the rising demand for electric vehicles—further reinforcing VinFast’s commitment to a greener mobility future in Europe.

Mr. Chris Durand, CEO of ASTRADA SIMVA, said, “We are proud to collaborate with VinFast, an innovative and fast-growing EV brand. Bringing the VF 6 and VF 8 models to Aix-en-Provence presents a great opportunity to diversify our offerings and give our customers exciting new choices. The arrival of stylish, quiet, and emission-free vehicles will enhance life in a region that is celebrated for its harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.”
