VinFast started in 2017 and has been producing electric vehicles since 2021. It already announced plans for a factory in the southern U.S. state of North Carolina. The factory there will cost $4 billion to complete and vehicle production is expected to begin this year.
VinFast成立于2017年，从2021年开始生产电动汽车。该公司已经宣布了在美国南部北卡罗来纳州建厂的计划。该工厂将耗资40亿美元建成，预计今年开始生产汽车。
VinFast brought its cars to market in the U.S. for the first time in 2023. The cars have not sold well in the U.S. because they have received some bad reviews and there are questions about their quality. VinFast officials, however, believe the company can succeed in the U.S.
VinFast于2023年首次将其汽车推向美国市场。这些汽车在美国的销量并不好，因为收到了一些差评，而且质量也存在问题。不过，VinFast的管理人士相信，该公司能够在美国取得成功。
The company's stock is listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, and, for a short time, its shares were worth more than Ford and General Motors. However, by the end of 2023, the company had lost more than $1.4 billion.
该公司的股票在纳斯达克证券交易所上市，在短期内，它的股票市值超过了福特和通用汽车。然而，到2023年底，该公司已经跌了超过14亿美元。
VinFast said it hopes to sell its cars in 50 markets by the end of 2024. It announced a $400 million factory in Indonesia late last year. VinFast cars will be used in Laos by Green SM, a taxi company mostly owned by VinFast's founder.
VinFast表示，希望到2024年底在50个市场销售自己的汽车。去年年底，该公司宣布在印尼投资4亿美元建厂。在老挝，出租车公司Green SM将使用VinFast汽车，该公司主要由VinFast创始人所有。
The production center is the first move by VinFast to enter the growing Indian market. The country has one of the fastest-growing electric vehicle markets in the world. India has launched a $1.3 billion plan to support electric vehicle manufacturing and use.
该生产中心是VinFast进入不断增长的印度市场的第一步，该国拥有世界上增长最快的电动汽车市场之一。印度已经启动了一项13亿美元的计划，以支持电动汽车的制造和使用。
However, of the 2.3 million EVs in use in India, most are inexpensive motorbikes, rickshaws and scooters. Some experts wonder if there are enough Indians who have the money to purchase a costly electric car.
然而，在印度使用的230万辆电动车辆中，大多数是廉价的摩托车、人力车和摩托车。一些专家怀疑是否有足够多的印度人有钱购买昂贵的电动汽车。
