VinFast has partnered with Gowa Motor Group to establish a joint venture aimed at expanding its electric vehicle dealership network across Indonesia.
VinFast and Gowa Motor Group, an established Indonesian automotive group with experience representing multiple automotive brands, have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish the joint venture.
The partnership marks another step in VinFast’s efforts to strengthen its presence in Indonesia’s growing electric vehicle market. Through the collaboration, the two companies will work to bring VinFast’s electric vehicles, services and overall EV ownership experience closer to customers across the Indonesian archipelago.
Under the agreement, the joint venture will focus on developing and expanding VinFast’s dealership footprint throughout Indonesia. The companies are targeting the establishment of at least 30 showrooms and service centres, creating a broader retail and after-sales network for VinFast customers.
The partnership with Gowa Motor Group is expected to support VinFast’s long-term expansion strategy in Indonesia by improving customer access to its EV range while strengthening local sales and service capabilities.
The partnership reflects the two companies’ shared commitment to building a long-term strategic relationship in Indonesia’s growing electric vehicle market. By partnering with VinFast, Gowa Motor Group demonstrates its confidence in VinFast’s vision, capabilities, and the long-term potential of its electric mobility ecosystem.
The new network will serve as a key pillar of VinFast’s long-term growth strategy in Indonesia, offering VinFast’s electric vehicles alongside aftersales services, maintenance, and customer care that meet the company’s global standards. The partnership will contribute to VinFast’s broader plan to expand its dealership network in Indonesia. The company currently operates more than 40 showrooms nationwide and aims to add over 150 new showrooms in the coming years.
The agreement with Gowa Motor Group reinforces VinFast’s strategy of partnering with leading local companies to expand its distribution network, improve customer access to high-quality products and services, and support Indonesia’s transition toward greener transportation.
