VinFast Trading and Service Limited Liability Company, a subsidiary automaker of Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, said it has chosen B-EV Motors as its electric vehicle distributor representative in Israel.

VinFast's first two electric car models, VF 8 and VF 9, will be made available for reservation in the Israeli market by the fourth quarter of 2022 and come with a 10-year or the first 200,000-km warranty policy.

Le Thi Thu Thuy, Vingroup's Vice Chairwoman and VinFast Global CEO, said: "Our vision has been set on becoming a global electric vehicle brand from the very beginning. Israel is an ideal destination for our global expansion and journey toward the Future of Mobility. B-EV Motors will join us in laying a solid foundation for VinFast's presence in this market. Most importantly, we share the same vision for electrified mobility: transportation must be greener, smarter, and always enjoyable on every journey."

Niv Oron, Co-CEO of B-EV, said: "We are proud to represent and distribute VinFast electric vehicles in Israel. We believe that VinFast will quickly gain an important position in the electric vehicle industry through its exquisite designs, high quality, and advanced technologies."

The VF 8 and VF 9 debuted at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show and CES 2022.

Israel's goal of reaching 100 per cent electric vehicles on its roads by 2030 and the adaptability of its transportation infrastructure represent the driving forces behind the country's development of electrified mobility. — VNS
