VinFast announced on May 3 a partnership with I-CAR®, the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair, to improve the capability of the VinFast Certified Collision Network (VCCN) and the professional skills of its technicians to meet international standards.

Under the partnership, I-CAR will provide the VCCN with the Professional Development Program (PDP™), an accredited training roadmap on collision repair. The program offers a recognised path for this training, providing repair technicians with the knowledge and skills needed to perform complete, safe, and quality repairs. Through PDP™, the VCCN will be able to maintain their I-CAR Gold Class™ status and I-CAR Welding Training & Certifications. This is a guarantee that certified collision centers will have clear criteria for vehicle repair quality that meet international standards.

I-CAR is a non-profit organisation focused on improving the quality and safety of auto collision repair for the ultimate benefit of both the industry and the consumer. As one of the industry education leaders, I-CAR has now partnered with more than 20 OEMs around the world, including established legacy manufacturers to newer and EV-focused brands. — VNS
