VinFast said it has received an order from Autonomy, the US’s largest electric vehicle subscription company, for more than 2,500 VF 8 and VF 9 vehicles at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2022 (LA Auto Show 2022).

This is VinFast's largest corporate order to date, and one of Autonomy's largest electric vehicle orders, affirming the acceptance of the international market for the Vietnamese automaker.

In August 2022, Autonomy ordered 23,000 electric vehicles across 17 different global automakers, including VinFast, to operate its subscription services. At that time, Autonomy planned to order 400 VF 8 and VF 9 models and has now officially increased the order to more than 2,500 vehicles.

Customers can learn about VinFast vehicles at any of VinFast’s six stores in California. Customers interested in subscribing to a VinFast through Autonomy can sign up via Autonomy's mobile app and receive the car directly from Autonomy's AutoNation pickup locations or have it delivered to their home.

According to the agreement, VinFast will begin delivering vehicles to Autonomy over the next 12 months as it starts exporting vehicles to international markets.

Autonomy's car subscription model offers the fastest, easiest and cheapest way for consumers to get an electric vehicle without long-term debt or the commitment that comes with buying or a traditional lease. Autonomy's monthly payment covers the traditional costs of ownership, including routine maintenance, roadside assistance (limitations apply), and standard wear and tear on tires. Autonomy's car subscription packages are also fully integrated with insurance for qualified subscribers.

In addition to VF 8 and VF 9, VinFast has also showcased VF 6 and VF 7 models presented in segments B and C at the LA Auto Show 2022. VinFast has already started delivering the VF 8 to Vietnamese customers and the VF 8 and VF 9 are currently open for global reservations. VinFast also offers flexible sales options for customers purchasing vehicles with batteries or with a battery subscription program. VinFast's EVs are also warranted for up to 10 years, one of the best warranty policies in the market. — VNS
