VinFast Auto Ltd. VFS shares are trading marginally higher in the premarket session on Wednesday.
Yesterday, the company officially launched its flagship VF 9 all-electric, 7-passenger, 3-row SUV in the U.S., marking a significant step in the company’s expansion into one of the world’s most competitive automotive markets.
The VF 9 is positioned as a premium choice in the full-size SUV segment, offering eco-conscious consumers a spacious, luxurious, and environmentally friendly alternative, with limited competition in the electric vehicle (EV) space, according to a press release.
