At the world’s largest bus and coach exhibition, the company will present two advanced all-electric models – EB 8 and EB 12 – both designed to meet stringent EU standards.
The EB 12 has been fully certified with UNECE and CE approvals. The model is specifically designed for European operations, taking into account local regulations and infrastructure, from size and configuration to range and charging compatibility, to ensure a smooth integration into the market.
Both models are equipped with LFP battery packs from trusted global leaders like CATL and Gotion, offering capacities of up to 422 kWh and a real-world range of up to 400 km. Fast charging at up to 140 kW ensures a full turnaround within 2 to 3 hours.
The buses feature onboard smart systems, including passive ADAS features such as blind spot detection, intelligent speed assist, forward collision warning, and drowsiness detection. Passenger amenities include charging ports, infotainment systems, and a kneeling suspension.
VinFast also revealed a wider strategy to enter the European public transport market, seeking partnerships with leading specialists and suppliers in Europe’s transport and infrastructure sectors, to ensure a strong and sustainable presence for its electric buses across the continent.
The company first rolled out its electric buses in Vietnam four years ago, serving as a cornerstone of the country's first-ever electric bus network.
In Vietnam, VinFast has established a fully operational electric bus ecosystem, producing, deploying, and maintaining fleets that power public transit in major cities. It has a production capacity of 1,500–2,000 electric buses per year, with all manufacturing processes being CE-compliant.
VinFast’s mission is aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement and Europe’s green transition goals: a 43 per cent reduction in emissions by 2030, 90 per cent new buses to be zero-emission by 2030, and 100 per cent by 2035.
In the European market, VinFast already established the VF 6 B-segment and VF 8 D-segment electric SUVs.
Le Thi Thu Thuy, Chairwoman of VinFast, shared: “Europe shares VinFast’s vision of a green and sustainable future and the launch of our VinFast electric bus models at Busworld is a strong statement of VinFast’s long-term commitment to the region. Beyond individual electric cars, we are building a comprehensive green transformation ecosystem to make electrified transport more accessible than ever. With an increasingly diverse product range, we are confident we can contribute to creating a zero-emission transport system and a cleaner, greener life for Europeans.”
