As a leading manufacturer of vehicle air conditioning systems, we at Nanjing FUTRUN are pleased to share that we have held in-depth negotiations with local partners in Vietnam, focusing on the localized production of bus air conditioners. This initiative is our active response to the Vietnamese government's requirements for automotive industry localization, and we aim to support VinFast's bus projects with tailored, locally produced cooling solutions.
We recognize the strategic importance of Vietnam's automotive industry and the government's push for higher localization rates-currently set at ≥40% for commercial vehicles, with VinFast targeting an 84% localization rate by 2026. As a professional manufacturer with years of expertise in bus air conditioning systems, we are committed to aligning our operations with these goals, which is why we have engaged in detailed discussions with Vietnamese partners to establish a collaborative framework for localized production.
During our talks in Vietnam, we focused on how to jointly manufacture bus air conditioning systems locally, with a primary focus on supporting VinFast's electric bus production program. Our plan is to transfer our advanced bus air conditioning technology and manufacturing expertise to Vietnam, while our local partners will provide production facilities, labor resources, and market access-creating a win-win collaboration that benefits both parties and the local industry.
The proposed localized production will initially focus on developing customized air conditioning systems for VinFast's electric bus models, ensuring the products meet the specific needs of Vietnam's climate and bus operation scenarios. We will also work to localize component sourcing by partnering with Vietnamese suppliers for non-core parts, provide technical training and quality control support to the local workforce, and ensure all products comply with international standards and Vietnamese market requirements.
Having already established a presence in Vietnam with our truck parking air conditioner products, we are familiar with the local market and confident in our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance bus air conditioning solutions through localized production. This move not only supports VinFast's ambitious bus projects but also contributes to the development of Vietnam's automotive supply chain, offering more competitive pricing, faster delivery, and better after-sales support to local customers.
We are optimistic about the outcome of these negotiations and look forward to finalizing the partnership in the coming months. By localizing bus air conditioner production in Vietnam, we aim to strengthen our presence in Southeast Asia, uphold our commitment to supporting local industrial development, and continue delivering solutions that meet the needs of our partners and align with government initiatives.
