VinFast EC Van - Super mobile electric cargo vehicle for 'transporters'

VinFast EC Van causes "hot topics" on forums

“This car is perfect for transporting goods or running a mobile service business,” account Tuan LA excitedly commented on a traffic forum about VinFast EC Van – a new small electric cargo vehicle model launched by VinFast.

Along with the above user comments, thousands of comments across forums about cars, logistics and startups… have exploded because of the appearance of the new VinFast model. “The square, strong design is true to VinFast style. The series of colors is also super eye-catching in photos. The cargo vehicle is so beautiful… it’s impossible to say anything,” commented Mr. Tran Van Tinh, who specializes in transporting food for stores in Ha Dong district, Hanoi, after seeing the car image released by VinFast.

Not only eye-catching, according to Mr. Tinh, the parameters on the EC Van also make many small cargo vehicles on the market "cry out". The EC Van has an overall size of up to 3,767 x 1,680 x 1,790 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,520 mm, far exceeding some gasoline vehicles that are popular with small traders and small shop owners today, which often have a wheelbase of less than 2 m. This means that users can carry more orders, reduce the number of trips, save time and effort while still being flexible enough to enter and exit small streets and crowded residential areas.

The EC Van's cargo compartment has a capacity of up to 2,600 liters and a payload of over 600 kg. According to Mr. Tinh, for those transporting household goods, consumer goods, food, and even electronic equipment, the above parameters are comfortable to use. Mr. Tinh is planning to invest in an EC Van to replace his old gasoline-powered cargo vehicle.

In terms of operation, the vehicle is equipped with an electric motor with a maximum capacity of 30 kW and a maximum torque of 110 Nm - an impressive figure compared to traditional gasoline vehicles with the same load. This is also a great advantage when moving in urban traffic conditions with many situations of stopping - going - turning sharply.

Car model opens up opportunities to get rich

Besides the size advantage, the "cheap as free" operating cost of EC Van is also the point that makes many shop owners and traders "nod their heads immediately".

Mr. Hoang Tien Manh, who runs a sofa cleaning service at home in Ho Chi Minh City, calculated that his daily travel needs are mainly to neighboring apartment buildings, with a round trip distance of about 100 km/day. Thus, each day, the fuel cost for the EC Van is only about a few tens of thousands of VND, while a gasoline vehicle with the same load capacity "consumes" many times more, up to 200,000 VND.

The difference in savings will be even greater if calculated by months and years. In particular, Mr. Manh calculated that if he received the car early, he could enjoy the free charging policy for all electric car owners, which is in effect until the end of June 2027. Thus, for about 1.5 years, he would hardly need to worry about usage costs.

Not only Mr. Manh, on forums, many people who bought used gasoline cars before also shared their intention to switch to EC Van to save money on gas, as well as to avoid worrying about repairs and maintenance. Electric cars do not need to change oil, air filters, spark plugs or maintain the gearbox - which means saving a lot of money and time each month.

“Not to mention, EC Van is a vehicle for service business but the warranty policy is very good: 5 years for the vehicle, 7 years for the battery, which is a level I have never seen in commercial vehicles. Normally, it only takes about 3 years to be ‘out of date’,” said Mr. Manh.

Therefore, with a price of only 285 million VND (including battery), and an additional discount of 10 million VND if you deposit from May 25 to 30, 2025, EC Van is considered by many to be a new "profitable asset" for business and delivery people, especially in the context that in the near future, old gasoline vehicles are likely to be restricted or banned from entering big cities according to emission control regulations.
