Under the agreement, the Kinshasa government will grant about 6,300 hectares of land for free to Vingroup to develop a riverside metropolis, and cooperate in converting more than 300,000 gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles, deploying an electric bus system and charging stations operated by VinFast and GSM.

The mega-urban project is planned in the area between the south bank of the Congo River and the north of N'djili International Airport, part of the capital's expansion plan. This is a modern urban complex including: residential areas, villas, apartments, hospitals, schools, commercial centers, hotels, entertainment areas and future headquarters of government agencies.

Mr. Daniel Bumba Lubaki, Governor of Kinshasa City, emphasized his welcome of Vingroup's presence in Kinshasa. With international experience in urban, housing and infrastructure development, he believes that the cooperation between the two sides will open an important turning point, contributing to creating a more civilized, modern and sustainable urban appearance for the people of Kinshasa.

According to a representative of VinGroup, the project's goal is to build a model urban center, contributing to improving the quality of life, changing the face of the capital and becoming a new symbol of development for Kinshasa.

In the field of green transportation, VinFast will provide electric vehicles, electric buses and participate in supporting the construction of rapid bus routes. Kinshasa City commits to allocating land for a charging station system, promoting the green energy transition process for the entire city.
