This remarkable achievement reaffirms VinFast's credibility and growing stature on the global stage, while celebrating the brand's commitment to delivering exceptional value to customers and shaping a more sustainable future of mobility across the region.

VinFast excelled by winning in six categories at the APAC Effie Awards.

Beating out global heavyweights from markets including Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, and India, VinFast claimed six gold-standard awards at APAC Effie Award that recognize excellence in marketing effectiveness, prizes regarded as benchmarks of how communications translate into measurable business results.

VinFast made history to be the only automotive brand that honors two of the year's most prestigious awards: Second Place in Brand of the Year 2025 and Third Place in Marketer of the Year 2025. These accolades represent a significant recognition of VinFast's relentless efforts in brand building, creativity, and development, while underscoring the company's commitment to delivering positive value to the community.

In the Automotive category, the VF 3 was cited for driving unprecedented business outcomes. Within just 66 hours of opening early reservations in Vietnam, the Company secured 27,649 pre-orders, an industry record. The judging panel described the achievement as "From Hype to History in 66 Hours".

In addition, VinFast earned honors in Shopper and eCommerce Marketing, a recognition that highlights VF 3's groundbreaking retail strategy. For the first time in Vietnam, automobiles were sold via e-commerce platforms, with transactions closed through live-streaming sessions hosted by key opinion leaders (KOLs).

In the Asia Pacific Brands category, VinFast was recognized for redefining brand storytelling across the region, creating not only an innovative product but also a disruptive narrative that resonates beyond its home market.

The Company also received the Marketing Disruptor award for the VF 3 launch campaign, which broke away from conventional norms and deployed inventive strategies to command extraordinary public attention.

Beyond Indonesia, VinFast continues to make its mark in key international markets such as India, the Philippines, the Middle East, Europe, and North America, steadily reinforcing its leadership position on the journey to win the hearts of global consumers.
