VinFast partners with akf-Bank to expand electric-vehicle sales in Germany
The deal is aimed at jointly developed financing solutions for dealers, and VinFast plans to pair the effort with its German lineup that includes the VF 6, VF 8, and electric buses.
VinFast has announced a strategic partnership with akf-Bank to support its sales growth in Germany, with both companies saying they will develop financing solutions designed around dealers’ needs.
VinFast said the program is intended to give retail partners greater flexibility while encouraging wider adoption of electric vehicles in Germany, where it positions a dealer network as important to its long-term growth.
VinFast Europe CEO Christian Marti said Germany is a key European market and that partnering with akf-Bank supports dealers’ growth, while akf-Bank’s Rainer Bickel said the automotive industry’s transformation is creating opportunities for manufacturers and dealers.
The companies also pointed to VinFast’s expansion across Europe, listing models in Germany including the VF 6 electric SUV, the VF 8 electric SUV, and electric buses, along with additional partnerships that include Mobivia for aftersales and Plugsurfing as a charging partner, according to Just Auto via Yahoo Finance.
