The VinBus-branded low-floor electric city bus is produced by VinFast, Vingroup's automotive subsidiary, at the company's Automobile Manufacture Complex located in Hai Phong. The bus is powered by a 281 kWh battery pack which gives the bus up to 260 km (160 mi) of range. Using the VinBus-designated 150 kWh DC fast-charging stations provided by StarCharge, the battery can be charged within ~2 hours.^[3][4] Batteries used by the VinBus fleet are provided by a joint venture between VinFast and LG Chem, while other components are supplied by Siemens.^[2]

Transit service

VinBus currently operates three bus transit networks in the cities of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Haiphong and Phú Quốc City.^[5]
