\u201cWe are proud that VinFast, a new and the first local vehicle manufacturer in Vietnam, has made the initiative to have their cars assessed by ASEAN NCAP. Although this is their first time going through the assessment, we are pleased that VinFast has ensured their newly manufactured cars meet ASEAN NCAP requirement in order to make the cars safer on the road. Hence, ASEAN NCAP would like to congratulate VinFast for achieving two 5-Star ratings and one 4-Star in this round of assessment. As we are approaching the new assessment protocol for 2021-2025, we hope these models and other VinFast models would be able to meet the new assessment requirement in order for us to halve the number of road death by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n

ASEAN NCAP Secretary-General, Professor (Adjunct) Ir. Dr. Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim said:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the first vehicle manufacturer in Vietnam, VinFast has made an outstanding performance of producing various types of vehicles for the Vietnam market. ASEAN NCAP is proud that even a new automobile manufacturer is prioritizing safety in their production line-up. From the assessments, we can see that VinFast has made impressive effort in elevating the occupants\u2019 protection under the 2017-2020 protocol by equipping ESC and SBR for frontal occupants as standard across all variants. We hope that other existing manufacturers that have not equipped better safety technologies in their vehicles will follow this important footstep of producing safer cars for the consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n
