Quan Anh currently holds 150,000 Vingroup shares. He is also a shareholder in several companies in Vingroup’s ecosystem such as VinEnergo, VinRobotics and VinSpace.
VinFast posted VND18.1 trillion (US$687 million) in revenue in the third quarter, up 46.8% year-on-year. It sold 38,200 electric cars, a 74% increase.
The company posted a net loss of VND23.95 trillion, an 81% increase from the loss recorded in the same period last year.
As of Sep. 30, VinFast’s accumulated losses had reached VND329.72 trillion. In 2023, Vuong said the automaker was expected to incur losses for several years.
VinFast was founded in 2017 by Vuong. Four years later, the company shifted entirely to electric vehicle production, closing its gasoline car segment.
But it may start to add hybrid vehicles to its product lineup as early as next year.
