VinFast MPV 7 charges ahead as official fleet for the 44th ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting 2026

Eleven units of the VF MPV 7 will be used as the official electric vehicle fleet for delegates from ASEAN’s Dialogue Partners participating in the 44^th ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM44) and its Associated Meetings from Oct. 5-8, 2026.

The 44^th AMEM and its Associated Meetings will bring together energy ministers and senior officials from ASEAN Member States, Dialogue Partners, and international organizations to advance regional cooperation across key areas of the energy sector. As ASEAN’s principal ministerial platform for energy cooperation, AMEM provides strategic direction on regional priorities and initiatives aimed at strengthening energy security, accelerating the energy transition, expanding clean and renewable energy deployment, improving energy efficiency, and advancing greater connectivity and integration of energy systems across Southeast Asia.

The meetings will also provide a platform for ASEAN and its partners to deepen cooperation on emerging technologies, investment, infrastructure development, and other initiatives needed to meet the region’s growing energy demand while building a more secure, resilient, and sustainable energy future. 

As the official mobility partner of this year’s meeting, the deployment of the VF MPV 7 fleet demonstrates VinFast’s leadership in the local electric seven-seater segment. Promising a comfortable, zero-emission mobility experience for delegates throughout the event, this milestone highlights the viability of battery electric vehicles as a practical mobility solution.

Launched in the Philippines in May this year, the VF MPV 7 is VinFast’s premium seven-seater designed for Filipino families. Built with a spacious cabin optimized for multi-generational families, the electric MPV offers comfortable seating across three rows, up to 1,240 liters of cargo space, and a 60.13-kWh battery that delivers a driving range of up to 450 km on a full charge under NEDC standards. Its 150-kW electric motor and 280 Nm of torque provide the power needed for everyday drives and longer journeys.

This year’s ASEAN Energy Business Forum is a platform that brings together key stakeholders to advance solutions for a more sustainable and resilient energy future. For VinFast, the forum provides an important opportunity to contribute to conversations around clean energy and sustainable mobility, while highlighting the role of electric vehicles in supporting the region’s energy transition. The brand’s participation also reinforces its commitment to working with partners across ASEAN to drive innovation and help shape a cleaner, smarter future for mobility in the region.

As VinFast continues to expand its presence across Southeast Asia, the company remains focused on shaping a more sustainable and accessible future for mobility in the region. Through an integrated ecosystem grounded in sustainable innovation, spanning electric vehicles and charging solutions to ownership and aftersales support, VinFast is working to make electric mobility a practical part of everyday life while supporting the evolving needs of communities across the region.
