This first shipment was transported by private charter ship Silver Queen with a Panama flag. This is a specialized marine vessel carrying cars, capable of carrying a maximum of about 4,500 SUV-sized cars and a number of mini-buses.

According to VinFast, this is the first batch of 65,000 orders for VinFast VF8 and VF9 electric cars globally.

After the US market, VinFast will export the next batch of VF 8 cars to the Canadian and European markets to make available for customers in 2023.
