On May 18, 2026, V-GREEN announced the signing of two MOUs in the Philippines. The first MOU with the Bataan provincial government outlines a partnership to develop a network of EV charging and battery swap stations across one city and 11 municipalities in Bataan. V-GREEN will provide equipment, installation, and maintenance, while the government will facilitate permitting and strategic site selection.
The second MOU with Clean Fuel aims to integrate EV charging infrastructure into Clean Fuel’s existing retail network, starting with high-traffic locations in Dasmariñas, Cavite.

The Philippines represents a key market for VinFast’s regional growth strategy, given its large population and growing demand for sustainable transport.
Strategic Significance
The MOUs signal Vingroup’s commitment to building EV infrastructure ahead of vehicle sales, a strategy that reduces range anxiety and supports adoption. By partnering with local governments and fuel retailers, V-GREEN gains access to prime locations and regulatory support, lowering deployment costs. For VIC, the expansion diversifies its revenue streams beyond real estate and into recurring infrastructure income.
