VinFast Auto Ltd. plans to invest as much as $1.2 billion in Indonesia “in the long-term” as it looks to expand in Southeast Asia after entering the US auto market.

The investment will include $150 million to $200 million for an Indonesian production facility to begin operating in 2026 with a manufacturing capacity of 30,000 to 50,000 cars per year, the Vietnamese EV maker said in a F-1 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
