Inside VinFast's Hai Phong bus plant: European-spec EB8 and EB12 under development - Sustainable Bus
"Bus manufacturing activities are carried out in a dedicated 50,000-square-meter facility organized into construction, paint and final assembly shops. Vehicle construction requires approximately seven days, followed by one day for painting and twelve days for final assembly, bringing the total production cycle to roughly 20 days. The plant operates on three shifts and employs around 500 blue-collar workers."
"Production activities are distributed across four separate lines dedicated respectively to 6-, 8-, 10- and 12-meter buses. While the domestic Vietnamese product range currently extends up to 10 meters, the 12-meter platform is intended for the European market only. The 6-meter product is the latest added to the Vietnamite range, while development activities are also underway on a new 12-meter coach expected to be launched by the end of 2026, for the domestic market only."
"One of the core industrial processes at the site is the cataphoresis treatment system, consisting of nine treatment pools. According to the manufacturer, the complete cataphoresis cycle takes approximately two hours."
