  • Rhenus Extends Capabilities in Specialized Warehousing in Thailand with new Dangerous Goods Warehouse in Bangkok

    • The new warehouse enhances the company’s footprint in providing companies support in specialized goods logistics
    • The addition is in line with the company’s plans in Asia Pacific to better support present and future storage needs for general commodities and specialized goods
    BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 May 2026 – Rhenus Group, a leading global logistics provider, has opened a new dangerous goods warehouse in Bangkok, Thailand. Strategically located near key ports, and next to its current KM19 warehouse in Bangna Trad, the new warehouse aims to strengthen its capabilities in Thailand, as well as the region, in specialized warehousing services.

    Thailand’s warehousing market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% from 2023 to 2028. This is primarily due to the expansion of the e-commerce sector, increasing foreign direct investment in manufacturing, and the rising demand for third-party logistics services. The development of specialized warehousing is also gaining traction due to growing demand for temperature-sensitive and high-value goods.

    The 5,817 sqm purpose-built Dangerous Goods compliant facility connects conveniently to key logistics infrastructure and its existing KM19 warehouse, optimizing operational efficiency for its customers. The warehouse will open in phases from now onwards, to support companies with a mix of dangerous and non-dangerous goods cargo, enabling integrated storage and handling within one site while maintaining clear segregation and compliance requirements. Key features of the warehouse include 90-minute fire-rated walls and doors, explosion-proof electrical components, fire pumps and sprinklers rated for dangerous goods and explosion-proof ventilation.

    Marcus Fornell, Regional Head of Rhenus APAC Warehousing Solutions, said, “As more manufacturing businesses incorporate the China+1 strategy and increase capabilities in Southeast Asia, Rhenus is scaling up its presence in this region to support the varied storage needs – from general to specialized manufacturing industries’ needs. As one of our regional hubs, we will continue to invest in Thailand with more flexible resource allocation solutions.”

    Rhenus in Thailand

    Established in 1994 and with 14 locations across Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Khon Kaen, Rhenus offers services across a large variety of industries such as consumer retail, high-tech, industrial, agricultural, chemical, automotive, fashion, e-commerce, life sciences & healthcare, aviation and manufacturing industries. On top of its warehousing capabilities, various services are also available including air, ocean and road freight, project logistics, on-board courier and 24-hour NFO (next flight out) services.

    “The new facility enhances our ability to provide fully integrated warehousing solutions for customers with both DG and non-DG requirements. Positioned within our KM19 main site, the key logistics hub in Thailand, we can leverage on shared resources, optimize costs, and deliver operational flexibility while maintaining the highest safety and compliance standards. This also enables us to offer scalable and efficient solutions which align with customers’ evolving supply chain needs,” said Pakpoom Chaokaweepong, General Manager – Warehousing Solution Operations, Rhenus Thailand.
    Details of the new warehouse:
    Address: 601 Moo 15, Bang Sao Thong Sub-District, Bang Sao Thong District, Samut Prakarn Province 10570.

  • Katie Rodgers’ ‘Garden of Time’: SAINT BELLA Redefines the Postpartum Journey Through Art

    Katie Rodgers’ ‘Garden of Time’: SAINT BELLA Redefines the Postpartum Journey Through Art

    SHANGHAI, CHINA – EQS Newswire – 11 May 2026 – For Mother’s Day 2026, SAINT BELLA, the luxury maternity and infant care brand, chose a more intimate approach. Through an artistic collaboration with American contemporary artist Katie Rodgers, the brand transformed the 28-day postpartum journey into five artful keepsakes — physical expressions of its enduring belief: to love the baby, you must first love the mother. In doing so, SAINT BELLA moved beyond conventional celebration and offered something deeper: recognition, understanding, and quiet reverence for the postpartum period.

    Katie Rodgers’ 'Garden of Time': SAINT BELLA Redefines the Postpartum Journey Through Art

    Mother’s Day has long been framed as a season of gratitude — a moment to thank mothers for their devotion and to celebrate the grandeur of maternal love. Yet this perspective often remains incomplete, viewing motherhood primarily from the outside, and too rarely from within. The postpartum experience — those fragile, transformative weeks after childbirth — is too often glossed over in the rush to celebrate the arrival of a new life.

    At the heart of the campaign is SAINT BELLA Lullaby, a co-created artwork with Rodgers. Known for her nature-inspired, impressionistic style, Rodgers renders swans, fledglings, and flowering branches in soft, dreamlike strokes — evoking the gentle, protective atmosphere that a new mother needs during her postpartum recovery. The work becomes the visual and emotional nucleus of the project — a quiet, luminous world shaped by tenderness rather than commerce.

    In SAINT BELLA’s philosophy, motherhood is not a single triumphant moment, but a gradual, vulnerable, and deeply human passage — and the postpartum phase is its most intimate chapter. Through this collaboration, the brand reframes that passage as something worthy of ritual, beauty, and lasting memory.

    Beyond Praise: The Desire to Be Understood

    Over the past eight years, SAINT BELLA has consistently asked a more nuanced question: what, precisely, should be remembered about becoming a mother? The answer centers on the postpartum experience — a period that is often medically managed but rarely emotionally honored.

    The answer begins with a feeling many new mothers know intimately — the sense of becoming a “tool” in the intensity of newborn care, valued for function rather than presence. During the postpartum weeks, women are often praised for their sacrifice but rarely asked how they are truly feeling. SAINT BELLA’s campaign gently resists this reduction. It proposes that becoming a mother is not an event to be staged, but an experience to be honored over time — especially in the vulnerable postpartum days. Today’s women do not only wish to be celebrated; they long to be truly seen and understood.

    A World Rendered in Softness: Katie Rodgers’ Vision for the Postpartum Mother

    To translate this philosophy into visual language, SAINT BELLA partnered with Katie Rodgers. Her signature imagery — swans, chicks, deer, and delicate blossoms — creates an atmosphere of renewal, quiet abundance, and gentle protection — exactly the emotional landscape a mother needs during her postpartum journey.

    The resulting piece, SAINT BELLA Lullaby, serves as more than an artwork; it is an atmosphere — a sanctuary where the postpartum mother is restored to the center, where her recovery is honored, and where the baby’s earliest days are enveloped in beauty.

    From Service to Keepsake: Honoring the 28-Day Postpartum Journey

    The 28 days of the postpartum journey consist of fleeting, often invisible moments — tender, repetitive, and profoundly personal. These are the moments that define early motherhood — a middle-of-the-night feeding, a quiet tear, the first time a mother looks in the mirror and barely recognizes herself. SAINT BELLA transforms these moments into tangible keepsakes that can be touched, held, and cherished for years to come.

    1. The 100% Cotton Nursing Dress — Reimagined in premium natural cotton with thoughtful side openings for nursing and delicate embroidery at the hem, this dress combines ease with quiet elegance — honoring the postpartum mother’s body with both comfort and dignity.
    2. The Custom Walnut Chopsticks Gift Set — A quietly powerful gesture that acknowledges a subtle truth: during the postpartum period, mothers are so often expected to nourish others while neglecting themselves. By elevating the mother’s own dining utensils into refined walnut art chopsticks, SAINT BELLA affirms that her nourishment matters too.
    3. The Artistic Umbilical Cord Bottle — The severing of the umbilical cord marks the first tender separation in the postpartum journey. Preserved in a translucent, jewel-like vessel, this fleeting fragment becomes a ceremonial keepsake — a symbol of origin, connection, and the beginning of two separate journeys.
    4. The Newborn Handmade Soap Gift Box — With the guidance of a dedicated concierge, mothers may choose from 12 custom molds and 6 natural fragrance notes to create a soap that is uniquely theirs. In the midst of the postpartum transition, the process offers a moment of tactile authorship and calm reflection.
    5. Art Coloring — Mothers are invited to bring their personal vision of the “Garden of Time” to life, blending colors and lines in a gentle, therapeutic journey co-created with artist Katie Rodgers. Each brushstroke becomes a moment of self-reflection; every splash of color, an emotional release that blooms freely on the page.

    “We are not simply offering a room and a care service — we are offering a stretch of time that deserves to be remembered,” said Minee Lin , co-founder of SAINT BELLA. “The postpartum period is not a problem to be solved, but a passage to be honored.”

    With this Mother’s Day initiative, SAINT BELLA further establishes itself not merely as a postpartum care provider, but as a curator of a more elevated, intentional way of living. In its Garden of Time, there is no urgency, no excess, only softness, ceremony, and the unmistakable feeling of being deeply held — as a mother, and as oneself — through every stage of the postpartum journey.

  • Morinaga Introduces Mori-Mama, Reflecting an Advanced, More Holistic Approach to Maternal Nutrition

    KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 May 2026 – Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. (Morinaga), a Japan-based nutrition company and Japan’s leading dairy producer, today launched its maternal milk, Mori-Mama, an advanced maternal product developed to support women from preconception through pregnancy and lactation.

    With over a century of expertise in nutritional science, Morinaga has long focused on providing essential nutrition across different life stages. The introduction of Mori-Mama reflects a broader shift in maternal and early life nutrition — one that is increasingly centred not only on nutrient intake, but on how effectively nutrients are absorbed and utilised by the body.

    This shift comes amid ongoing nutritional challenges. In Malaysia, anaemia during pregnancy remains a notable concern, with approximately 28.8% of pregnant women affected as of 2023, according to World Bank data. Studies have also shown that prevalence can range widely from around 19% to over 50%, underscoring the variability in maternal nutritional status.

    This shift is particularly relevant during pregnancy, where nutritional demands are heightened and tolerance to certain supplements can vary. Iron deficiency remains one of the most common contributing factors, while increasing attention is being placed on how well nutrients are tolerated — particularly as some women experience discomfort with conventional supplementation. As a result, there is growing emphasis on approaches that support both efficacy and overall maternal experience.

    Mori-Mama was developed in response to these evolving needs, bringing together key nutrients with functional ingredients such as lactoferrin — an iron-binding protein naturally found in high amount in breast milk alongside a synbiotic blend of Bifidobacterium longum BB536 and FOS (prebiotic fibre), supporting both iron absorption and gut health.

    “Maternal nutrition today is being viewed through a more holistic lens, with greater awareness of how the body responds to what is consumed,” said Ms. Brenda Liew, Managing Director, OZ Marketing. “This is shaping the way nutritional solutions are developed, with a stronger focus on absorption, tolerance and overall well-being.”

    Rather than segmenting support across different stages, Mori-Mama is positioned as a single, continuous formulation, aligning with the needs of women seeking more streamlined and practical approaches to nutrition from preparing for pregnancy through to motherhood.

    As expectations around maternal health continue to shift, there is increasing recognition that nutritional support must begin earlier and extend further — from pre-conception through to pregnancy and beyond. The introduction of Mori-Mama reflects a more deliberate move towards solutions that address this continuum, supporting women in a way that is both relevant and responsive to their real experiences.

    About Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd.

    Morinaga is one of the leading dairy product companies in Japan with a century of history harnessing the nutritional properties of dairy products and functional ingredients.

    About Bifidobacterium longum BB536 Probiotic

    Morinaga is also a key global probiotics manufacturer that excels in innovative technology and offers a premium line of probiotics and functional ingredients worldwide. Since the 1960s, Morinaga has been engaged in research on the safety, functional health benefits, and mechanisms of action of probiotic bifidobacteria to better understand their role in maintaining human health.

    About Lactoferrin

    Present in most exocrine secretions such as breast milk and saliva of humans and other mammals, lactoferrin is a component with a wide range of physiological functions. The high amount of lactoferrin found in human breast milk, especially in colostrum, is considered to offer
    important and protective benefits to newborns.
    Paying high attention to the fact that lactoferrin is highly abundant in colostrum, Morinaga has been focusing its research efforts on lactoferrin over the long term to develop infant formula that closely resembles breast milk. Since its initial publication of a research paper on lactoferrin in 1963, Morinaga has been reporting its benefits through academic forums, conferences and publications.

  • InvestHK promotes Hong Kong as strategic gateway for African enterprises to expand in Asia

    InvestHK promotes Hong Kong as strategic gateway for African enterprises to expand in Asia

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 May 2026 – Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) is set to broaden its strategic engagement with the African continent as Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Ms Loretta Lee today (May 10) embarks on an eight-day visit to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Kigali, Rwanda. The mission aims to strengthen economic ties with African economies and promote Hong Kong as the premier springboard for African enterprises to tap into the Chinese Mainland and Asia-Pacific markets.

    InvestHK promotes Hong Kong as strategic gateway for African enterprises to expand in Asia

    Ms Lee said, “Africa holds a strategic position in the Global South, representing a vital engine of growth in an era of global economic uncertainty. Interconnectivity is the key to unlocking this potential, and Hong Kong plays a strategic role in linking capital, talent, and innovation and technology between Africa, the Chinese Mainland, and international markets to drive high-quality, multilateral growth. As the Government’s arm for both inward investment and Chinese Mainland enterprises aiming to go global, InvestHK facilitates two-way investment through strategic market insights, extensive global access, targeted promotion and policy facilitation. ”

    Ms Lee will visit Johannesburg from May 10 to 13 to meet with representatives from the local chambers, financial institutions, banks, fintech interests, and business and professional services sectors. Extending her mission to Kigali, Rwanda, from May 13, Ms Lee will represent InvestHK at the Africa CEO Forum to drive high-level exchanges with C-suite executives from the continent’s leading multinationals.

    African enterprises establishing a presence in Hong Kong can benefit from a globally recognised common law system and Asia’s most competitive tax regime. Most recently, Hong Kong has further sharpened its competitive edge by announcing a halve in the profits tax to 8.25 per cent from the standard 16.5 per cent for qualifying physical commodity traders. By combining this fiscal incentive with the city’s status as the world’s pre-eminent offshore Renminbi hub, Hong Kong offers African commodities exporters a high-liquidity, efficient gateway to Asian markets.

    In line with the advancement of the National 15th Five-Year Plan, Hong Kong is leveraging its status as a “super connector” and “super value-adder” to support national development. As China-Africa economic relations pivot towards high-value trade and investment, Hong Kong is uniquely positioned to accelerate two-way capital flows – spurring growth across finance, shipping, and innovation and technology.

    Citing the South African national rugby team’s recent first-ever title at the Hong Kong Sevens, Ms Lee emphasised that such vibrant people-to-people connections are not merely symbolic, but serve as a meaningful foundation for driving bilateral economic connection.

    SNP advances its AI capabilities for unstructured data

    • Unstructured data represents around 80% of the enterprise data footprint and remains largely inaccessible to traditional transformation tools
    • SNP and New York based Structify establish joint venture company Oros Data LLC, focused on AI-enabled processing of unstructured data at scale
    • The new solution extends SNP’s Kyano® platform to process unstructured data in M&A transactions, enabling faster time to value, reduced operational and compliance risk, and better-informed decisions

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 May 2026 – SNP SE, a leading provider of software for AI-enabled digital transformation, automated data migration, and data management in the SAP environment, has established a joint venture with Structify, a New York based AI-native Services-as- Software company that develops platform-based solutions for extracting, contextualizing, and processing enterprise data. The new entity, Oros Data LLC, is jointly owned by the partners and focuses on the development and application of AI-based solutions for processing large volumes of unstructured enterprise data.

    Together, SNP and Structify aim to bring AI-enabled data processing into the core of SAP transformation projects. According to industry analysts, unstructured data accounts for around 80% of enterprise information. This includes critical data such as contracts, sensitive HR records, IT-related documents, or customer complaints, which are often not readily accessible or processable. In the context of M&A transactions, insufficient handling of this data can create significant costs as well as operational and compliance risks for both buyers and sellers. In a first step, SNP integrates these capabilities into its Kyano platform particularly for M&A scenarios.

    “Improper processing of unstructured data greatly increases the risks in M&A and can erode as much as 10% of the deal value. Customers have chosen SNP over the last 30 years to accelerate and de-risk their most critical transactions. We are excited to deliver this new AI-enabled capability based on our decades of experience to further streamline and safeguard our customers’ M&A,” says Steele Arbeeny, CTO of SNP North America.

    “Unstructured data represents a significant share of the information required to run a business. Our goal is to make this data usable in M&A transactions while ensuring that sensitive information such as trade secrets and personal data is protected,” comments Structify CEO Alex Reichenbach. “This collaboration provides a framework to apply these capabilities in large-scale transformation projects.”

  • Vinpearl Partners With Three Leading Indian Travel Companies, Unlocking Access To A 1.47 Billion-Person Market

    Vinpearl Partners With Three Leading Indian Travel Companies, Unlocking Access To A 1.47 Billion-Person Market

    MUMBAI, INDIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 May 2026 – Vinpearl Joint Stock Company has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Thomas Cook India, SOTC Travel, and MakeMyTrip, three of India’s leading travel and tourism companies. The strategic partnerships are aimed at directly and comprehensively reaching all customer segments, helping position Vietnam as a “preferred destination” in the world’s most populous country.

    Caption

    The agreements were signed at the Vietnam–India Business Forum, held as part of the State visit of General Secretary and President To Lam to India, in the presence of General Secretary and President To Lam and Maharashtra Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis.

    The partnerships are expected to open direct access channels to all customer segments, stimulate travel demand and experiential tourism, and ultimately position Vietnam as a “preferred destination” for India’s 1.47 billion people.

    Representing India are three of the country’s most influential and trusted travel distribution channels: Thomas Cook India, SOTC Travel, and MakeMyTrip. Thomas Cook India has strong expertise in group travel, corporate travel, and large-scale MICE tourism. SOTC Travel is well known for family vacations, group tours, and mid- to high-end leisure travel. Meanwhile, MakeMyTrip, India’s leading online travel platform, has a strong advantage in reaching younger travelers, independent tourists, and digitally-driven booking behaviors.

    Representing Vietnam is Vinpearl, the country’s leading hospitality, tourism, and entertainment brand, operating nearly 60 properties nationwide. Its diverse five-star “all-in-one” ecosystem offers accommodation, shopping, dining, entertainment, golf, and MICE services, making it particularly well-suited to the travel preferences of Indian visitors, including large group travel, multi-generational family vacations, and experience-rich holidays.

    Through these partnerships, the parties aim to maximize each other’s strengths, enhance tourism development capabilities, and shape tailored travel products, gradually positioning Vietnam as a “preferred destination” for Indian travelers in the near future.

    Speaking at the event, Ms. Ngo Thi Huong, CEO of Vinpearl, said: “India is one of the key markets in Vinpearl’s international expansion strategy. Through partnerships with leading industry players, we are not only broadening our market reach but also proactively developing products tailored to each customer segment. Vinpearl aims to strengthen its presence in the Indian market while contributing to positioning Vietnam as an attractive and distinctive destination on the global tourism map.”

    Mr. Anubhav Bansal, Vice President of MakeMyTrip and representative of the three Indian partners, added: “Vinpearl operates one of the region’s leading integrated tourism and hospitality ecosystems, with a scale, product diversity, and destination experience portfolio that increasingly align with the preferences of Indian travelers. We believe Vinpearl is playing an important role in positioning Vietnam as an attractive destination for this market. Combined with the extensive distribution strengths of both sides, this partnership is expected to significantly boost Indian tourist arrivals to Vietnam in the coming years.”

    India is currently the world’s most populous country, with 1.47 billion people. The country’s rapidly expanding middle class is driving a strong surge in demand for international travel.

    Recognizing the strategic importance of the Indian market, Vinpearl has not only leveraged its scale and integrated “all-in-one” ecosystem but has also continuously developed specialized offerings for Indian travelers, including luxury wedding tourism, MICE travel, multi-generational family holidays, group trips, and couple getaways. In 2025, the number of Indian guests staying within the Vinpearl system surged by a record 402% year-on-year, followed by a further 335% increase during the first four months of this year compared to the same period last year.

    The signing of MoUs with these three major market access partners marks the next step in Vinpearl’s strategy to sustainably grow its visitor base from the 1.47 billion-population Indian market, while also helping position Vietnam as a “preferred destination” for Indian travelers.

  • Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs’ Mother’s Day Flagship 2026 Concludes Successfully

    Bringing Together Business Leaders and Paralympic Gold Medalist to Discuss the “Invisible Strength” of SEN Mothers and Full-Time Moms

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 May 2026 – Hong Kong registered charity Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs (HKM) successfully held its annual Mother’s Day flagship event yesterday. This year’s event, themed “The Invisible Strength: Nurturing Families, Building Futures” (堅毅雙翼：滋養家庭‧創建未來), brought together business leaders and a Paralympic gold medalist to recognise and celebrate the resilience of full-time mothers and mothers of children with special educational needs (SEN) – both within their families and in society at large.

    About Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs and the Moms4Moms Fellowship Program

    Since its establishment in 2018, Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs has been committed to encouraging mothers to rediscover their value through lifelong learning and an entrepreneurial mindset. Its flagship programme, the Moms4Moms Fellowship Program, aims to help mothers transform their “invisible labour” into socially recognised capabilities – combining entrepreneurial knowledge with practical skills, so that mothers can pursue their dreams while caring for their families.

    Lena Wong, Founder of HKM, said: “The potential of full-time mothers has long been overlooked, leading to a hidden waste of talent. Through our Fellowship, we hope to take the soft skills and life experiences cultivated through motherhood, combine them with practical entrepreneurial knowledge and skills, and channel them back into society – creating a positive impact across different communities and levels.”

    Annual Theme & Partner Support

    This year’s theme focused on a marginalised group of mothers – especially SEN mothers who face multiple challenges. The event was supported by The Payment Cards Group as its lead supporting partner.

    In her keynote address, Beatrice Tai, CEO of The Payment Cards Group, shared how the development of accessible payment technology can provide meaningful support to mom entrepreneurs:

    “Mobile payments enable mothers to work from home, run online stores, or participate in markets. The application process is relatively simple, funds flow back quickly, and it also provides data analytics reports – allowing merchants to understand sales figures, customer profiles, and payment habits, and thus make more precise marketing strategies.”

    Ms. Tai added: “AI and accessible payment technology are becoming a powerful ‘Invisible Strength’ for mom entrepreneurs – helping them close opportunity gaps and solve business pain points.”

    Star Panel: Cross-Sector Guests Share Heartfelt Experiences

    A highlight of the event was the themed panel discussion, where guests shared their insights on supporting mothers – from both personal and corporate perspectives:

    • Ho Yuenkei, BBS (Paris 2024 Paralympic Boccia Double Gold Medalist) – Shared a moving account of how her mother’s unconditional love, support, and acceptance shaped her childhood, enabling her to overcome obstacles and achieve greatness.
    • Olivia Wong (General Manager – Environmental & Social Responsibility, MTR Corporation) – Pointed out that flexible working hours offered by companies can effectively help mothers balance work with their children’s school schedules.
    • Lucia Ngan (Project Manager, Learning Bridge) – Shared how diverse daily activities can support SEN youth and their mothers in both learning and daily life.

    Professional Judging Witnesses 12 Mothers’ Business Pitches

    The event also hosted the Moms4Moms 2025/26 Graduation Ceremony. Twelve fellows from diverse backgrounds – including mothers of SEN children – delivered 60-second business pitches to a distinguished panel of judges. These graduates showcased the confidence they had regained through the programme, transforming their caregiving experiences into commercially viable plans. Their brilliance shone through.

    Judging Panel:

    • Danny Lap Lee – Managing Partner, VCA Capital Limited
    • Prudence Wat – Human Resources Director, Cyberport Asia
    • Lisa Lam – Deputy Executive Director, HandsOn Hong Kong

    Looking Ahead

    Looking to the future, Lena Wong shared that Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs will continue to explore more diverse forms of support, guided by the real needs of the community – helping mothers realise their own value while caring for their families, and growing together.

  • VinFast Deepens Its EV Push in the Middle East Through Technology and Smart Mobility

    As Gulf markets accelerate toward smart and sustainable mobility, VinFast is expanding its EV presence in the Middle East with technology-focused products, connected vehicle capabilities, and long-term ownership solutions.

    DUBAI, UAE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 May 2026 – The Middle East is increasingly emerging as one of the next major battlegrounds for global electric vehicle brands, particularly as younger consumers across Gulf countries show rising interest in smart, technology-focused mobility solutions that combine premium specifications with advanced software and digital experiences. That shift has opened the door for newer EV manufacturers to compete alongside more established automotive brands.

    The opportunity reflects larger market dynamics already transforming the region. Asian EV brands have rapidly expanded their footprint across Gulf countries in recent years, supported by growing demand for feature-rich vehicles, manufacturing scale advantages, and increasingly competitive pricing.

    Against that backdrop, VinFast is positioning itself as part of a broader transformation reshaping the automotive landscape across the region. As governments accelerate investments in renewable energy, charging infrastructure, and smart city development, the transition toward electric mobility is gaining momentum across the Gulf.

    For VinFast, the Middle East represents a strategic growth market within its wider international expansion plan. The company has been strengthening its presence with the VF 8 electric SUV, targeting consumers seeking a combination of advanced technology, premium features, and long-term ownership value.

    VinFast’s broader strategy aligns closely with those changing consumer expectations. Rather than operating solely as a conventional carmaker, the company is developing a vertically integrated EV ecosystem that combines intelligent software, connected services, and smart manufacturing capabilities.

    Globally, VinFast has delivered more than 400,000 vehicles and accumulated several years of real-world driving data. That foundation has supported the development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, connected vehicle technologies, and over-the-air software capabilities designed to continuously improve the ownership experience.

    In the Middle East market, the VF 8 is positioned around technology, comfort, and practicality for regional driving conditions. The all-electric SUV offers dual-motor all-wheel drive capability with up to 402 horsepower in the Plus variant and a driving range of up to 493 km on a full charge under the NEDC standard.

    Developed in collaboration with Italian design house Pininfarina, the VF 8 combines a modern exterior design with a spacious cabin focused on digital integration and passenger comfort. Available features include a 15.6-inch infotainment display, ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, an air ionization-equipped climate control system, and multiple ADAS technologies, including Highway Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection, and 360-degree Surround View Monitoring.

    VinFast is also emphasizing after-sales support and ownership assurance as key differentiators in the region. The company offers a 10-year vehicle warranty or 200,000 km, alongside a 10-year unlimited-kilometer battery warranty. Customers additionally receive access to mobile services, roadside assistance, DC fast charging networks, and over-the-air software updates.

    As Gulf markets continue embracing electrification and smart mobility concepts, VinFast is seeking to establish itself as a long-term player in the region’s evolving automotive sector. By combining advanced technology, connected vehicle capabilities, and scalable EV solutions, the company is reinforcing its ambition to compete in one of the world’s fastest-changing mobility markets.
