VinFast launches VF 6 B-SUV and introduces free EV charging program in the Philippines


PASAY, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 April 2025 – At the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), VinFast officially launched sales of the VF 6, a fully electric SUV in the popular B-segment, introduced a free charging program available at charging stations operated by V-GREEN, and forged strategic partnerships with reputable Philippine dealerships and banks. These initiatives highlight VinFast’s commitment to accelerating the adoption of green mobility in the country.

Along with the launch of the VF 6, VinFast is offering free charging at its dedicated charging stations until May 1, 2027.
Along with the launch of the VF 6, VinFast is offering free charging at its dedicated charging stations until May 1, 2027.

In the Philippines, the VF 6 is available in two trims: Eco and Plus, with MSRPs of 1,419,000 PHP and 1,610,000 PHP respectively. Deliveries of the VF 6 Eco are expected to begin in May 2025.

To further support consumers in confidently embracing a green lifestyle, VinFast is also introducing an attractive buyback program, offering up to 90% of the vehicle’s original value. This policy applies across the company’s entire product lineup. The company’s growing network of showrooms—strategically located across key urban areas—enhances access to electric vehicles.

Developed in collaboration with the renowned studio Torino Design, the VF 6 features a modern design inspired by the concept of “The Duality in Nature.” This unique style reflects the vehicle’s own spirit and personality, while seamlessly blending with VinFast’s distinctive and unmistakable design language. Its overall dimensions (length x width x height) are 4,241 x 1,834 x 1,580 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,730 mm. Thanks to the advantages of EV architecture, this B-segment vehicle offers an interior space comparable to many C-segment gasoline models.

The VF 6 is equipped with a powerful electric motor delivering up to 150 kW and torque of 250 Nm (Eco) or 310 Nm (Plus). With a range of up to 480 km per full charge (NEDC standard), the VF 6 is well suited for the dynamic needs of modern families. It also includes 20 advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) features and 8 airbags, offering added peace of mind—especially for families with young children.

In terms of aftersales service, the VF 6 comes with one of the most competitive warranties in its class: 7 years or 160,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. In addition to services at VinFast showrooms, the company is collaborating with trusted partners such as Motech and JIGA to develop a nationwide network of 100 authorized service centers by the end of 2025.

The Philippines now hosts nearly the full lineup of VinFast electric vehicles, with the VF 6 joining the VF 3, VF 5, VF 7, and VF 9. Visitors can explore and test drive these models, including the VF 6, at MIAS 2025—one of the country’s premier auto shows. This year marks the event’s 20th anniversary, featuring over 120 brands and more than 30 automotive manufacturers.

Along with the VF 6 launch, VinFast is rolling out a free charging program at its dedicated charging station network, valid until May 1, 2027, providing “zero fuel cost” benefits to customers. Operated by the Global Charging Station Development Company V-GREEN, the network aims to deploy 15,000 charging ports across the country in 2025.

On this occasion, VinFast also announced the signing of memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with two banks—EastWest Bank and BDO—to support the Philippines’ green transition and sustainable growth. These partnerships will focus on developing and offering financial solutions that support VinFast’s green ecosystem, while making it easier for Filipinos to switch to electric mobility.

Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia, said: “We’re thrilled to launch the VF 6 at one of the Philippines’ most prestigious auto shows and contribute to the strong momentum behind green mobility. With its smart, comfortable, and cost-efficient performance, this model is poised to become an essential part of the modern family’s sustainable lifestyle. We hope it will replicate its segment-leading success in Vietnam and receive the same enthusiastic response as seen in the European market.”

Nguyen Thanh Duong, CEO of V-GREEN, added: “We are proud to partner with VinFast in building a comprehensive and convenient EV ecosystem. Expanding the charging network not only supports customer confidence in choosing VinFast EVs but also strengthens public awareness of electric mobility infrastructure in the Philippines. Together with VinFast and our local partners, we’re working toward a greener and more sustainable transportation future for Filipino communities.”

By continuously expanding its product lineup and developing a comprehensive EV ecosystem—including charging infrastructure, showrooms, and service centers—VinFast reaffirms its long-term commitment to supporting the Philippines in its green transition. The company aims to contribute to the country’s sustainable future through the “For a Green Future” model already proven successful in Vietnam, delivering a seamless experience to local consumers.

Longevity and precision medicine driving the agenda at Abu Dhabi Global Health Week

  • Global initiative addressing personalised and preventative health to be launched during the event

ABU DHABI, UAE, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With rising global demand for more personalised and effective healthcare solutions, the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) , the regulator of the healthcare sector in the emirate, is hosting global leaders in health, research, policy, and technology to address the challenge of helping people to live not just longer, but healthier lives.

Longevity and precision medicine driving the agenda at Abu Dhabi Global Health Week

During the upcoming Abu Dhabi Global Health Week (ADGHW), a global initiative aimed at advancing longevity science and precision medicine will be released, expected to set a new standard for international collaboration, innovation, and investment in next-gen medical technologies.

The initiative is designed to drive the widespread adoption of personalised healthcare approaches and promote research into extending healthy lifespans. This call to action comes at a pivotal moment, as global life expectancy has more than doubled to 71 years, yet the gap between healthspan and lifespan has widened to 9.6 years, meaning many people spend nearly a decade of their lives in poor health as a result of chronic diseases.

Speaking ahead of the event, H.E. Mansoor Ibrahim Al Mansoori, Chairman of DoH stated “We are delivering personalised and preventive health solutions that empower people to live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Because health knows no boundaries, we are inviting the world to co-create the next era of health, underpinned by collaboration, driven by data and transformative technology such as AI. From Abu Dhabi to the world, we are building an intelligent, integrated health system that scales globally and serves locally.”

With world-class research institutions, strategic investments, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven medical advancements, Abu Dhabi is transforming the healthcare industry by advancing research, enabling strategic global partnerships, and ensuring equitable access to healthy life-extending medical innovations.  The emirate’s focus on AI-powered medical research is enhancing disease prediction and precision therapeutics, further solidifying its position as a leader in healthcare innovation.

This global leadership is built on a foundation of concrete action. Abu Dhabi’s commitment to healthy longevity is already translating into impact. The emirate recently licensed the Institute for Healthier Living Abu Dhabi (IHLAD) as the world’s first Healthy Longevity Medicine Centre, offering AI-enabled, personalised care to extend healthy lifespan, manage chronic diseases, and support mental well-being and lifestyle transformation. This was followed by the launch of the Healthy Longevity Innovation Forum and the introduction of the region’s first regulatory framework for longevity-focused medical centres—setting a new benchmark for healthcare governance. Together with initiatives like the Healthy Longevity Symposium hosted by the Khalifa University and a growing network of global research partnerships, these efforts firmly position Abu Dhabi at the forefront of reimagining how societies approach aging, prevention, and extended health spans. The initiative, developed with and for the world, will create a roadmap that advances AI-powered diagnostics, genomics-based healthcare, and personalised treatment strategies, ensuring more people can benefit from extended healthy lifespans.

Key highlights to expect:

  1. Launch of a global consensus document on longevity and precision medicine
  2. Commitments from international stakeholders to advance AI-driven healthcare solutions
  3. Frameworks for integrating genomics-based approaches into mainstream medical practice
  4. Policy recommendations and regulatory pathways to facilitate longevity innovation
  5. Global strategies for ethical, equitable, and responsible medical advancements

The initiative will be a highlight of ADGHW, scheduled to take place from 15 – 17 April 2025. The three-day event provides a platform to exchange insights, address critical healthcare challenges, and build partnerships that drive meaningful progress in global health and well-being. The event is expected to attract more than 200 speakers, 15,000 visitors, 1,900 delegates and 150 exhibitors from 90 countries.

Further details regarding the initiative will be announced at ADGHW. 

ADGHW is a major government initiative from DoH and serves as a platform for innovation and collaboration under the theme ‘Towards Longevity: Redefining Health and Well-being.’ It places a strong emphasis on community-driven health and well-being, with a proactive approach centred around preventive, personalised, and holistic care.

Four core themes will guide discussions and initiatives: Longevity and Precision Health; Health System Resilience & Sustainability; Digital Health & AI; and Investment in Life Sciences. By convening diverse stakeholders from around the world, ADGHW is a community without borders that seeks to advance the future of health and well-being.
