Within the framework of the MOU, Bosch and Vingroup will consider comprehensively cooperating in the field of manufacturing cars and e-scooters, including providing hardware and software solutions, and services for Vinfast, a new member of Vingroup which has been known as a leading property developer in the country.
Regarding hardware, Bosch will provide Vinfast with components and equipment in conformity with the production process. Bosch also supports and gives advice to Vinfast to develop and apply software for automotive and solutions for the operation and management of its factory, such as design and user experience services and customer solution development.
Both sides will jointly research and put into application technological solutions for Vinfast cars, aiming to introduce car models with modern features and bringing an outstanding experience to users. Moreover, Bosch will provide smart campus solutions for the Vinfast plant, including smart security and safety, connected mobility, smart operation, energy management, connected industry consultancy and deployment.
Bosch will also give Vinfast advice on establishing a vocational training center. Bosch is the suitable partner for this activity because of its experience of investing in the Bosch Technical Industrial Apprenticeship training center, aiming to develop a high-skilled local technical workforce in Dong Nai Province.
Vinfast plans to establish a mechatronics vocational training center based on German standards to build up its own qualified technicians to operate modern production lines and gradually receive technology transfer from foreign partners.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Guru Mallikarjuna, managing director of Bosch Vietnam, said: “The MOU signing ceremony is a critical milestone in the cooperation between Bosch and Vingroup. With our expertise in technology for automotive, including software, hardware solutions and services, Bosch is committed to support Vingroup in implementing this project successfully.”
Vingroup CEO Duong Thi Mai Hoa, meanwhile, asserted the cooperation with Bosch and other world leading technology partners is “a part of our strategy to proactively attract and apply the most modern technologies in Vinfast car and e-scooter projects.”
Joining the automotive manufacturing sector on September 2, Vinfast has conducted strategic steps. Within 40 days, it has organized the ground-breaking ceremony, recruited high profile international management, and introduced a collection of 20 concept cars from the four well-known design studios.
