Yadea’s expansion in Vietnam follows the country's commitment to a net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050 and a goal of all road traffic being electric-powered.
Bac Giang attracted foreign direct investment of $3.02 billion in 2023, up 148.3% year-on-year, according to the Ministry of Planning and Investment. So far, China has been the biggest investor with $5.14 billion in 227 projects, followed by South Korea with $2.1 billion in 300 projects, according to provincial data.
