The latest facility, covering 23.2 hectares, is set to enter operation in 2025, with an annual capacity of two million units, quadruple that of the Quang Chau factory. The plant, utilizing robotic and automated production line technology, is set to employ 3,000 people.
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.
