VinFast sold 2,490 cars in Vietnam in June, less than the 3,050 units reported in May as the company prepares to cease production of fossil-fueled vehicles.

The Vietnamese automaker said Tuesday it had handed over to customers 1,338 Fadil cars, 359 Lux A2.0 sedans, and 11 Lux SA2.0 SUVs, together with 782 VF e34 electric models in June. The EV number is the monthly highest for the first half this year.

The auto unit of Vietnam’s largest conglomerate Vingroup said due to disrupted parts supply, the number of Lux A2.0 and Lux SA2.0 cars delivered to customers in June was less than expected.

Starting this July, VinFast stopped accepting orders for both models. Orders already placed would be processed by VinFast before the firm closes its gas-fueled production lines later this year.

VinFast said it sold 14,695 cars between January and June, comprising 9,566 Fadil, 1,749 Lux A2.0, 1,239 Lux SA2.0 SUV, and 2,141 VF e34 EV units.

As planned, the company will deliver to buyers in the domestic market its 2-row VF8 electric SUV and 3-row VF9 electric SUV by the end of this year.
