VinFast, Inform Software launch partnership for EV logistics solutions
Vietnamese electric vehicle maker VinFast and German-rooted Inform Software Corp. have embarked on a strategic global partnership on EV logistics management for VinFast.
The new partnership will help VinFast closely monitor the delivery status of the vehicles from production to delivery, optimizing the process and enabling quick and accurate decisions, Inform Software announced Wednesday.
Under the partnership, Inform will provide its advanced software solutions to VinFast, including Transport Management Software (TMS) and a vehicle Yard Management System (YMS), said the company, a unit of Germany-based Inform GmbH that specializes in artificial intelligence and optimization software.
In the first phase of this partnership, Inform’s software will be implemented in the U.S., Canada, and Vietnam, with Europe following. The entire Inform solution is projected to be in place across VinFast’s entire ecosystem within 18-24 months, Inform said.

VinFast is preparing to deliver its all-electric SUVs to the first customers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe this December. Meanwhile, the first customers in Vietnam started to use VinFast EVs last December, but the initial products are compact cars. The SUVs that the maker targets in the international markets (VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9) started to reach Vietnamese buyers this September.
