VinBus or VinBus LLC, formally the VinBus Ecology Transport Services LLC ( Vietnamese: Công ty TNHH Dịch vụ Vận tải Sinh thái VinBus), is a Vietnamese privately operated non-profit bus route network service established by Vingroup in 2019.
The VinBus subsidiary was announced by Vingroup on May 2, 2019, [1] with transit service starting in March 2020 and the deployment of 3,000 electric buses planned through the future. [2]
The VinBus-branded low-floor electric city bus is produced by VinFast, Vingroup's automotive subsidiary, at the company's Automobile Manufacture Complex located in Hai Phong. The bus is powered by a 281 kWh battery pack which gives the bus up to 260 km (160 mi) of range. Using the VinBus-designated 150 kWh DC fast-charging stations provided by StarCharge, the battery can be charged within ~2 hours. [3] [4] Batteries used by the VinBus fleet are provided by a joint venture between VinFast and LG Chem, while other components are supplied by Siemens. [2]
