A Vietnamese electric vehicle startup’s affiliated taxi service is accelerating its global ambitions, with plans to expand into the United States and European markets before its upcoming Hong Kong initial public offering. The move signals growing confidence in the company’s ability to scale beyond Southeast Asia, leveraging its electric vehicle ecosystem to strengthen its ride-hailing operations. Analysts suggest the international push could bolster investor interest ahead of the listing, while also testing demand for its technology-driven mobility solutions in competitive markets. The expansion follows a period of rapid growth in domestic markets, where the firm has positioned itself as a leader in sustainable urban transportation.
