DHL Supply Chain Philippines Accelerates Growth With VinFast Partnership

DHL Supply Chain, the global leader in contract logistics, has  officially established a strategic partnership with VinFast, a prominent manufacturer renowned for its  innovative electric vehicles, in the Philippines. VinFast is a key player in the automotive industry and a  proud member of VinGroup, one of Vietnam’s largest and most diversified conglomerates, which  includes sectors such as real estate, retail, and technology.

The contract signing ceremony, which took place on October 22, 2024, was attended by members of  senior management from both organizations. Bevan Williams, the Managing Director of DSC  Philippines, led a delegation that included members of the Senior Management Team and key  personnel from the Business Development and Operations departments. Cao Ngoc Nguyen Duy, the managing  director of VinFast Auto Philippines, graced the event along with VinFast’s top management team. 

“DHL Supply Chain Philippines is proud to support VinFast in scaling operations as it expands its reach  in the Philippines. Leveraging our expertise in spare parts management, we aim to create a robust  framework for the future of electric vehicle logistics in the Philippines. Through this logistics  partnership, with our Laguna facility as the backbone of this vision, we’re thrilled to support VinFast’s  journey in the Philippines,” said Williams.

Leveraging an impressive 50,000-square-meter logistics center in Laguna, designed as DHL Supply  Chain’s first built-to-suit facility in the Philippines, the partnership aims to enhance the efficiency of  VinFast’s supply chain operations in the Philippines. The state-of-the-art facility is equipped with  advanced technology and tailored infrastructure to manage and store spare parts efficiently.

With facilities strategically located in Metro Manila and the Southern regions to serve customers, DHL  Supply Chain Philippines offers supply chain optimization services which streamline the logistics  process for VinFast's after-sales market. This includes effective management of EV battery spare parts logistics.

The electric vehicle (EV) sector in the Philippines is experiencing rapid growth, supported by rising  investments and sustainability initiatives from both the public and private sectors. In 2022, the Philippine government passed the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA), a landmark  legislation designed to promote EV adoption nationwide through incentives, infrastructure  development, and investment in charging stations. The Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines  (EVAP) projects that by 2030, the number of EVs in the country could reach 6.6 million units, including  3.6 million electric motorcycles and 300,000 private electric cars—a development that promises to transform the nation’s transportation landscape.

Supported by the Santa Rosa Logistics Center, VinFast is striving to meet the country's rising demand  for electric vehicles while maintaining optimal inventory levels and swift distribution to support its  customers in the Philippines.
