Vietnam’s first full-fledged carmaker VinFast has shipped its cars to European and Asian countries for quality testing.

VinFast, a unit of Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate Vingroup, on Wednesday shipped the first of a batch of 155 cars to 14 countries including Austria, Australia and South Korea for testing against standards in those countries.

After the cars are tested, VinFast will deliver the vehicles to Vietnamese customers who have pre-ordered them.The company will also test its cars in Vietnam for endurance in various climates and conditions.

VinFast had earlier this month rolled out the first made-in-Vietnam car in its factory in the northern port city of Hai Phong.

The company had showed off prototypes of its first two car models at the Paris Motor Show in France last October, just a year after its incorporation.
