rnrnVietnamese automaker VinFast Indonesia Branch is building a local electric vehicle battery waste disposal system to complete Indonesia's localized electric mobility full industry chain ecosystem. However, at this stage, the company will not build its own battery recycling line, choosing instead to rely on two leading Chinese battery companies to handle used power batteries. The head of VinFast Indonesia's training department revealed that the brand will collaborate with two strategic partners, Gotion High-Tech and CATL, to handle the recycling of used batteries from its electric vehicles. Both Chinese battery manufacturers have already set up production plants in Indonesia, equipped with hardware and technical conditions for local disposal. All retired VinFast electric vehicle batteries will be handed over to these two companies for standardized disposal and recycling, with the entire process completed within Indonesia.rnrnThe company stated that it currently lacks the capability to independently carry out battery recycling, opting instead to choose mature industry partners. The core purpose is to ensure the used battery disposal process complies with Indonesian environmental regulations, relying on the partners' mature technology and professional qualifications to mitigate disposal risks. Although adopting an outsourcing cooperation model in the short term, VinFast has not abandoned its future plans for self-built recycling capacity. The brand plans to continuously learn from Gotion High-Tech and CATL's recycling processes and operational models, conduct thorough research and evaluation, and then decide whether to invest in its own battery recycling facilities, without rushing into an independent recycling project blindly.rnrnBattery recycling cooperation is a key part of VinFast's layout for a sustainable electric mobility ecosystem in Indonesia. Besides launching multiple electric vehicle models and continuously expanding sales and after-sales networks, the environmentally friendly disposal of power batteries throughout their lifecycle is an indispensable part of completing the industry chain.
