Recently, VinFast Indonesia, a subsidiary of Vietnamese automaker VinFast, announced in Jakarta that it has formally established cooperation with CATL and Gotion High-Tech. The two Chinese battery companies will be fully responsible for the disposal and recycling of used electric vehicle batteries in the Indonesian market, further completing the green industry chain for local electric mobility. In the short term, VinFast will rely on its partners' mature recycling capacities for operations. In the long term, VinFast plans to continue conducting research on battery lifecycle technologies and gradually build its own battery recycling and processing capabilities once its technological reserves are sufficiently mature.
