VINFAST PILIPINAS: EMPOWERING FILIPINOS TO DESIGN THE NATION’S NEXT ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Breaking away from the traditional one-way norms of car design, VinFast Philippines is inviting Filipinos to take part in shaping the country’s next electric vehicle through its groundbreaking nationwide contest, “PiliPinas – Your Vote, Your Design for the Future Filipino Drive.” In this unique initiative, the fast-rising Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer gives every Filipino a voice in creating what could become the country’s first truly Filipino-inspired electric vehicle. For once, it’s not the engineers or the executives deciding—it’s the people.

Through the PiliPinas design and voting competition, VinFast redefines customer engagement by turning car design into a two-way collaboration. Instead of simply offering pre-designed options, the company is empowering Filipinos to either vote for their preferred concept or submit their own design ideas. Participants can visit www.vinfastpili-pinas.com to explore fifty futuristic design concepts from VinFast’s lineup, including the VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9 models. Each entry showcases innovative craftsmanship and modern aesthetics. Voters can cast their choices online or through traditional paper ballots available in VinFast showrooms, service centers, malls, and select coffee shops across the country, ensuring everyone can easily participate.

To make participation even more exciting, VinFast is offering over ₱5 million worth of prizes, making it one of the country’s biggest and most inclusive public voting campaigns. Participants who accurately predict the top-ranked designs will win Grand Prizes of ₱150,000 each, while Main Prizes worth ₱40,000 to ₱80,000 await those who vote for the most popular concept per model. To keep the spirit of fun alive, Raffle Prizes worth ₱10,000 will be drawn randomly from all eligible participants, and Special Prizes of ₱15,000 will be awarded to those who submit their own creative vehicle designs. In total, 318 prizes are up for grabs, giving everyone a fair chance to win and be recognized.

Beyond the excitement of the contest, VinFast’s “PiliPinas” campaign represents a genuine shift in how a global brand connects with its community. It transforms the traditional top-down car design process into a people-powered collaboration that celebrates creativity, national pride, and shared ownership. The resulting “National VinFast EV” will not only symbolize innovation but also embody Filipino identity—crafted by the very people who will drive it.

This initiative is part of VinFast’s “For a Green Future” regional vision, which champions sustainable and intelligent transportation across Southeast Asia. By inviting Filipinos to co-create the future of mobility, VinFast is ensuring that the Philippines is not just part of the green transition—but a driving force of inspiration behind it. Visit www.vinfastpili-pinas.com before November 7 to cast your vote, submit your design, and take part in shaping the nation’s first people-powered electric vehicle.
