However, in our recent correspondence with a Vinfast Philippines’ marketing department representative, we received confirmation that Vinfast will finally introduce its line-up in the local

This is after the House Committee on Metro Manila Development recently proposed the exclusion of MOVE IT from the pilot study on MC taxi services, citing concerns regarding its connections with Grab Philippines.

After its initial introduction on September 2023, the Honda Motocompacto finally made its debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo.

However, there is another three-wheeler in the trans
