HANOI, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam imported 56,012 completely built-up (CBU) vehicles in the first three months of 2026, up nearly 21 percent from the same time last year, local media VnExpress reported Tuesday, citing the Department of Vietnam Customs.
Among the top three suppliers, China recorded the fastest growth, with shipments surging 73.3 percent year on year to 17,168 units, while Indonesia remained the largest with 23,402 vehicles, up 27.5 percent, and Thailand saw shipments fall 18.7 percent to 13,077 units, the report said.
For years, trucks imported from China have dominated imports, while more Chinese automakers have expanded into passenger cars with electric and hybrid models, contributing to Vietnam's rising vehicle imports, the report added.
The total value of vehicles imports in the three-month period reached about 1.33 billion U.S. dollars. ■
