VinFast, the little-known Vietnamese start-up car company that bought the iconic Holden test track and hired dozens of its former employees, is reportedly about to
close one of its Australian operations – barely a year after being established locally.
Unsubstantiated reports from industry insiders claim VinFast is about to close its
Port Melbourne design and engineering centre, which was staffed primarily by former Holden, Ford and Toyota workers who lost their jobs after the end of local car manufacturing.
The closure of the VinFast Port Melbourne design and engineering office would impact approximately 50 jobs, say industry insiders.
CarAdvice understands the jobs of approximately 60 engineers employed and based at the former Holden proving ground and test track – near Lang Lang in the south-eastern outskirts of Melbourne – are safe for now.
