COVID cited as reason behind engineering centre’s closure, but proving ground continues
The Vietnamese automotive start-up VinFast has blamed the COVID-19 pandemic for “temporarily” shutting its Australian engineering centre in Port Melbourne, potentially at the cost of hundreds of current and future jobs.
The company has confirmed in an official statement that the functions of the Australian centre, which only opened in December 2019, will be transferred back to Vietnam and local employees offered the chance to transfer there.
The statement also suggests other overseas development programs will be affected. Currently, VinFast also has a tech centre in California.
