To put Thanh Cong Viet Hung Automobile Factory in Viet Hung Industrial Park, Ha Long City into operation from the end of 2024, Quang Ninh province requires relevant departments, branches and units to continue to support and coordinate with investors. The private company is Thanh Cong Group.
This factory, specializing in manufacturing and assembling Škoda brand cars - the largest car brand in the Czech Republic - is built on an area of 36.5 hectares, located in the Thanh Cong Automobile and Supporting Industry Thematic Complex. Viet Hung, has a total scale of 400 hectares, with a total capital of 8,679 billion VND in Viet Hung Industrial Park.
In September 2020, the Complex project was started with the ambition of turning this place into a place to attract and gather many businesses in the auto support industry, producing components and spare parts with high technology content.
The project produces and assembles cars with a capacity of 120,000 cars/year and will be the first place to assemble and produce cars under the Škoda Auto brand in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
The entire production and assembly line applies Škoda Auto's leading modern and advanced technologies, meeting European standards with a high level of automation.
According to the cooperation roadmap between the parties, the factory will launch the first two CKD car models, Kushaq and Slavia, to the market in 2025, opening up new opportunities for Škoda products from Vietnam exported to ASEAN.

This test phase is to evaluate the accuracy of the fixture system, which is very important in creating quality car bodies according to Skoda Auto's global standards.
Thanh Cong Viet Hung Automobile Factory is positioned as a nuclear project in the Thanh Cong Viet Hung Automobile and Supporting Industry Complex and is a symbol of the friendly cooperation between Vietnam and the Czech Republic.
