Você já ouviu falar de VinFast? Se não, é hora de atualizar o radar. A empresa vietnamita vem causando furor na indústria de veículos elétricos e recentemente recuperou o título de terceira montadora mais valiosa do mundo. Mas como ela conseguiu essa façanha

Who Would Have Thought That a Relatively New Company from Vietnam, in the Automotive Scene, Would Become the Third Most Valuable Automaker in the World? We Are Talking About VinFast, an Automaker That Has Been Making Waves, Especially When It Comes to Electric Vehicles.

VinFast is not just a storyteller; it is a manufacturer of narratives in the financial market. After its triumphant debut on Wall Street, the company saw its stock prices rise and plummet dramatically. Volatility is an aspect that has accompanied the company, but this has not prevented it from recently reaching a market value of $160 billion.

VinFast vs. Traditional Giants

It is not easy for a newcomer like VinFast to compete with giants like Tesla, GM, Ford, and other traditional automakers. However, its goals are ambitious: to conquer territories in the United States and European markets. This is made clear with the announcement of a $4 billion factory being built in the United States.

The Plan for Electric Vehicles

When it comes to electric vehicles, VinFast has even grander plans. The company expects to sell up to 50,000 electric vehicles this year, representing an almost sevenfold increase compared to 2022. Still, it is a company that needs to prove its worth; especially since its first batch of cars in the U.S. faced challenges such as delays and proposal reductions.

The Financial Bubble

The story of VinFast is so incredible that it raises the question: Are we facing a “bubble” in the financial market? Analysts point out that the small percentage of shares available to the public (only 0.3% on Nasdaq) could be inflating its true value. The founder, Pham Nhat Vuong, holds 99.7% of the shares, a fact that only heightens speculation.

The Financial Bubble

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

With 16,000 plastic bottles, two Indian friends transform waste, mud, and cow dung into an eco-friendly house that stays cool without air conditioning and challenges the conventional way of building.

Ancient bones with cut marks show that humans from 1.6 million years ago chose the best cuts of meat and transported everything to safer locations.

Xiaomi surprises users and releases unexpected update for already “retired” phones
