After launching the all-electric VF MPV 7 in India, Vinfast is now gearing up to bring in the fleet-only Limo Green, which has been spotted on our roads. Vinfast had confirmed the EV at the VF MPV 7’s launch, but an exact launch timeline is unclear right now. Limo Green is going to be an important model for the carmaker as it plans to enter the commercial vehicle segment.
Vinfast Limo Green details
The Limo Green shares its platform with the VF MPV 7, and it may use the same 60.13kWh battery pack. While the VF MPV 7 has an ARAI-rated range of 517km, Vinfast India CEO Tapan Kumar Ghosh told us earlier that the Limo Green will have a separate ARAI certification for fleet use. This is because, as he put it, “There are certain government regulations that have to be met when selling for fleet.”
The front-mounted electric motor may also be carried over, though its output for the electric taxi is still unknown; in the VF MPV 7, it makes 204hp and 280Nm. A three-row, seven-seat layout is also likely.
Less features than VF MPV 7, different badges
Ghosh also said the Limo Green will get different badges and logos from the VF MPV 7. Its features will be pared back as well. For example, while the VF MPV 7 gets a two-tone cabin, the fleet version will use a simpler all-black interior. Going by our spy shot, it could get steel wheels with covers instead of alloy wheels and wear the brand’s signature cyan paint, which is reserved for its fleet models.
