Aiming to bring out a Smart, sustainable Vietnamese premium motor home product, which we believe is unprecedented, we have studied, researched and carried out surveys to specify our customers' insight 1.1 Insight: - Consumer truth: + Instead of renting to stay in beautiful multi-star hotels and luxury resorts, many people now prefer trips close to nature, living nomadic life right in their car with the concept "home is where you turn off your activity." car engine" Motor homes are so familiar in many countries around the world, but in Vietnam, the trend of using a "mobile home" on four wheels has just begun to emerge in recent years + In the auto shows over the years, a number of car manufacturers have quickly introduced home motor vehicles that provide all the essential amenities for a small family's life + The Covid 19 epidemic today is no longer so scary as before However, many people when traveling still not like to interact with too many strangers and unknown people The barrier of the epidemic has made them just want to have their own space to rest and create distance from people around And Motorhome is really a great choice for them + The belief that using sustainable cars contributes to saving our planet - Purpose of product: + Supports group recreation activities by providing a comfortable space, even for long-distance travel in one high-standard and eco-friendly design This model is designed to serve family trips or fulfill nomadic dreams This car model is like a mobile home, which can both be used to move, live and work - Product: Motorhome - Recreational vehicle - Product feature: There are two types of RV Nothing has changed in terms of engines and machines, mainly only in interior: + RV Class A is the largest and most expensive class, measuring between and 14 meters in length, about the same size as a large bus The car has the full functional space of a normal house, such as living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom The car has a compact and modern electricity and water system Class A RVs can expand living space by opening the side roof or sliding some parts of the car to the outside with a hydraulic system, suitable for families of to people + RV Class B is from to nearly 8m long Vehicles usually not have a division between the cabin and the living area and can be partially extended or installed with tarps to cover the owner's outdoor activities The car is equipped with a kitchen, a bathroom, and a compact bed The driver's seat and the side seat can be reversed to form a seat for a desk or dining table With a smaller size, RV Class B is suitable for families of or less 1.2 Product packaging design - Packaging material ● Topside: Photovoltaic cells (PV cells) to convert sunlight into electricity When sunlight (photons) strike PV cells, they excite electrons and allow them to flow, creating an electric current PV cells are made of semiconductor materials such as silicon and alloys of indium, gallium and nitrogen Crystalline silicon is the most common material used and has an efficiency rate of 15-25% - Logo PRICE - Price is really important when we start launching a service or selling a product Actually setting price not only impacts on the brand’s total revenue, profit but also affects consumer perceptions and brand’s ability to survive Many studies show that when there are few cues by which to judge the quality of a product or service, consumers sometimes use price as an evaluation criteria - Vinfast is the same with any other car company; in order to attract more customers and promote Vinfast brand, Vinfast also need to define their own price strategy - Beside suggesting a new product line, we also suggest the price based on some elements such as market price, customer’s need, segmentation of product, and so on 2.1 Price suggestion: - Although Vinfast has just been launched in our country recently and still is a newbie in the world’s automobile manufacturing industry, it has an incredible growth rate in the domestic market, and is planning to move further into the global market Since Motorhome is a new product line, it is advisable to apply a market penetration pricing strategy in order to expand the market not only in the domestic market but also in the international market - The suggested price for a Vinfast motorhome, which is a kind of Recreational vehicle - RV, ranges from about billion to less than 1.6 billion VND, depending on the class A or B and interior equipment + With the aim of focusing on customers with average and aboveaverage income, our suggested price is quite reasonable with the criterion of bringing customers good quality products at the lowest price This means that the price is not too high and not too cheap for people to buy it + To be more specific: Detailed price list Product characteristics Price Class A ~ 1.300.000.000 - Cơ hội thâm nhập thị trường quốc tế + While our country's economy is developing at a fairly fast rate, people's income is also increasing day by day Since then, in addition to the basic needs such as food and clothing, the demand for tourism and entertainment also rises Especially in the current post-covid situation, the demand for long travel to relieve stress is increasing after being isolated at home for a really long time Moreover, using transport like our motorhome can reduce the risk of being infected with covid 19 - Market price and customer segmentation ● Customer segment: + The customer segment that the product wants to target is young people and households with average and above-average income who have frequent needs to travel, especially long-term travel lasting days ● Market price: + The market price for a fully-equipped motorhome like a regular home usually ranges from $100,000 (~250,000) or more (this price is for motorhomes manufactured by companies, not counting a self-made car into a motorhome) + Here are some examples for several kinds of motorhome: Thor Motor Coach Compass 24LP $114,975 Class B Motorhome 2019 Jayco Embark 37MB Class A $295,200+ Motorhome Forest River Inc Berkshire XLT $280,041+ Diesel 45A Class A Motorhome Thor Motor Coach Hurricane 35M $144,675 Class A Motorhome Thor Motor Coach Tuscany 45AT $429,660 Class A Diesel Motorhome + In the Vietnamese market, the price of a motorhome is about 300-500 million VND In addition, besides paying the car purchase fee, car owners also have to pay many other additional fees such as import fees from abroad, vehicle maintenance fees, etc Though people can completely make their own motorhome with full amenities, making such a homemade one does not guarantee safety and is not recognized by law ⇔ It can be seen that, with a suggested price of 300-500 million VND for a Vinfast motorhome with full interior equipments like a house, customers not have to pay additional fees such as import tax, this is a fairly reasonable price compared to other motorhome brands in the same segment Especially, this price is much cheaper than importing motorhomes from abroad, saving the budget for those who are passionate about traveling PLACE 3.1 The distribution model of VinFast - VinFast Auto Dealer system includes more than 200 showrooms spread across the country In which, the Dealer model is applied at VinFast Dealers in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City: ● 1S (sales agency): minimum ground area of 280m2, minimum frontage of 14m ● 2S (service and spare parts agency): total area of 1,800m2, minimum frontage of 25m ● 3S (sales and service provider, spare parts agency): total area from 2,000m2 or more, minimum frontage of 35m -

VinFast founded a Zero-Level Channel for its distribution system In particular, the length of the distribution channel is when VinFast does not go through any intermediaries but only uses the distribution system of the company's main agents to provide products VinFast —> Customers + This direct distribution channel helps VinFast save significantly on intermediary costs and is easy to approach and receive direct feedback from customers + Currently, the company owns more than 200 official showrooms in the Vietnam market and an electronic retail system through the company's websites > This is an advantage for the Campervan distribution because we can take advantage of this system First, Motorhome will be launched in major cities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Min City, and famous tourist destinations such as Quang Ninh, Da Nang along with other models After receiving customer feedback, the car will be distributed to agents nationwide b) One-Level Channel - VinFast also founded a One-Level Channel for its distribution system The length of the distribution channel is when VinFast only goes through one intermediary level which is a retailer (showrooms and distribution systems of partners that VinFast has acquired or franchised) to supply products VinFast —> Retailers —> Consumers ● Contractual Vertical Marketing System (Contractual VMS) - The dealer system of two brands Chevrolet - VinFast and the retailer chain Savico are the tools for VinFast to promote the Campervan model + On March 15, 2019, VinFast officially announced its takeover of the Chevrolet dealer system under General Motors in Vietnam VinFast does not monopolize o-brand VinFast - Chevrolet dealer system, with more than 20 aits business, but upgrades facilities and transforms the model into a twgents spread across the country ⇔ Campervan can access the consumer market of the Chevrolet brand, thereby saving time and costs in promoting + In 2019, VinFast also cooperated with one of the biggest retail units in VN, Savico which is a distributor of many big brands such as Honda, Hyundai, Toyota and Ford in the Vietnam market ⇔ Campervan cars will have the opportunity to appear at Savico dealers and be promoted to customers of other brands ● Horizontal marketing system (HMS) - In addition to the system of authorized dealers and distributors, Campervan cars can also be displayed at Vincom with high recognition With strong support from Vingroup, VinFast also owns many showrooms located at Vincom commercial centers nationwide The association between businesses in the same group helps VinFast take advantage of Vincom's huge customer base when displaying the Campervan model here, helping the company expand the market to more customers - In One-Level Channel, Campervan will be launched in some showrooms in major cities, and other famous tourist destinations as it is in Zero-Level Channel PROMOTION - The ideal period to advertise new products: Product promotion programs will start in May -

Provoking the feeling of "National pride" + In the context of globalization across all spheres, no matter where they were, but where the brand is, where is the "soul" of the car that the customer would by default remember?
