Industry Overview

Vietnam's automotive diesel engine industry is closely tied to the development of its automotive industry, with diesel power systems dominating commercial vehicles, construction machinery, and agricultural equipment. Vietnam's economic growth, infrastructure development, and rising demand for logistics and transportation are driving increased demand for diesel engines.

Vietnam lacks a large-scale diesel engine production system, and local companies are mainly concentrated in the fields of diesel engine assembly, parts manufacturing and after-market maintenance.

Vietnam's diesel engine demand mainly comes from commercial transport vehicles, engineering and construction machinery, agricultural and rural machinery and other fields.

Vietnam's automotive diesel engine industry is currently undergoing a phase of simultaneous technology introduction and market expansion. Local manufacturing capacity is limited, but demand is stable and growth potential is clear.

With the continued growth of infrastructure investment and the transportation industry, diesel engines are expected to remain an important power source for Vietnam's transportation and engineering equipment in the next 10 years.

Overview of Foreign Investment

Investment Background

Vietnam's manufacturing and transportation logistics sectors have expanded rapidly over the past few years, significantly increasing demand for high-performance diesel engines and engine parts in vehicle and machine manufacturing. Meanwhile, Vietnam's low domestic production rate for complete engines and high-end parts has led to a significant reliance on imports for complete engines and core components. This has created opportunities for foreign investment in engine assembly and parts manufacturing.

Investment Advantages

• Political stability and rapid economic development. The Vietnamese government has strong governing capabilities, consistent policies, and a focus on economic development and improving people's livelihoods.
• Relatively low labor costs.
• Strategically located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, with a 3,260-kilometer coastline and numerous ports, transportation is convenient.
• Relatively relaxed policies and regulations provide foreign investors with comprehensive legal protections and generous preferential policies.
• Vietnam has a high level of openness to the outside world, with 19 free trade agreements signed or in progress. Investors can use platforms such as RCEP and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area to explore a broader international market.

Investment Regulations

According to Vietnam's new investment law, foreign investment in the automotive diesel engine industry is permitted. According to Vietnam's investment regulations, foreign investment can be conducted in direct and indirect forms, such as wholly foreign-owned enterprises, joint ventures, investment and financing, and mergers and acquisitions.

Import Market Overview

The demand for automotive diesel engine in Vietnam is growing, but local production capacity is limited and the country is highly dependent on imports. According to the analyst, Vietnam's automotive industry has maintained steady growth in recent years, particularly in the commercial vehicle, construction machinery, and transport vehicle sectors, with demand for diesel engines continuing to grow. However, due to limited local production capacity, Vietnam relies heavily on imported diesel engines. At the same time, Vietnam has many international automobile brand manufacturers and is also somewhat dependent on imports of diesel engines.

Vietnam's automotive diesel engine imports continue to increase, with imports growing rapidly. According to the analyst statistics, in 2024, a total of about 62 importers in Vietnam imported automotive diesel engines, totaling US$350 million. According to the analyst analysis, Vietnam's cumulative import value of automotive diesel engines reached US$241 million from January to August 2025, an increase of over 60% compared to the same period in

• China, South Korea, Japan, and India were the top four import sources for Vietnam's automotive diesel engines, accounting for approximately 41%, 31%, 16%, and 9% of Vietnam's total import value, respectively. The analyst predicts that Vietnam's automotive diesel engine imports will continue to grow in the coming years, driven by the rapid development of its domestic automotive manufacturing industry.
