VinFast Safety Training Program Covers UN Crash Standards

The VinFast safety training program was conducted at VinFast’s Testing Center in Hai Phong from September 7–11, 2026, bringing together the Vietnam Register, VinFast, and the Japan Automotive Standards International Center (JASIC). Announced on September 22, the five-day program focused on practical and regulatory training for vehicle safety assessment. Its agenda covered international requirements for crash testing, high-voltage electrical safety, and energy consumption assessment, giving participants exposure to several UN Regulations relevant to modern vehicle development, certification, and testing.

UN Crash Testing Regulations Covered

The training covered UN Regulations R94 and R95 for frontal and side crash testing, respectively. These requirements formed the crash-testing portion of the course and were supported by practical sessions conducted at VinFast’s facility. The program therefore combined instruction on regulatory requirements with hands-on testing activity. This structure allowed the participating organizations to address both the standards themselves and the practical procedures associated with vehicle crash assessment in a controlled testing environment, using the testing facilities and technical capabilities available at the Hai Phong center.

High-Voltage Safety and WLTP Assessment

High-voltage electrical safety was addressed through UN Regulation R100, while WLTP energy consumption assessment was covered under UN Regulation R154. These topics represent two areas directly relevant to vehicle certification and evaluation as automotive technologies evolve. Training on both regulations was provided by JASIC, giving participants focused instruction on the requirements and assessment areas covered by the course. The inclusion of these subjects expanded the program beyond conventional crash safety testing to include electrical safety and standardized energy consumption assessment.

Roles of Participating Organizations

VinFast supported the program by providing the testing facilities and technical assistance required for the sessions. The company also carried out the practical crash-testing activities, making its Testing Center in Hai Phong the operational setting for the hands-on portion of the course. The Vietnam Register participated alongside VinFast and JASIC, bringing the organizations together around a training program centered on regulatory knowledge and practical vehicle safety testing. JASIC contributed specialized instruction on UN R100 and UN R154 as part of the program’s technical curriculum.

Cross-Border Automotive Standards Training

The September 7–11 program connected regulatory training with practical testing across several safety and efficiency requirements. In addition to crash-test procedures under UN R94 and R95, participants received instruction on high-voltage safety under UN R100 and WLTP energy consumption assessment under UN R154. The cooperation among the Vietnam Register, VinFast, and JASIC also placed the activity within a broader cross-border training context involving organizations from Japan and Vietnam. The program combined regulatory expertise with direct exposure to testing procedures.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The program strengthens practical knowledge around vehicle safety and regulatory assessment by combining crash testing with training on high-voltage electrical safety and WLTP evaluation. Its cross-border participation also provides a structured setting for technical knowledge exchange between Vietnamese and Japanese organizations. For vehicle testing and certification activities, the combination of regulatory instruction and practical sessions can help participants apply the covered requirements in testing environments. The immediate next step is the continued application of the training knowledge within the participating organizations’ vehicle assessment and regulatory activities.
