Redefining tourism through mobility

Vietnam is steadily affirming its position as a leading tourism destination in the region. According to data from the General Statistics Office, international arrivals in November 2025 alone were estimated at 1.98 million, up 14% month-on-month and nearly 16% year-on-year. Over the first 11 months, the total reached 19.15 million visitors, a 21% increase compared to the same period in 2024, officially surpassing the record 18 million arrivals of 2019.

Contributing to this transformation is the continuous upgrade of transportation. Modern, clean, and well-equipped minibuses and city buses have increasingly become the first point of contact, creating a positive impression for visitors.

Meeting these expectations, 11 - 19 seat models such as Gazelle Next, Gazelle NN, and Sobol NN stand out thanks to interior headroom of up to 1.9 meters. This spacious design allows taller passengers to stand upright and move comfortably - an important competitive advantage for travel operators.

Notably, urban bus networks in cities such as Can Tho and Da Lat are being comprehensively upgraded, gradually becoming the preferred mode of transport for both residents and tourists. With low-floor designs and open interiors, modern models like Gazelle CITY and CITILINE are helping dispel outdated perceptions of public transport, delivering a more comfortable and civilized experience while contributing to a greener, more welcoming destination image.

Carrying goods across every route

Alongside the tourism rebound, year-end economic activity is gaining momentum thanks to uninterrupted trade flows. As consumer demand rises sharply, transport businesses face the challenge of optimizing profits on every single trip.

To handle the massive year-end cargo volumes, logistics companies are increasingly shifting toward vehicles with larger cargo capacities to maximize productivity. GAZ’s van and light truck lineup has become the choice of major operators such as Giao Hang Nang and J&T Express, thanks to its class-leading cargo volume: up to 13.5m³ for vans and up to 16m³ for light trucks. Carrying more goods per trip directly reduces the number of journeys required, delivering significant savings in fuel, labor, and operating time.

Beyond cargo efficiency, van models such as Gazelle NEXT, Gazelle NN, and Sobol NN also earn high marks for their durable chassis and galvanized body structures. These features ensure stable performance under intensive use while helping business owners control long-term operating costs.

For businesses, choosing a vehicle means finding a reliable partner for long-term operations. Understanding this need, GAZ introduces a Fixed-Cost Periodic Maintenance program as a transparent and optimized financial management solution for vehicle owners.

For example, on models equipped with Cummins engines, the Level 1 maintenance cost is fixed at VND 1.635 million (USD 62.17), consistently applied at mileage milestones of 10.000km, 30.000km, 50.000km… up to 150.000km. This allows owners to proactively plan their maintenance budgets, eliminate concerns over unexpected expenses, and confidently operate their vehicles with long-term stability.

The year 2025 concludes not only with record growth figures in tourism and the bustling flow of logistics, but also with renewed confidence in a new phase of economic momentum. Within this optimistic landscape, GAZ vehicles continue to roll steadily forward - serving as enduring “connectors” between supply and demand, between passenger experience and business credibility
