HANGZHOU, China, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Geely Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle has officially launched its first overseas KD factory in Indonesia, commencing large-scale local operations in Southeast Asia and marking a key milestone in its global localization strategy. The factory's inauguration saw the successful roll-off of its first locally assembled V8E. The launch of the KD factory and local V8E production strengthens Farizon's local manufacturing capabilities, laying a solid foundation for its long-term development and market expansion across Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Mike Fan, CEO of Geely Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group, Cook Xue, General Manager of Farizon Auto International, Hartono Sohor, Chairman of Arista Group, and Denny Siregar, President Director of Handal Indonesia Motor, attended the offline ceremony. They joined local partners and industry guests to witness this important moment.
Located about 80 kilometers southeast of Jakarta, the Farizon Indonesian KD factory enjoys convenient transportation and complete industrial supporting facilities. At present, the plant is capable of local assembly of the Farizon V8E. It will continue to upgrade production lines and enrich its localized product lineup in the future.
The newly launched V8E has completed targeted localized calibration and upgrades to adapt to Indonesia's urban road conditions, logistics scenarios and local climate. Fitted with an 8.5m3 large cargo box and featuring a pure electric range of over 400 kilometers, the model balances strong loading capacity, reliable endurance and flexible driving performance. It is widely applicable to urban end-point delivery, urban-rural commodity transportation and intra-city logistics. The V8E provides efficient, low-carbon and cost-effective new energy commercial vehicle solutions for the Indonesian market.

PHU QUOC, Vietnam, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has supplied 3MWp Vertex N 725W (NEG21C.20) solar PV with 10MWh Trina Storage Elementa 2 battery energy storage system (BESS) for Corona Resort, a solar-plus-storage project in Phu Quoc, Vietnam.
The project is developed by Nam Viet Green Energy JSC, one of Vietnam's leading renewable energy companies, specializing in the development, investment, design, engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of renewable energy systems. The project is expected to be connected to the grid and begin commercial operations in mid-September.
As one of Vietnam's largest integrated resort destinations, Corona Resort faces growing electricity demand driven by tourism operations. The project initially had 5.5 MWp of modules installed, with the 3MWp n-type i-TOPCon Vertex N modules and 10MWh AC-coupled Trina Storage Elementa 2 added later, showing how existing solar assets can be expanded with BESS to strengthen local power supply resilience. By combining daytime solar generation with greater energy flexibility provided by energy storage, commercial and industrial users can improve energy cost management and create additional commercial value. The integrated PV+BESS system enables greater utilization of onsite solar generation, reduces peak electricity demand, enhances energy resilience, and improves overall operating efficiency.
The project reflects a larger trend of solar-plus-storage deployment in Vietnam. Vietnam aims to develop 10,000–16,300 MW of BESS capacity by 2030, reflecting the growing role of BESS in integrating solar and wind power, improving dispatchability and strengthening energy security.
"This project demonstrates how advanced PV and BESS technologies can be successfully integrated into large-scale commercial facilities in Vietnam" a representative from Nam Viet said. "Trinasolar went beyond its role as a technology supplier, drawing on its expertise across PV and energy storage to advise on the BESS configuration and operating approach. This helped us develop a solution aligned with the project's technical and commercial requirements."
"Enhancing existing solar assets with energy storage is one of the emerging pathways in Vietnam's renewable energy market," said Elva Wang, Group Director of Southeast, South and Central Asia, Trinasolar Asia Pacific. "These projects can present challenges from early-stage system planning to integration and delivery, making close collaboration between technology providers, EPCs and customers essential. By bringing PV and BESS together through bankable products, system-level understanding and regional execution experience, Trinasolar is helping partners in Vietnam develop PV+BESS projects for both generation and flexibility."
