In the context of a volatile global supply chain, choosing a BESS manufacturer is no longer based solely on the two traditional factors of quality and price. Factors “Place of manufacture” has emerged as a strategic competitive advantage. Choosing a “Made in Vietnam” partner can bring outstanding benefits in logistics, costs and project implementation speed.
This article analyzes the strategic advantages that a domestic manufacturer brings to energy projects in Vietnam.
1. Logistics Problem: Shipping Costs and Delivery Time
A 40ft BESS container is an oversized, overweight package. Transporting it across the oceans is not only costly but also risky.
- Reduce Shipping Costs: Choosing a domestic manufacturer completely eliminates expensive international shipping costs. Moreover, if the factory is located near major seaports (such as in Hai Phong), the cost of domestic transportation to the construction site is also significantly optimized.
- Shorten Lead Time: Shipping time from a factory in Asia or Europe to Vietnam can take anywhere from weeks to months. Local manufacturing significantly reduces this time, allowing projects to be deployed more quickly, operational and generating revenue sooner.
2. Understanding of Local Market and Laws
This is an invisible but extremely important advantage that foreign suppliers can hardly have.
- Understanding Fire Prevention and Fighting Regulations: The fire protection system for BESS is an extremely complex project and must strictly comply with Vietnam's fire protection standards. An experienced domestic manufacturer will understand these requirements and design a system that is easily approved, avoiding the situation where the project is "suspended" indefinitely due to legal issues.
- Understanding of Construction Standards: Understanding Vietnam's construction, structural and electrical standards helps the foundation design, construction and installation process go smoothly.
3. Fast Communication and Technical Support
The BESS project is a long-term technical cooperation process, not a one-off transaction.
- No Language & Time Zone Barriers: Technical exchanges, drawing approvals and problem solving happen quickly and directly, unhindered by time zone or language differences.
- On-site Support: In the event of a problem during installation or operation, the local manufacturer's technical team can be on site within hours, rather than days or weeks. This is a key factor in ensuring project progress.
- Easy Factory Audit: You and your engineering team can easily visit, inspect and audit the manufacturer's factory at any time, ensuring absolute transparency and trust in their processes.
4. Building a Sustainable Supply Chain
Choosing a “Made in Vietnam” partner not only benefits your project, but also contributes to building a sustainable clean energy ecosystem for the country. It promotes domestic supporting industries (steel, precision mechanics, automation) and enhances the technical capacity of the Vietnamese workforce, ready for the boom of the energy storage industry in the region.
Conclusion: While quality and technology must meet international standards, the presence of the manufacturer in Vietnam is a strategic advantage that cannot be ignored. It helps optimize costs, speed up progress, minimize legal risks and ensure the fastest technical support - all of which are key factors that determine the success or failure of a large-scale BESS investment project.
