HANOI -- Top Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup opened a factory on Friday, beginning commercial production of Vietnam's first homegrown automotive brand, aiming eventually to build 500,000 vehicles a year.

This represents a bold move in a market that, while growing, remains small compared with some other economies in the region.
