Engineered to withstand the demanding local road profiles, tropical climates, and dynamic driving conditions across Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and critical shipping corridors.
The vehicle assembly and manufacturing sectors in Vietnam are undergoing an unprecedented structural transition. Supported by national industrial policies, local conglomerates such as VinFast, alongside joint-venture hubs like THACO Auto (assembling Kia, Mazda, Peugeot) and TC Motor (Hyundai assembly in Ninh Binh), are driving double-digit demand for high-compliance, high-performance optoelectronic systems.
However, Vietnam’s local automotive tier-supply network is still emerging. Automotive manufacturers, Tier-1 system integrators, and major aftermarket wholesale distributors across Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City rely heavily on overseas ODM partnerships. Critical design factors include adaptation to the extreme tropical monsoon climate, which subjects front headlamps, light bars, and signal lamps to high relative humidity, urban floods, and high average temperatures year-round.
Sourcing vehicle lighting from China offers key logistic and financial advantages. Located in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, DERT Lighting utilizes direct maritime freight lines to Hai Phong Port and Cat Lai Port (HCMC), leveraging ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreements (ACFTA) to minimize tariff structures.
For any automotive lighting product to operate safely in Vietnam, standard IP-ratings are insufficient. Flood events require robust Hermetic Sealing. Our LED systems incorporate:
Established in 2012, Ningbo DERT Lighting Co., Ltd. has developed into a premier high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, design, engineering, and manufacturing of premium automotive lighting components. Operating a state-of-the-art 18,000 square meter production facility in Ningbo, China, we manage advanced automated SMT assembly lines, precise robotic silicone dispenser systems, and high-volume injection molding complexes.
Our structure houses more than 320 skilled professionals, including an dedicated R&D engineering division focused on complex optical ray-tracing analysis, dynamic thermal simulation, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) suppression. We systematically support leading international brands, tier-1 suppliers, and independent distributors with customized, private-label products designed for target regional regulations.
Vietnam is the world's fourth largest motorcycle market. Upgrading performance and interior aesthetics represents a significant market share for domestic aftermarket importers.
Achieving compliance in international trade and local registration procedures is essential for continuous supply chain reliability.
We design headlights and signal systems that meet the rigorous standards set by the Vietnam Register. This includes specific low-beam cutoff patterns preventing glare for opposing vehicles on single-lane national roads, and strict color coordinates for turn signal and brake illumination.
DERT products maintain ECE regulatory compliance (E-mark approval). This provides key support for VinFast and other regional CKD (Completely Knocked Down) assemblers looking to export platforms to European and neighboring ASEAN markets.
Modern vehicle electronics require careful electromagnetic separation. Our lighting assemblies incorporate multi-stage EMC shielding components, fully compliant with CISPR25 Class 3/4 standards, protecting advanced telematics and safety systems.
A look into our validation laboratories, ensuring long-term reliability and stable optical performance in high-stress operating environments.
Each batch of OEM/ODM vehicle lighting products undergoes rigorous testing in our dedicated facility. We ensure optical safety, mechanical endurance, and thermal resilience under extreme simulations:
Critical procurement, compliance, and custom design details for sourcing vehicle lighting systems into the Vietnamese market.
Yes. We work closely with our clients to modify optical designs, focusing on low-beam cutoff lines, color temperature ranges (such as adding all-weather 3000K/4300K configurations for high-humidity areas), and beam leveling. This simplifies local registration for vehicle imports and CKD assemblies.
Our engineering division provides rapid prototyping. Once the initial optoelectronic specifications and 3D CAD files are finalized, optical simulation reports take 7-10 working days. Tooling design and prototype manufacturing are completed in 35-45 days, followed by rapid sample dispatch for functional testing.
Our facility is located near Ningbo Port, one of the world's busiest logistics hubs. We offer FOB, CIF, or DDP delivery to major Vietnamese ports like Hai Phong and Cat Lai. Maritime shipping times typically range from 5 to 9 days, depending on carrier schedules, providing a responsive regional supply chain.
Yes. We offer built-in or external CANBUS warning canceller systems designed to work with the on-board diagnostics (OBD) of modern European, American, Japanese, and domestic vehicle models, avoiding dashboard error codes or headlight flicker issues.
