Mr. Patrick Harverman, Deputy Resident Representative of UNDP in Vietnam emphasized: "In the context of limited budget, Vietnam has made remarkable progress in exempting and reducing special consumption tax on electric cars and buses."

Vietnam has many opportunities to promote the development of the electric vehicle manufacturing industry. The government needs to accelerate basic policies, such as developing a charging station system, tightening emission standards, along with setting sales targets for a number of electric vehicle manufacturers with a certain number of electric vehicles.

The workshop is an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss solutions to support the transition to electric vehicles: Clarifying the orientation and ability to meet the requirements of switching to electric vehicles from management agencies, local authorities; enterprises manufacturing, assembling and importing vehicles; investing in developing charging station infrastructure as well as the ability and demand for people to switch. Sharing international experiences and trends and proposing solutions to develop this type of vehicle in Vietnam.

In addition to the presentations, the Workshop had two in-depth discussion sessions with the topics "Solutions to promote electric transportation" and "Electric vehicle market: Perspectives from businesses and consumers".
