At the consultation meeting on the draft on June 3, Mr. Le Hoai Nam - Deputy Director of the Department of Environment ( Ministry of Agriculture and Environment ) said that the draft emission standards and guiding circular have been completed and are expected to be issued in the next 1-2 weeks. This will be the first time Vietnam has implemented emission testing for motorbikes.
At the consultation meeting, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment announced the latest draft on the roadmap for applying emission standards for motorbikes and scooters circulating in Vietnam.
The time for emission testing in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City has been officially delayed compared to the previous draft to create more preparation time for people and localities.
In some cities such as Hai Phong, Da Nang, Can Tho and Hue, motorbike emission measurement will be implemented from July 1, 2028. For the remaining localities, the time to apply emission inspection regulations will start from July 1, 2030.
In addition, the Department of Environment said that for low emission zones as prescribed by the Capital Law, vehicles participating in traffic are required to meet emission levels according to a separate resolution of the Hanoi People's Council.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, this unit will issue national technical regulations and guide localities in implementing them. The Ministry of Construction will play a role in inspecting, certifying and supervising emission testing facilities.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade is responsible for ensuring fuel supplies meet new emission standards. The Ministry of Public Security will coordinate in sharing inspection data and supporting enforcement monitoring.
Statistics show that Vietnam currently has about 70 million motorbikes and scooters in circulation. Emission control is expected to contribute significantly to improving air quality, one of the major challenges facing urban areas today.
Vehicle classification by year of manufacture
The draft clearly defines the emission levels applicable according to the year of manufacture of the vehicle. Specifically:
Motorcycles manufactured before 2008: Apply level 1 - Maximum allowable limit of emissions specified in the National Environmental Technical Regulation on emissions of motorcycles and motorbikes circulating in Vietnam.
Motorcycles manufactured from 2008 to 2016: Apply level 2 - Maximum allowable limit of emissions specified in the National Environmental Technical Regulation on emissions of motorcycles and motorbikes circulating in Vietnam.
Motorcycles manufactured from 2017 to June 30, 2026: Apply level 3 - Maximum allowable limit of emissions specified in the National Environmental Technical Regulation on emissions of motorcycles and motorbikes circulating in Vietnam.
Motorcycles manufactured after July 1, 2026: Apply level 4 - Maximum allowable limit of emissions specified in the National Environmental Technical Regulation on emissions of motorcycles and motorbikes circulating in Vietnam.
For motorbikes, the corresponding time frames are as follows:
Before 2016: Apply level 1 - Maximum allowable limit of emissions specified in the National Environmental Technical Regulation on emissions of motorbikes and scooters circulating in Vietnam.
From 2017 to June 30, 2027: Apply level 2 - Maximum allowable limit of emissions specified in the National Environmental Technical Regulation on emissions of motorbikes and scooters circulating in Vietnam.
From July 1, 2027 onwards: Apply level 4 - Maximum allowable limit of emissions specified in the National Environmental Technical Regulation on emissions of motorbikes and scooters circulating in Vietnam.
