Hanoi: Cua Nam Ward denies information that it is the first place to pilot a ban on gasoline vehicles.

On August 4, the People's Committee of Cua Nam Ward issued an official announcement denying the false information that was circulating. Accordingly, the ward was not the first place to pilot a ban on gasoline-powered vehicles before expanding it to the entire city as some websites reported.

Accordingly, Cua Nam Ward affirmed that the information that "Cua Nam Ward will ban gasoline-powered vehicles in its area and support people to switch to electric vehicles" or "Cua Nam Ward is the first place to pilot the ban on gasoline-powered vehicles before expanding" is completely untrue.

The roadmap will continue to be expanded from 2030, when similar measures will be applied to the area within Ring Road 3.
