Hanoi gradually restricts and eventually bans motorbikes: Promotes the use of electric vehicles and public transport
The high density of motorbikes, estimated at approximately 7 million, is putting enormous pressure on the already overloaded transport infrastructure and urban landscape of the capital. On the other hand, emissions from internal combustion engines contribute significantly to air pollution.
Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh, in a recent meeting with the Vietnam Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (VAMM) on June 9, stated that Vietnam, especially large cities, are facing many problems caused by motorbikes, although this means of transport brings convenience to people.
In addition to public transport, one of the solutions that Hanoi has proposed in parallel with the motorbike ban is to encourage people to switch to using electric vehicles, especially electric motorbikes and electric bicycles. This is a direction with a lot of potential, especially when the City People's Council has passed a Resolution on Regulations on implementing low emission zones in the area.
Converting buses to use green energy: Determined to successfully achieve the goal
The Hanoi People's Committee has just assigned specific tasks to each relevant department, branch, and unit to successfully implement the goal that by 2030 at the latest, 100% of buses in the area will use electricity and green energy.
Pham Dinh Tien, Head of Operation Planning Department, Hanoi Traffic Management and Operation Center, said that through monitoring and evaluation, the electric bus routes operating for more than 3 years have shown comprehensive efficiency. During peak hours, the capacity factor exceeds 100%.
Recently, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Manh Quyen assigned departments, branches and units to prepare plans for charging station infrastructure and energy supply stations to serve the roadmap for converting buses to use green energy.
