The Hanoi People's Committee has released an instruction detailing the city’s plan for shifting its public bus system towards electric and environmentally friendly energy vehicles.
As per an announcement made on April 8, Hanoi plans to switch entirely to electric or eco-friendly fuel for its public buses by the year 2030. By April 15, 2025, a comprehensive yearly plan needs to be presented to the local administration detailing this transition.
The municipality has requested an immediate reassessment and revision of the standards used to evaluate the quality of public bus services, aiming to have the recommendations completed by the end of this month.
The Construction Department will oversee the distribution of land and planning for electric vehicle charging stations, as well as develop subsidized interest rate policies for green buses by April.
The Ministry of Industry and Commerce will guarantee a consistent energy supply, while the Treasury will simplify borrowing processes to assist enterprises in obtaining financial support.
