To fulfill the commitment at the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26) which is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, Vietnam is prioritizing "greening" efforts to both land and sea transport with new business opportunities and challenges as well.
Eco public transport
Regarding road transportation, within the framework of Decision No. 876/QD-TTg on approving the Action Program for Transition to Green Energy and Mitigation of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions from Transportation, the government has set ambitious targets for Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to increase the adoption rate of green bus to 50% by 2030 and achieve 100% by 2035.
Representatives from Hanoi's Department of Transportation indicated that the city currently operates the most diverse range of environmentally friendly public transportation in Vietnam. These include compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, electric buses, electric taxis, metro systems, electric scooters, and public bicycles.
