The Hanoi People’s Committee has just issued a plan to implement the project for developing a public transportation system using electric and green energy-powered buses.

According to the plan, Hanoi is determined to complete the conversion of its entire bus fleet to electric and green energy vehicles across the city no later than 2030.

In central urban areas within Ring Road 4, all operating buses must switch to electric models to meet the goals of developing a modern, sustainable, and environmentally friendly transportation system.

As for the implementation timeline, from 2025 to 2026, the city will finalize policies and mechanisms to support businesses in transitioning to electric and green energy buses.

This period will also see an expansion of the electric bus network and the construction of electric and green energy charging stations, including fast-charging stations.

The projected transition rate for electric and green energy buses is 10% by 2025 and 20-23% by 2026.

From 2027 to 2030, the conversion will continue according to the planned roadmap. By 2030, all buses running on gasoline and diesel will be fully replaced with electric and green energy vehicles.

Specifically, the projected conversion rates are 34-39% in 2027, 47-54% in 2028, 79-89% in 2029, and 100% by 2030.
