Vietnam is witnessing a significant shift from traditional gasoline-powered motorbikes to electric alternatives. The electric motorbike market in Vietnam is poised for significant growth. The Ministry of Industry and Trade reports that there are currently over 3 million electric bicycles and electric motorcycles in circulation in 2024. This has made Vietnam the largest electric motorcycle market in the ASEAN region and the second largest globally, after China.
According to Vietnam's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), transportation accounts for about 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Among them, motorcycles contribute more than 90% of carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and 60% of suspended particulate matter (SPM).[1] To meet climate change targets without hindering productivity, it is desirable to increase the adoption of electric two-wheelers in both freight and passenger transport
