Vietnam will begin imposing restrictions on the import and manufacture of vehicles that run on fossil fuels from 2040.
The Vietnam government’s energy transition programme outlined targets for the reduction of carbon and methane emissions from the transport sector, aimed at making it a zero-emissions industry by 2050.
This programme dictates that all road vehicles including those for public transport must be electric or use green energy by 2050, and that a “proper charging station system” is to be set up nationwide, it said. By the same target, all trains in Vietnam will be electric, while all aircraft in the country will use green or sustainable fuels.
Vietnam will encourage the production and sales of EVs such as the VinFast VF e34 (left), while internal combustion-powered models such as the V8-powered President (right) will be hit with restrictions.
