Hanoi (VNA) - VinFast, a leading Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer, on January 17 launched a new electric bus model with the capacity to carry up to 60 passengers.

These electric buses were handed over to three transport units working in Hanoi, namely Transerco, Newway and Bao Yen, to be integrated into the city’s public transport system in 2025. This initiative is part of the capital's broader goal to achieve a 100% green bus fleet by 2035.

Initially, these new buses will operate on four key routes in Hanoi: Route 05 (Mai Dong - Hanoi University of Natural Resources and Environment), route 39 (Nghia Do Park - Mai Dong (Den Lu Parking Lot), route 47 (Long Bien - Bat Trang and National Economics University - Kieu Ky) and route 59 (Dong Anh - Vietnam Academy of Agriculture).

In 2025, all the buses on these routes will be fully replaced by electric models. This expansion brings the total number of electric bus routes in Hanoi to 14, in addition to the 10 already operated by Vinbus.

VinFast is also working on developing additional electric bus models tailored to different traffic conditions, accelerating the greening of public transport as part of the Vietnamese government's sustainable development goals./.
