(NLDO) - Da Nang leaders have specified the time and scope of passenger and cargo transportation by 4-wheel electric vehicles in the city.

On August 4, the People's Committee of Da Nang City has just issued a decision regulating the time and scope of passenger and cargo transportation by 4-wheel electric vehicles - motorized tourist electric vehicles in Da Nang City.

Da Nang : Detailed regulations on 4-wheel electric vehicles

Four-wheeled motor vehicles are allowed to operate on roads with signs indicating a maximum operating speed of 50 km/h applicable to all vehicles.

According to the regulations of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, for transport business units and units operating internal transport by 4-wheeled motor vehicles, they must organize transport activities in accordance with the provisions of law, based on the routes, scope, and number of vehicles allowed to operate passenger transport business to request the issuance of badges according to regulations.

In addition, they must be responsible for developing and implementing plans for parking arrangements and using power stations to operate vehicles in accordance with regulations and in accordance with the number of vehicles and routes allowed to operate; must comply with the adjustments of competent authorities regarding routes, operating times and number of vehicles and must publicly post routes, operating times and transportation fees for passengers to know.

The City People's Committee requests the Department of Construction to coordinate with the City People's Committee to consider adjusting (restricting, stopping operation) the operating range of 4-wheeled motorized passenger vehicles and 4-wheeled motorized cargo vehicles, determining and publicizing the number of 4-wheeled motorized vehicles operating passenger transport in accordance with the current state of traffic infrastructure and organizing the issuance of "PASSENGER VEHICLE" badges according to regulations...

Da Nang 4-wheel electric vehicle: Why is it still "stuck"?

According to actual records, although the People's Committee of Da Nang City has clearly defined routes for 4-wheel electric vehicles to operate, a series of electric vehicles in the center of Da Nang continue to "stand still".

The reason is that currently only 3 routes in An Thuong Tourist Area (Ngu Hanh Son Ward) have signs with a speed limit of 30 km/h, including Hoang Ke Viem - Mai Thuc Lan - Ngo Thi Si, with a total length of approximately 1.5 km. "The routes with prohibition signs are too short and not continuous, so electric vehicles cannot operate" - an electric vehicle business owner stated the reason.

In An Thuong Tourist Area, 4-wheel electric vehicles are still not able to operate because the permitted routes are very limited.

Meanwhile, also in another famous tourist area in Da Nang (Hoi An Ancient Town, Hoi An Ward, Da Nang), 4-wheel electric vehicles operate quite "easily". Specifically, the above routes including Nguyen Tat Thanh, Ly Thuong Kiet, Tran Nhan Tong, Pham Ngu Lao, ... with speed limit signs of 30 km/h are designed to be more seamless and connected than An Thuong Tourist Area.

"In fact, during rush hour on the roads in Hoi An ancient town, vehicles cannot travel over 30 km/h, so posting such a sign is very reasonable, close to reality, creating conditions for electric vehicles to operate according to regulations" - an electric vehicle driver expressed.

As reported, before the proposal to add 30 km/h speed limit signs on busy tourist streets of electric vehicle businesses, the People's Committee of Da Nang City (old) assigned the Department of Construction to research and propose suitable locations to implement in accordance with regulations and actual traffic situation in the locality.

In Da Nang City alone (old), there are about 100 invested 4-wheel electric vehicles that have been "stagnant" for many months, no less than 200 workers have been laid off.
