The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction has just sent a document to relevant departments and units to get opinions on the plan to limit vehicles with high emission levels in areas facing the risk of environmental pollution, especially exhaust gas pollution. Comments will be sent to the department this July to synthesize and report to the Ministry of Construction as directed.

According to the document, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Ho Chi Minh City will provide comments on the emission levels of vehicles in circulation, including considering raising emission standards, developing specific criteria to delimit and restrict the operation of high-emission vehicles in heavily polluted areas. At the same time, identify and publicize information on high-emission areas; propose solutions to control emissions for motor vehicles; review and guide land regulations and policies to serve the development of parking infrastructure and charging stations for green vehicles.

The Department of Finance is researching solutions to control the quality of fuel used for motor vehicles, including gasoline, diesel and biofuels, to ensure compliance with the proposed emission standards roadmap. Proposing management directions for technology vehicle operations, which are growing strongly in the city. The Ho Chi Minh City Institute for Development Studies is proposing comprehensive solutions to promote the green transition in the transport sector.

The specialized departments under the Department of Construction, the Public Transport Management Center and the Road Traffic Infrastructure Management Center, are assigned to give comments on integrating transport planning with infrastructure planning, aiming at developing green means of transport, including the public transport system.

Ban on gasoline vehicles for passenger transport and delivery

According to statistics from the Department of Construction, Ho Chi Minh City is managing more than 9.6 million vehicles, including nearly 8.6 million motorbikes. Compared to the same period in 2024, the number of cars increased by 9% and motorbikes increased by 2%.

The research team proposed 4 transition phases for shippers and technology car drivers. Phase 1 (until December 2025) reaches 30% - about 120,000 vehicles; Phase 2 (until December 2026) reaches 50% - about 200,000 vehicles; Phase 3 (until December 2027) reaches 80% - about 320,000 vehicles; Phase 4 (until December 2029) reaches 100% - about 400,000 vehicles.

Accordingly, the proposed policy of interest rate support for shippers, technology drivers and people buying new electric motorbikes according to Resolution 198, with an expected interest rate of 2%/year when borrowing capital to implement green projects. Support to create conditions for businesses to purchase, exchange, recycle, and remove old gasoline-powered 2-wheelers from circulation...

The project also recommends that the Central Government exempt value-added tax, registration fees, registration fees and new license plate fees for electric motorbikes for the first time for 2 years from January 1, 2026. At the same time, refund value-added tax on each trip, support drivers using electric motorbikes to provide services.

With the above solutions, the research team expects that in 2 years, it will be possible to basically convert over 80% of technology vehicles and 2-wheel delivery vehicles to electric vehicles. When stable, Ho Chi Minh City will propose that the Central Government continue to take drastic measures to limit gasoline vehicles in general, and possibly have a roadmap to completely ban gasoline vehicles from participating in passenger transport and delivery services.
