Hanoi City launches campaign "For a green capital"

Kinhtedothi - On the morning of January 10, the Hanoi People's Committee held a launching ceremony for the campaign "For a green capital", calling on the community to raise environmental awareness and join hands to reduce air pollution in the capital.

Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Manh Quyen spoke at the ceremony

Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Manh Quyen said that traffic congestion and environmental pollution are two major challenges for Hanoi. The main causes are from means of transport, especially vehicles using fossil fuels. A report from the Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment shows that transport is identified as the largest source of emissions, accounting for up to 70% of emissions causing urban pollution. Responding to this challenge requires the joint efforts of the whole society.

The Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee assessed that switching to environmentally friendly means of transport, including promoting the use of electric vehicles, will contribute to reducing emissions into the environment, thereby bringing Hanoi closer to the goal of becoming a green and sustainably developed city.

Delegates launched the campaign "For a green capital".

The City People's Committee has issued Plan No. 359 dated December 10, 2024 on implementing the Bright - Green - Clean - Beautiful emulation movement, Plan No. 366 dated December 13, 2024 on improving environmental sanitation quality in 4 historic inner-city districts. The City is focusing on directing the implementation of green conversion for public transport with the goal that by 2035, 100% of buses in the City will use clean energy.

As the program's coordinating unit, Vingroup's representative, General Director Nguyen Viet Quang said that with the responsibility of a business operating in the capital and operating a complete electric vehicle ecosystem, Vingroup decided to launch the campaign "For a green capital" to call on the whole community to take action and reduce emissions in the transportation sector.

At the ceremony, Vingroup also announced that from January 10, companies in the green mobility ecosystem will simultaneously deploy many activities and support policies for electric vehicles.

VinFast supports up to 70 million VND for all customers who buy electric cars and register their license plates in Hanoi from January 10, 2025 to January 31, 2026. The specific support level will correspond to each car model and purchase method, ranging from 3.6 million VND (VF 3 battery rental) to 70 million VND (VF 9 battery purchase). For electric motorbikes and electric bicycles, the support level will range from 500,000 VND (Evo200 battery rental) to 3,000,000 VND (Theon S battery purchase).
