Hanoi launches electric vehicles on three more bus routes

Hanoi put into operation electric vehicles on three more bus routes on January 17 as part of the capital city’s plan to expand its green bus network.

Forty-six buses operate on the routes, including 35 buses with a capacity of 60 seats and 11 buses with a capacity of 18 seats.

These two types of buses are VinFast's latest electric models that have just been launched on the market, and were designed especially for Vietnam’s urban areas.

The three routes are Route 05, which runs between Mai Dong and Ha Noi University of Natural Resources and Environment; Route 39, between Nghia Do Park and Mai Dong; and Route 47, which is split into Route 47A between Long Bien and Bat Trang, and Route 47B, which goes from the National Economics University to Kieu Ky and back.
