This is an activity within the framework of the UNDP Climate Business Index and the Ministry of Planning and Investment - a system that encourages companies to take action to respond to climate change.
The overall objective of the Green E-Transportation initiative is to raise awareness about the importance of green transport in addressing the problems of climate change and air quality in Viet Nam; promote green mobility to reduce air pollution and the health risks posed by pollution
Under the initiative, over the next two months, a pilot test of the e-bike sharing program will be conducted at Ecopark with about 500 electric bicycles, 50 charging stations and an operator center.
After the trial period, UNDP will analyze all the data in detail and prepare a report on the impact assessment of greenhouse gas reduction as well as improvement of air quality. On that basis, MBI Motors Vietnam and UNDP will expand this e-bike sharing program in Hue City later this year. In the future, the e-bike sharing program could also be expanded to other cities.
