Hanoi has expanded its green public transport network with the introduction of 53 new electric buses on routes 16, 24 and 29, supporting the city’s transition toward sustainable mobility.
The new buses operate on key corridors including My Dinh–Nuoc Ngam (Route 16), Long Bien–Nga Tu So–Cau Giay (Route 24), and Giap Bat–Tan Lap (Route 29). The rollout is part of a sustainable urban transport initiative linked to Metro Line 3 and coordinated by the city’s transport authorities and operators.
With this addition, Hanoi’s fleet now includes 699 green-energy buses, comprising 560 electric buses and 139 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, representing 35.8% of the subsidised fleet. The city currently operates over 1,800 buses across 155 routes, including 128 subsidised services.
The expansion aligns with Hanoi’s long-term goal of converting all buses to electric or green-energy vehicles by 2030, reinforcing efforts to reduce emissions and improve urban transport quality.
