VinGroup plans to operate 3,000 VinBus electric buses in HCMC, boosting public transport.
VinBus electric bus operating in Hanoi
According to VinGroup, VinBus will officially operate from March 2020 in 5 major cities: Hanoi, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, and Can Tho. A highlight of VinBus is its use of 100% electric buses manufactured by VinFast, with an initial fleet of 3,000 vehicles. VinBus operates on a non-profit model, aiming to build a civilized, modern public transportation system and reduce environmental pollution. The arrival of VinBus is expected to create a significant boost for the bus transportation industry in Ho Chi Minh City in particular and the country in general.
Advanced Service Quality and Management Technology
VinBus not only brings modern vehicles but also promises superior service quality. Unlike traditional buses, VinBus electric buses are expected to provide a more comfortable and civilized experience for passengers.
Furthermore, with the advantage of being a multi-industry corporation, Vingroup can apply modern management technology to optimize operational efficiency, thereby improving passenger service quality. The application of technology to manage the fleet, routes, and service quality will help change the face of the public transportation system in urban areas.
Reducing Environmental Pollution and Noise
Using electric power, VinBus buses contribute to reducing emissions and noise pollution, bringing a cleaner living environment to urban residents. This is an effective solution to the increasingly serious air pollution in major cities.

Challenges and Opportunities for VinBus in Ho Chi Minh City
Despite its great potential, VinBus also faces many challenges, especially the issue of transportation infrastructure in Ho Chi Minh City. Putting thousands of new buses into operation requires re-planning the transportation system, arranging stops, and operating routes reasonably to avoid congestion.
However, with strong investment and strategic vision, VinBus is expected to create a breakthrough for bus transportation in Ho Chi Minh City. The appearance of VinBus is also an opportunity for urban authorities to re-examine and make appropriate adjustments in transportation planning, creating favorable conditions for the development of public transportation. VinBus is not only a transportation business but also a driving force for the sustainable development of urban transportation in Vietnam.
