In the past 24 hours, Hue city has recorded a boom in the 'Green Tourism - Green Ancient Capital' trend. Aiming to become a sustainable heritage city, authorities and travel agencies are pushing to replace traditional gasoline motorcycles with electric ones. Tourists now prioritize electric motorcycles due to their noiseless and emission-free nature, which perfectly suits the peaceful and ancient atmosphere of Hue's tombs and temples. Popular models like VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S are becoming indispensable 'check-in' vehicles for young people visiting the Imperial Citadel.
The most prominent news is the expansion of the VinFast electric motorcycle charging station system across the city. Today, 3 new fast-charging points were inaugurated near the Minh Mang and Khai Dinh Tombs, bringing the total number of charging points in Hue to 45. This completely resolves the anxiety of running out of battery for tourists traveling long distances to the outskirts. Xanh SM has also launched flexible hourly rental packages, starting from only 100,000 VNĐ for a 4-hour experience, allowing tourists to easily explore the routes along the Perfume River without worrying about rising fuel costs.
Hoan Giang Company, the market leader in electric motorcycle rentals in Hue, has just announced an update to its fleet with 50 new-generation VinFast Evo200 units. A key feature of this model is its travel range of up to 200km per charge, making it ideal for exploring Tam Giang Lagoon or Hai Van Pass from Hue. This unit is implementing the 'Brilliant Summer' promotion: a 15% discount on rental prices for customers booking via the website or fanpage 24 hours in advance. Actual rental prices currently range from 180,000 VNĐ to 250,000 VNĐ/day depending on the model, including insurance and 24/7 on-site technical support.
A new step forward in Hue's service industry is the integration of journey management applications for electric motorcycle renters. Rental units now provide a unique QR code for each vehicle, allowing tourists to look up maps of attractions, the nearest charging stations, and local specialty restaurants recommended by residents. Notably, the 'Self-guided tour' trend by electric motorcycle is increasing sharply. Tourists can explore the cultural depth of Hue on their own without a guide through audio guides integrated into apps connected to phone mounts on the vehicles.
In response to Thua Thien Hue province's 'Green Sunday' movement, major electric motorcycle rental dealers like HIDICO and MotorVina are simultaneously applying a '0 VND rental' policy for the first hour on weekends for customers participating in environmental protection activities. Additionally, the trend of combining hotel stays with electric motorcycle rentals is becoming popular. Major hotels such as Silk Path or Azerai La Residence now have dedicated parking and charging areas, while providing 20% discount vouchers for electric vehicle rentals to guests, creating a sustainable and convenient tourism ecosystem for visitors to the ancient capital.
