In the past 24 hours, the Thua Thien Hue Department of Tourism, in collaboration with technology partners, launched a digital map of smart battery-swapping stations dedicated to tourists using electric motorbikes. The project features Selex Motors installing 15 new-generation battery-swapping stations around the Imperial Citadel, Khai Dinh Tomb, and Tu Duc Tomb. This 2-minute battery-swapping technology completely resolves tourists' range anxiety during long trips, creating a sustainable green transport ecosystem that seamlessly connects ancient heritage sites.
An alliance of 5-star hotels in Hue and electric bike brand Dat Bike announced an exclusive experience package called "Heritage Green Drive." Under this program, tourists staying at luxury resorts can borrow or rent the latest electric motorbikes at discounted rates. The vehicles are integrated with smart GPS navigation and a multilingual audio guide system, allowing international tourists to freely explore Hue while accessing historical information in the most vivid, intuitive way.
To stimulate green tourism this summer, major electric motorbike rental companies in Hue, such as Smile E-Bike and Hue Green Tours, have launched their biggest promotion of the year. Starting today, tourists booking via mobile apps or scanning QR codes at Hue Railway Station and Phu Bai Airport will receive an immediate 30% discount on rental fees (starting at just VND 120,000/day for VinFast Evo200 and Selex Camel models). The package includes comprehensive travel insurance and free 24/7 on-site battery rescue services.
A quick report from the Thua Thien Hue Tourism Association shows that over 65% of Gen Z and Millennial tourists visiting Hue in the past 24 hours preferred battery-swapping electric motorbikes over traditional gasoline-powered ones. The main reason cited is the elimination of the 3-to-4-hour charging wait time. By stopping at convenience stores along Le Loi and Nguyen Hue streets, travelers can easily swap flat batteries for fully charged ones via a mobile app, keeping their culinary and heritage night journeys uninterrupted.
The Hue City People's Committee has approved a pilot project for a "Zero-Emission Heritage Route" in the Bao Vinh Ancient Town and Thanh Toan Tile-roofed Bridge areas. Starting tomorrow, gasoline-powered vehicles will be restricted during peak hours, giving priority to bicycles and electric scooters. To support locals and tourists, service providers have set up 5 mobile electric bike rental spots offering free rides for the first 30 minutes. This is a strategic step to position Hue as a leading green heritage tourism city in Southeast Asia.
