Over the past 24 hours, the tourism market in Thua Thien Hue has recorded strong transformations towards green mobility, especially the boom of electric motorcycle rental services and next-generation battery-swapping technology.
The People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province has just announced a new action plan under the "Green Ancient Capital" project. Accordingly, the province will pilot traffic zoning priority for zero-emission vehicles in areas around the Imperial Citadel and major royal tombs. This policy provides a huge leverage for self-drive electric motorcycle rental services, with tourist searches for green vehicles surging by 35% compared to the same period last month.
To meet the rising demand, partners of Xanh SM have officially launched the VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S models dedicated to tourists exploring Hue. Rental prices are listed competitively, ranging from 120,000 VND to 150,000 VND/day. Visitors can easily book vehicles directly via mobile applications or at the reception desks of over 50 partner hotels in the center of Hue city.
The battery-swapping electric motorcycle trend is dominating the Hue market through cooperation between local businesses and next-generation battery startups. In the past 24 hours, 15 additional automated Battery Swapping Stations have been activated along key tourist routes such as Le Loi, Nguyen Hue, and the vicinity of Khai Dinh Tomb. This technology allows rental customers to swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one in just 2 minutes, completely eliminating range anxiety during their trip.
To stimulate late summer and autumn tourism in Hue, the alliance of electric vehicle rental companies in Hue has implemented a large-scale promotion. Specifically, tourists renting electric motorcycles for 3 days or more will receive an immediate 15% discount on the total rental cost and free battery swapping services at affiliated stations throughout their journey. In addition, each rental comes with a digital map showing charging points and eco-friendly Hue culinary spots.
The trend of eco-resorts coupled with green transportation is becoming the new benchmark. Leading resorts such as Pilgrimage Village and Vedana Lagoon have just announced the successful integration of battery-swapping electric motorcycle rentals into their accommodation packages. Guests do not need to pay separate rental fees; instead, they are provided with an electric scooter and 2 free battery swap cards to freely explore the ancient capital's landmarks sustainably.
