Roadmap to limit gasoline motorbikes and the transformation of people

ANH SON |

According to the announced roadmap, Hanoi will start restricting gasoline vehicles from circulating in Ring Road 1 according to the time frame from July 1, 2026, to completely stopping in 2030.

Moving electric motorbikes: An inevitable trend in the face of policy pressure

Faced with urban pollution, motorbike users are facing hesitation: continue to invest in gasoline cars or switch to electric cars. This is not only a cost story but also a long-term use value problem.

Tightening emission management, the roadmap to limit gasoline vehicles is gradually becoming apparent through new legal frameworks:

* Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety 2024: Effective from January 1, 2025, officially supplementing regulations on emission testing for motorbikes.

* Low-emission zones (LEZs): Hanoi is expected to pilot in the inner city from 2026, gradually limiting old gasoline motorbikes.

Mr. Phan Thanh Tung (Hoang Liet Ward, Hanoi) shared: "I intended to exchange my wife's 10-year-old scooter for a new scooter, but I kept struggling. Spending 50-60 million to buy a gasoline car now, if in a few years they are banned from going out or have to pay high emission fees, the car will lose its value. And buying an electric car, I worry about not knowing who to sell the old car to for a good price.

Mr. Tung's concern is also the common psychology of the majority of users today. Owning a new gasoline car at this transitional time poses many risks in terms of "asset loss" and convenience in the future.

While consumers are still hesitant, the market has seen early shifts. Typically, OKXE – a large motorcycle e-commerce platform – has been restructured since the beginning of 2025, shifting its strategic focus to electric vehicles to meet the green vehicle transition needs of urban residents.

The problem "Using gasoline - Choosing electricity": How to solve it in both ways?

To solve barriers to handling used cars when switching to electric cars, OKXE implements the "gasoline - electricity exchange" model based on a technology platform and a network of more than 2,000 partners. Instead of worrying about price gouging or complicated procedures, users are supported with transparent pricing and quickly buying used gasoline cars. This value is directly deducted from the cost of buying a new electric car, helping to reduce financial pressure and save time. With the comprehensive "one-stop-shop" solution, OKXE helps the transition to green vehicles become simple and optimize costs for customers.

Absolute peace of mind with the "double protective layer

In addition to the problem of handling used cars, OKXE focuses on solving concerns about quality and after-sales when using electric cars with a full-package support system. As a genuine dealer of VinFast and Yadea, OKXE ensures that customers fully enjoy the price policy, incentives and warranty from the manufacturer. In particular, in addition to the standard regime, customers are also given an OKXE Care package in the first year, including: periodic inspection, technical refinement and replacement of consumables. This companionship helps users feel completely secure when switching to green vehicles with comprehensive care services.

In addition, the three-day return policy is applied to minimize risks for buyers in the early stages of use. According to OKXE, this approach helps users feel more secure when making conversion decisions, and at the same time creates a feeling of long-term companionship instead of having to handle problems arising after buying a car themselves.

In the context of environmental and traffic regulations being gradually tightened, switching to electric vehicles is no longer a temporary trend but has become a long-term choice. With the participation of intermediary platforms such as OKXE and a full support ecosystem, the "transformation" process of consumers is expected to take place more proactively, reducing risks and costs in the transitional period of the urban transport market.
