Surprise about the amount of savings after switching to electric vehicles
Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Anh (O Cho Dua ward, Hanoi) shared that her family started testing the first electric vehicle 6 years ago. Since switching to using electric motorbikes to go to work every day, she has been surprised by the amount saved.
Each month, the cost of electric charge has been saved by about 60-70% compared to before. Not only saving money, electric vehicles also operate smoothly, without dust. Therefore, in 2024, I continued to buy an electric vehicle, replacing my family's existing vehicle line," Ms. Lan Anh added.
Currently, I save about 4 million VND per month on gasoline when switching to electric vehicles. The cost of maintenance and repair of electric vehicles in the first years of use is almost non-existent. Taking advantage of the free electric charge policy, my family has taken our children to travel to many places. Therefore, my family has saved a considerable amount in the past year" - Ms. Bui Thuy Linh (Tay Mo, Hanoi) said.
Not only stopping at motorbikes, the electric car segment is also recording a strong shift. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Toan (Thien Loc commune, Hanoi) decided to switch to an electric car to serve the travel needs of his family and work. According to his calculations, fuel costs are significantly lower than gasoline cars in the same segment. More importantly, this conversion helps him be more proactive in managing family living expenses, while significantly reducing emissions into the environment.
Businesses promote solutions in operation management
If on a family scale, fuel saving is a cost problem, then for transport businesses, this is a matter of survival and a measure of competitiveness. In the context of a challenging transport market, transport units such as Kien Vang Group Joint Stock Company have quickly found solutions with proactiveness and sensitivity.
Instead of being passive in the face of market fluctuations, Ms. Tran Thi Kim Lien - Director of Kien Vang Group Joint Stock Company - said that the business has promoted solutions in operation management. Solutions that can be mentioned include: focusing on "limiting empty kilometers" - one of the biggest fuel waste drivers in the logistics industry, applying technology and software to optimize routes...
Business representatives said that strengthening management through digitization not only helps strictly control fuel consumption norms but also helps drivers improve their awareness of safe and economical operation. These practical solutions help businesses both optimize profits and create value by cutting emissions.
According to Dr. Le Danh Quang - Vice Rector of Hanoi High-Tech College, fuel efficiency towards shifting to green vehicles is an inevitable trend of modern transportation. However, this is a long journey and requires cautious steps. According to him, the entire transportation system cannot be changed in a day or two. In the current period, the most important thing for businesses is to build a suitable roadmap. That is the combination of optimizing the existing fleet through technical solutions, technology and gradual investment.
Also according to Dr. Le Danh Quang, fuel economy must start from training in fuel-efficient driving skills, knowledge about periodic maintenance to maintain engine performance is equally important as investing in new technology.
Fuel saving is not only cost reduction but also environmental protection responsibility. The habit of using clean energy of families and the efforts of businesses to optimize fuel will be an important foundation for a green future.
