AP News · Vietnam will ban fossil-fuel motorcycles from central Hanoi over pollution concernsVietnam will ban fossil-fuel motorcycles in the heart of Hanoi starting July 2026, aiming to cut air pollution and move toward cleaner transport. The ban will cover areas in the city center and expand in later phases. Motorcycles are still the main way people get around and the plan has raised concerns among drivers and low-income workers about the impact on daily life. Local EV maker VinFast is expected to play a key role in the shift. But critics warn the plan lacks clear details, and poor public transport could leave millions struggling to adapt to the new rules.
