Vietnam's capital needs US$887mil investment for fully electric bus fleet


HANOI, Sept 20 (Reuters): Vietnam's capital Hanoi will need about 21 trillion dong (US$887.27 million) in the coming years to replace all petrol- and diesel-powered public buses with electric alternatives, state media reported on Tuesday.

Hanoi Transport Corporation (Transerco), the project's adviser and Hanoi's major bus lines operator, plans to convert around a fifth of the city's 1,100-bus fleet to electric by 2025, and the full fleet by 2050, state-run newspaper Vietnamnet reported.
