Hanoi plans to evaluate motorbike emissions starting 2024, with vehicles failing to meet standards charged and restricted from accessing certain areas of the city.

 

The Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and the Environment said authorities would build frameworks and issue plans to manage motorbike emissions in 2023, as well as look into "area classification" measures to protect air quality and restrict motorbikes.
