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.

 

In the 2024-2025 period, Hanoi would organize yearly emission evaluation trials for motorbikes that have been used for at least five years. The city is also looking into using stamps to differentiate such vehicles.

Well that means 80% of the motorbikes would have a problem in that city.

Interesting, motorbikes even in Canada typically don’t have emissions testing requirements. This could be a good time to invest in electric motorbike companies. I’ve been watching Niu technologies for some times and it’s stock has come down quite a bit, it’s still overvalued in my opinion but if it drops further I may invest
