This was announced during the association’s 4th Congress (2025-2030 term), held on September 9 in Hanoi. VAMOBA also unveiled a new development roadmap as it marks over 34 years of growth.

Pioneering a green future for Vietnam’s transport industry

Founded in 1991 as one of the first trade associations in the country, VAMOBA has evolved from its roots in bicycles and motorcycles to now include electric vehicle innovation. Today, the association comprises more than 230 members, including 30 companies that assemble two-wheel vehicles and over 200 parts manufacturers.

Each year, VAMOBA’s members collectively produce approximately 400,000 motorcycles and 1 million bicycles. Of these, 93% are sold domestically, while 7% are exported.

According to chairman Pham Cuong, VAMOBA aims to become a leading regional industry association and a strategic link between businesses, government agencies, and society. Its development strategy focuses on five pillars: comprehensive digital transformation using AI, Big Data, IoT, and e-commerce; promoting sustainable growth through electric and hybrid vehicle development; boosting international competitiveness by supporting member enterprises and expanding “Made in Vietnam” branding.

Chairman Cuong emphasized the industry’s alignment with global green transition trends. In 2025, VAMOBA members, in collaboration with partners, will operate over 500 charging stations in major cities, with a goal of exceeding 2,000 by 2027 to support the sustainable growth of EVs.

By 2027, all VAMOBA members are expected to have at least one electric vehicle product. The target for 2030 is for EVs to represent 40% of total vehicle output and to cut CO₂ emissions by 50% compared to 2020 levels. By 2035, all vehicles produced are to be fully eco-friendly.

Nguyen Dong Phong, Director of the Emission Testing Center under the Vietnam Register, stressed the association’s critical role in Vietnam’s green transition and emission reduction efforts, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050.

Phong called on VAMOBA to proactively engage in helping manufacturers and importers meet environmental standards and emission regulations. He also urged greater collaboration with government agencies in developing standards and inspection protocols for motorcycles, electric vehicles, hybrids, and clean-energy vehicles.
