[Webinar] HOW TO BECOME A FRONT RUNNER IN E-MOBILITY? Mobilizing Dutch know-how for the future of Vietnam’s mobility

04/04/2023

Date: 10 March, 2022

Time: 15:00 – 16:15, VN Time | 09:00-10:15 Dutch time

Language: English & Vietnamese

Hosted by: NETHERLANDS EMBASSY & INFORMA MARKET VIETNAM

OVERVIEW

The Netherlands is one of the global front runners in e-mobility for many years now, not only in the roll-out of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, but also in the development of new technologies and services. In 2030, all new passenger vehicles sold in the Netherlands will have to be electric.

In Vietnam, the e-mobility market is still in its emerging stage, but the development is fast and dynamic, illustrated by the global expansion of the Vietnamese EV manufacturer VinFast. The Government of Vietnam supports local e-mobility development with fee reductions and tax incentives, and given its ambitious climate objectives (net-zero emissions in 2050), more stimulation policies for this sector are expected in the years to come.

The webinar will bring together relevant players from the Vietnamese and Dutch e-mobility sector. You can find in the webinar:

  • The current status of e-mobility development in Vietnam;
  • How has the Netherlands emerged as one of the global front runners in e-mobility?
  • Discussion on best and less-best practices for Vietnam, and the outlook for coming years.
