Toyota Cross HV operates in the inner city of big cities in Vietnam The picture of electrified vehicles in Vietnam At the seminar on electrified vehicles in Vietnam organized by Tien Phong newspaper, sharing about the picture of electric cars in the world and Vietnam, Expert Nguyen Trung Hieu – Head of Policy Planning Department TMV said: a unit that has the conditions to participate in the research and production of electric vehicles, we have a general view of the picture of electrified cars as follows: Firstly, from the 70s of the last century, when the gasoline crisis When oil broke out, car manufacturers were forced to find a new direction, which is to find a way to replace internal combustion engine fuel. Second is the factor of climate because internal combustion engines contribute to the cause. Therefore, global warming is caused by the third is the concentration of too many vehicles using internal combustion engines, which causes air pollution, and the fourth is that along with the development of society, the technological trend is a condition. necessary to contribute to the promotion of production. Therefore, since the 70s, car manufacturers have been looking for new directions in vehicles using clean energy.” When the chairperson asked the question, is the price an important issue affecting the development of electric vehicles in Vietnam? Mr. Nguyen Trung Hieu said: the general car price includes production costs and taxes. For electric vehicles, there is a discount on prices due to the decreasing price of batteries. The second is in terms of tax, currently the Vietnamese government has preferential treatment for electric vehicles. Therefore, the factors of usage habits and some other factors are the issues that need attention. Maybe in about 5-10 years, the electric vehicle market will be doubled, tripled and the price will decrease. Currently Toyota has a full range of models, but it is only a matter of when to launch to match the status and development potential of the country. To do this is a matter of policy. In general, the picture of electric vehicles is a story of national challenges, and seizing the opportunities is a national problem. Outstanding advantages of electrified vehicles Toyota Cross uses environmentally friendly electrified vehicle technology Toyota Vietnam and Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) have cooperated, discussed and implemented a project to monitor and evaluate the performance of gasoline cars and hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles (Hybrid) in 4 areas. factors include Fuel Consumption, Emission Level, Safety and Driving Experience under real conditions. During the period from October 23, 2020 to December 23, 2020, with test conditions including actual roads, labs and test sites in peak hours, normal hours / ring roads , radial roads, inner city roads, one-way roads, research results show that the advantages of Hybrid cars are maximum fuel savings, low exhaust levels, smooth and powerful operation, and very smooth and quiet. In particular, Hybrid cars can save fuel and reduce CO2 emissions from 1.5 to 2 times compared to conventional cars, so they are very environmentally friendly. Why is the hybrid car line suitable for the current situation in Vietnam? Sharing about why hybrid cars are suitable for Vietnam’s current situation, Mr. Mai Ngoc Tuy, Head of Technical Service Department of Toyota Motor Vietnam said, firstly, with this model, we There is no need to change the user’s usage behavior. Because the way to use this car is like using an internal combustion engine car today. Second, there is no need to invest in infrastructure, which is extremely expensive. Third, if using hybrid cars, it will have less impact on socio-economic issues. Because if using this vehicle, the gasoline supply chain will not be affected and the problem of solving social jobs will not change.

The picture of electrochemical cars in the world Currently, the strong socio-economic development is leading to a skyrocketing number of vehicles, especially cars using combustion engines, which are contributing to a series of problems related to cars. environmental contamination as well as energy needs. However, the electrochemical trend is being applied more and more on vehicles, creating hybrids and electric cars, this is considered the “savior” of humanity in the future. The proof for that is that the sales of these vehicles are on the rise. According to the EV Volumes , the total volume of electric cars (EV) sold globally in 2020 will reach about 3.24 million units, reaching a market share of 4.2% and growing at 43.4% compared to 2019. Of which, 1.15 million units were produced in Europe, 0.5 million units were produced in North America and 1.6 million units were made in the Asia-Pacific region (China, Korea, Japan). The Workshop on Electrified Automotive Trends in Vietnam was recently organized by Tien Phong Newspaper. Currently, China is still the country with the top sales of electric cars in the world with 1.337 million units in 2020, an increase of 12% compared to 2019; Germany ranked second with 398 thousand units, up 254%; The US ranked third with sales of 328,000 units, up 4%. According to the share of Associate Professor – Dr. Dam Hoang Phuc (Deputy Head of Automotive Department – Hanoi University of Technology), cars with electric batteries have appeared since 1839. Over time In short development, electric cars almost disappeared due to the inability to compete with combustion engine cars in the 20th century. However, the mission of this vehicle went back into the 21st century with green cars, most economical and intelligent to protect the environment, limit dependence on fossil fuels. In addition, electric cars not only appear in people’s lives, but also present in all areas such as: Confidential military vehicles, F1 Hybrid racing cars, F1 racing for pure electric cars. Associate Professor – Dr. Dam Hoang Phuc (Deputy Head of Automotive Department – Hanoi University of Technology) gave a speech during the seminar on Electrochemical Automotive Trends in Vietnam. Meanwhile, some forecasts suggest that electric cars will account for 95% of all cars sold in Europe by 2030. Many countries in the “old continent” have set a goal to stop doing business. cars using internal combustion engines by 2050, Norway even announced it would end the sale of these cars by 2025. Developing electric cars in Vietnam needs many supportive policies According to the global trend, the Vietnamese market is also beginning to “set foot” in the electric vehicle sector with the bold direction of VinFast and some cautious moves from Toyota in the past year or so. There are no specific statistics on sales of electric vehicles (both motorcycles and cars) in Vietnam, but disclosures from industry agencies show that the number is not too much. Mr. Nguyen Van Phuong (Deputy Department of Motor Vehicle Quality – Vietnam Registry Department) shared: “In 2020, only 900 electric cars will be imported and used in Vietnam, this number is in the first three months. by 2021 there will be 600 units, however, the majority of them will still be hybrids ”. Mr. Nguyen Van Phuong (Deputy Head of Motor Vehicle Quality Division – Vietnam Registry Department). In fact, there are many opinions that “electrification is an irreversible trend, only a matter of time left”, but there are still many current problems that need to be solved to help this car thrive. more next time. On the concerned side, Mr. Phuong said: “In the new proposal to the parliament, the Ministry of Transport also mentioned tight control of environmental emissions from vehicles and will probably be seen. considered in the next National Assembly session. Regarding the control of the operation scope of all types of vehicles, it can be done, but there is no specific policy ”. Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thi Xuan Thuy (Department of Industry – Ministry of Industry and Trade) replied about the electric vehicle development policy in Vietnam: “Currently, the latest automobile development strategy and planning has been approved by the government. approved in 2014. At that time there was not much appearance of electric vehicles, so there was no specific strategic plan. Electric vehicles have thrived in recent years, posing a problem that needs direction ”. Ms. Nguyen Thi Xuan Thuy (Industry Department – Ministry of Industry and Trade). It can be seen that the current policies for electric cars are not clear enough to strongly promote this industry. While many opinions suggest that the government needs to reduce tax fees for consumers to make the price of electric vehicle ownership more comfortable, manufacturers also need specific support. This is not only a policy story but also a challenge but also an opportunity for the nation. Associate Professor – Dr. Dam Hoang Phuc said: “The government needs to facilitate the development of electric vehicles by: Creating markets, expanding manufacturers, promoting manufacturers and researchers. “. At the same time, he also added: “Our country needs to apply the policy of ‘Inviting eagles to Vietnam to spawn’, which means inviting car manufacturers to produce electric cars in Vietnam”. Sharing on this issue, Mr. Nguyen Trung Hieu (Head of Strategic Planning Division of Toyota Vietnam) said: “Thailand launched its support policy in March, while Indonesia will announce its policy. strong in October, attracting many car manufacturers to invest. In fact, they have ‘finished the nest for the eagle’. Vietnam needs to do something so as not to miss this opportunity as well as this challenge. This is a story of national competition ”. Mr. Nguyen Trung Hieu (Head of Strategic Planning Department of Toyota Vietnam). Capturing the trend of electric car development will help Vietnam catch up with major markets around the world. However, the issue of supportive policies from the government needs to be resolved early to stimulate consumer demand and find a common voice with car manufacturers, helping them to no longer worry about the production of electric cars in Vietnam. Vietnam.
