According to Decision No. 876/QD-TTg on the action program for green energy transition and reduction of carbon and methane emissions in the transport sector, from 2030 onwards, in urban areas, 100% of new taxis and investments will use electricity and green energy. This clearly shows the irreversible trend towards green taxi business models.
Recently, Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai assigned the Ministry of Transport to coordinate with relevant agencies to study and propose solutions to support and facilitate businesses to quickly transition their road transport business to clean energy use.
Therefore, to support businesses in this transition, the government, along with related organizations and sectors, has implemented many measures to promote sustainability and efficiency in the taxi business. This article will focus on analyzing specific measures and support for taxi businesses transitioning to electric vehicles.
One of the most important measures to support taxi businesses transitioning to electric vehicles is financial support. The government has been implementing incentive policies and financial support to reduce the initial investment difficulties. For example, import tax and value-added tax (VAT) incentives for electric cars. Additionally, the government provides funding packages and preferential loans with low interest rates to support businesses in purchasing and transitioning to electric vehicles. This not only helps reduce initial costs but also creates motivation and encouragement for taxi businesses to transition to electric vehicles.
Moreover, the government needs to create a supportive and friendly environment for the use of electric vehicles in the taxi industry. This includes building clean infrastructure and developing an extensive and convenient charging station system. Building fast and ultra-fast charging stations on major routes and key areas will help alleviate concerns about charging capabilities and waiting times for drivers. Additionally, there should be a strong focus on research and development of battery technology to increase efficiency and capacity, thereby extending the operating time of vehicles and reducing charging time.
Support for training and capacity building for drivers also plays an important role in the transition to electric vehicles. The government needs to promote training programs and courses on the operation and maintenance of electric vehicles for taxi drivers. This helps drivers gain the necessary knowledge to operate and maintain electric vehicles effectively. Additionally, there should be special incentives and policies for taxi drivers transitioning to electric vehicles, such as vehicle discounts and special support packages for the transition process, as well as promoting intensive training programs.
Another important factor in supporting taxi businesses transitioning to electric vehicles is creating reasonable policies and regulations. The government needs to review and adjust regulations related to the use of electric vehicles in the taxi industry, including fare regulations, charging times, and driver benefits. Additionally, an effective management and monitoring system needs to be established to ensure that the transition to electric vehicles occurs safely and reliably.
Supporting taxi businesses in transitioning to electric vehicles not only benefits the environment but also creates new business opportunities. Electric vehicles not only reduce environmental pollution but also help lower fuel and maintenance costs. This can help drivers save costs and increase income. Additionally, transitioning to electric vehicles helps taxi businesses demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and contributes to the industry’s image in the community.
In summary, transitioning from internal combustion engine taxis to electric vehicles is an important trend in the taxi industry today. Supporting taxi businesses in transitioning to electric vehicles through financial measures, a supportive environment, driver training, and reasonable regulations is necessary to promote sustainability and efficiency in the industry. The government, along with related organizations and sectors, needs to work closely together to create a favorable business environment and promote the transition to electric vehicles in the taxi industry.
