[Conference] Reducing Emissions in the Automotive Industry: All Roads Lead to Net Zero

Conference on reducing emissions in the automotive industry: All Roads Lead to Net Zero

Reducing carbon emissions from motor vehicles, particularly within the automotive sector, has been recognised as a critical strategy in Vietnam’s pursuit of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 - a goal to which the Vietnamese government remains firmly committed.

This priority is also emphasised in the automotive industry development strategy through 2030, with a vision toward 2045, which the Ministry of Industry and Trade is in the final stages of completing. The strategy, slated for submission to the government by the end of 2024, explores various mechanisms aimed at fostering the growth of eco-friendly and energy-efficient vehicles. These initiatives are designed to phase out fossil fuel-dependent vehicles, while attracting and encouraging investor participation in this transition.

To provide additional insights and recommendations, VIR will host the conference “Reducing Emissions in the Automotive Industry: All Roads Lead to Net Zero” on the morning of August 29 at VIR headquarters (47 Quan Thanh, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi). The event will be livestreamed on vir.com.vn, baodautu.vn, and tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn, and on the Facebook fanpage and YouTube.

The conference will include participation from association representatives, prominent industry businesses, top experts, and officials from key regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

The event is supported by organisations such as BYD Automobile, Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, Truong Hai Group, Hyundai Thanh Cong Vietnam, Vietnam Electricity, Southern Power Corporation, and Ford Vietnam.
