Signed on July 24, the sales contract aligns with Decision No.876/QD-TTg and the government’s net-zero emissions goal, supporting the transition to clean-energy public transport.
Under the agreement, Kim Long Motor Hue JSC will supply 100 electric buses to Phuong Trinh JSC with three lines, namely KIMLONGB30-EV, KIMLONGB40-EV, and KIMLONGB60-EV.

All three vehicle lines are equipped with advanced BYD batteries, providing a travel distance of approximately 270 km, 300 km, and 350 km, respectively, on a single charge.
