📋 Tender Overview
On October 29, in Ho Chi Minh City, the Ministry of Construction coordinated with Ho Chi Minh City Peoples Committee and agencies and units to organize Vietnam Green Construction and Green Transportation Week 2025 with the theme Innovation, promoting the development of green construction and green transportation in a sustainable direction. Developing green transportation is an inevitable trend in urban areas. The event includes a plenary session, four thematic seminars and an exhibition displaying green products, works, and solutions in the fields of construction and transportation. Developing green transportation is an inevitable trend. At the thematic seminars, domestic and foreign experts and delegates discussed green logistics strategies, reducing carbon emissions, applying digital technology - artificial intelligence (AI) in transportation and developing construction materials. Environmentally friendly. Mr. Nguyen Huy Hoang, Head of Strategy and Policy Department (Strategy Academy, Construction Officer Training, Ministry of Construction), said that in the green transportation development strategy, there are many tasks and solutions that need to be implemented, but it is important to identify the top priorities. According to Mr. Hoang, there are 6 groups of key tasks and solutions, of which the first is completing the legal and institutional framework, building a set of criteria and standards for evaluating the transportation system. green transportation. Currently, road transport accounts for the largest proportion, much higher than railways and waterways, so it is necessary to strongly restructure the transport market share, in the direction of reducing dependence on road transport to move towards more sustainable development. Mr. Nguyen Huy Hoang said that, along with restructuring the transport market share, there needs to be a plan to transform vehicles and transport infrastructure towards greening, that is, combining the development of green infrastructure with green vehicles, while promoting digital transformation and adaptation. Using smart transportation. Sharing the same opinion, Mr. Tran Tien Dung, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Logistics Service Business Association, said that green logistics development is an inevitable trend, helping businesses improve their competitiveness and contribute to the implementation of national emission reduction goals. However, according to him, the State needs to have priority policies to support businesses in the green transition process, such as reducing fees, lowering loan interest rates and extending loan terms. According to Mr. Dung, Vietnam has an advantage with more than 3,200 km of coastline and more than 41,900 km of river roads, favorable for developing waterway and coastal transportation. This is a method that can reduce more than 70% of CO2 emissions compared to roads. Some pioneering businesses in this field have reduced up to 75% of CO2 emissions and saved 10-15% of logistics costs, Mr. Dung said. According to experts, with the current rapid pace of urbanization, especially in big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the development of a public transport-oriented urban model (TOD) is important. is also an important direction to help reduce CO2 emissions. This model limits people from using personal vehicles and encourages the use of public transportation. Commenting further on the development of green transportation and smart transportation, Mr. Vu Anh Hung, Director of OEM solutions development at Dell Technologies Vietnam, said that artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming the pillar of digital transformation in the transportation sector. This technology has been widely applied in route planning, traffic management and regulation, logistics operations, predictive maintenance as well as ensuring labor safety, contributing to improving the efficiency and sustainability of the infrastructure system.

Within the framework of the program, at the seminar Optimizing the use of energy and construction materials to minimize emissions in green buildings, Mr. Le Van Ke, Deputy Director of the Department of Science, Technology, Environment and Construction Materials (Ministry of Construction) shared: In recent years, sustainable development and response to climate change have become key orientation in the national development strategy. According to statistics, the number of green buildings across the country has now reached over 600 projects, with a total floor area of nearly 17 million m2, making an important contribution to the development of a green and sustainable economy. Developing green buildings not only helps improve peoples quality of life, but also makes an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions, saving energy, conserving resources and promoting a circular economy in construction. tuong.Le Anh
