📋 Tender Overview
The rapid development of new technology vehicles such as mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV), full hybrid electric vehicles (FHEV), range-extended electric vehicles (REEV/EREV) or self-driving vehicles is creating an urgent need to standardize the concept system in the law. Download The Ministry of Construction proposes to abolish regulations on signs identifying motor vehicles using clean energy and green energy (green inspection stamp). The Ministry of Construction is seeking comments on the draft Circular amending and supplementing a number of regulations in the field of road registration. One of the notable contents is the proposal to standardize definitions and clarify criteria for classifying new technology vehicles. According to the Vietnam Register, the rapid development of new technology vehicles such as mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV), full hybrid electric vehicles (FHEV), extended range electric vehicles (REEV/EREV) or self-driving vehicles is creating an urgent need to standardize the concept system in the law. Clarifying the definition not only helps consistency and transparency in technology. management and registration activities but also create a clear legal basis for customs and tax authorities in applying HS codes, limiting budget loss; At the same time, promote manufacturers to bring green, advanced technology into Vietnam. Standardize definitions, create a clear legal basis. The Draft Circular has provided specific definitions for each type of vehicle. In particular, pure fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV/PFCEV) are defined as electric vehicles in which the fuel cell system is the sole source of energy for the propulsion system. For the hybrid vehicle group, the draft clearly classifies between lines such as mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV) using electric motor vehicles that only have the function of supporting the internal combustion engine to start, accelerate, regenerate braking and provide energy for auxiliary systems; the vehicle is not capable of being recharged from an external power source. Full hybrid vehicles (FHEV/SHEV) are driven by a hybrid electric powertrain. The vehicle is capable of moving only on electric power under certain operating conditions such as: starting from a standstill, moving at low speed, moving for a certain distance. The vehicle is not capable of recharging from an external power source. Fully electric hybrid vehicles include: parallel electric hybrid vehicles, series hybrid electric vehicles and mixed electric hybrid vehicles. In particular, parallel electric hybrid vehicles are vehicles in which the internal combustion engine and electric motor are mechanically connected to the transmission system and can simultaneously or separately transmit power directly to the wheels. Serial hybrid electric vehicles are vehicles in which the electric motor is the only source driving the wheels. The internal combustion engine only plays the role of generating electricity to serve the electric motor. A hybrid electric vehicle is a type of vehicle in which the internal combustion engine can both drive the wheels and generate electricity, combined with the electric motor for transmission. For externally charged hybrid vehicles (PHEV), the draft Circular proposes to stipulate that electric hybrid vehicles are capable of being recharged from an external power source. Particularly, range-extended electric vehicles (REEV/EREV) are identified as generation vehicles. Developed from pure electric vehicles, using an electric motor as the sole driving source for the wheels, can be charged from an external source and has a generator to charge the battery. The draft also stipulates that the minimum pure electric operating range is not less than 250km. For pure electric vehicles (PEV or BEV), the draft Circular stipulates that the vehicle uses an electric drive system and does not have any energy converter from fuel to create driving power. Abolition of green vehicle inspection stamps Another notable point of the draft is the proposal to abolish regulations on signs identifying motor vehicles using clean energy, green energy (inspection stamps). blue).According to the Vietnam Register, the abolition of this regulation is in accordance with Law No. 118/2025 amending and supplementing a number of articles of 10 laws related to security and order. At the same time, it helps cut down an administrative procedure that is no longer necessary, avoiding additional costs and time for manufacturing and importing businesses as well as vehicle owners. In addition, the draft supplements the definition of conventional means of transport and smart means of transport, in accordance with new regulations in the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of 10 laws related to security and order. Accordingly, conventional means of transport are vehicles directly controlled by the driver, which can be directly controlled by the driver. supported by active safety systems or partial automation (the vehicles automation level is classified according to levels 0, 1, 2, 3). Meanwhile, smart vehicles are vehicles that can operate without a direct driver, corresponding to automation levels 4, 5.mProposed standards for inland waterway vehicle registrarsSee moreStrict emissions inspection process: New vehicles can also fail registrationSee moreUrgently fix errors in issuing electronic registration certificates
