In Vietnam, food delivery, ride-hailing apps embrace EVs

Two food delivery and ride-hailing applications operating in Vietnam, Be and Baemin, have turned to electric vehicles (EVs) as a more eco-friendly means of transportation for their fleets. Baemin is the latest to join this trend following an announcement on Wednesday, when the German-owned South Korean food delivery service said it is cooperating with Vietnamese firm Selex Smart Electric Vehicle JSC to launch an electric motorbike delivery fleet. The two firms believe that the use of electric motorbikes will help optimize the delivery service and cut operational costs by 40 percent.
