All the new vehicles will meet high standards for exhaust fumes or use compressed natural gases as fuel. They will include 571 buses for 80 passengers, 409 buses for 55 passengers, and 700 buses for 40 passengers.

Ho Chi Minh City now has over 3,200 buses, most of which are old and release choking fumes.

Under the new project, companies and cooperatives that need buses in their business operations will receive preferential loans and or payment subsidies from the state.
