Hue City is affirming its position as a pioneer in green heritage tourism. Over the past 24 hours, the electric scooter rental market here has witnessed dramatic transformations, ranging from battery charging/swapping infrastructure technology to special promotion policies for tourists.
According to reports around the Imperial City of Hue, Thien Mu Pagoda, and the Nguyen Dynasty Royal Tombs, the number of tourists choosing electric motorbikes as their primary mode of transport increased by 35% compared to last week. Major rental providers including Xanh SM, EV Rental Hue, and affiliated agencies have upgraded their fleet with over 300 new-generation electric scooters (VinFast Evo200, Feliz S, Selex Camel). On-site delivery services to hotels in the city center and Hue Railway Station have been fully integrated, providing tourists with easy access to silent, emission-free transportation.
The most significant technological highlight in the past 24 hours is the rapid expansion of the automated battery swapping network for electric scooters. A partnership between Selex Motors and local tourism stopover points launched 5 additional smart battery swapping stations. Thanks to this technology, tourists spend less than 2 minutes exchanging a fully charged battery pack, eliminating the 3-to-4-hour charging wait time. Rapid battery swapping is fast becoming the top choice for rental providers, optimizing travel time for long routes such as Hue - Lang Co or Hue - Thuan An.
To encourage visitors to experience clean transport, electric motorbike rental agencies in Hue have launched attractive daily promotional offers. Specifically, daily rental rates have dropped from 150,000 VND to 110,000 VND per day for smart electric scooters. Combo packages including 'Hotel + Doorstep Electric Scooter Delivery' offer a direct 20% discount on total costs. Notably, tourists booking via online apps receive 100% free vouchers for their first battery swap at all battery stations across the city.
Electric scooter rental companies in Hue have updated their fleet mobile apps with integrated heritage tour maps and real-time battery swap/charge station finders. Renters can easily navigate optimal routes to famous spots while receiving battery range warnings and turn-by-turn directions to the nearest battery swap station within a 1km radius. This feature greatly enhances safe, independent self-guided travel experiences for both domestic and international tourists.
Within the framework of the green infrastructure forum recently held in Hue, local tourism authorities and leading EV enterprises committed to converting 100% of traditional rental fleets to lithium-battery electric scooters equipped with swapping technology before 2025. Increasing the density of public battery swap stations not only benefits tourists but also preserves the delicate heritage atmosphere and minimizes carbon emissions across Hue City.
