This briefing first provides an overview of two-wheeler (2W) sales in Vietnam, which have shrunk from 3.6 million vehicles in 2018 to 2.8 million in 2021, the lowest level in 15 years. Although the 2W market declined, the market share of E2Ws increased significantly and reached 10% in 2021. The paper also reviews the major 2W manufacturers in Vietnam, their production capacities, and E2W development plans. We also review the development of charging infrastructure, the E2W industry and its supply chains, and the policy context for promoting E2Ws in the country. Two key messages are: (1) Vietnam’s existing production capacity of combustion engine 2Ws and E2Ws can support the country in becoming a substantial exporter of both ICE 2Ws and E2Ws; and (2) Vietnam could become a leader in manufacturing E2Ws and E2W parts in the ASEAN region with proper support from the government.
