Over the past 24 hours, the Da Nang tourism market witnessed a massive green transition wave, especially in the self-drive electric motorbike rental segment. Aiming to build a zero-emission tourist city, a series of businesses and tech startups have simultaneously launched large-scale products, services, and promotional campaigns targeting a convenient and sustainable experience for travelers.
In the past 24 hours, the smart electric motorbike brand Selex Motors officially announced a strategic partnership with over 20 major accommodations, hotels, and homestays in key tourist zones such as Son Tra and Ngu Hanh Son districts. Under the agreement, IoT-integrated automatic Battery Swapping Stations will be installed directly on these partners' premises. This breakthrough solution allows tourists renting Selex Camel electric motorbikes to swap empty batteries for fully charged ones in just 2 minutes via a mobile app, completely eliminating the 3-to-4-hour charging wait. This infrastructure upgrade ensures that journeys to distant attractions like Hai Van Pass, Son Tra Peninsula, or Hoi An Ancient Town remain seamless and uninterrupted.
To stimulate green tourism during peak season, the Vietnamese electric motorbike manufacturer Dat Bike has officially activated the 'Green Da Nang Tour' promotional campaign. Starting today, all domestic and international tourists renting high-performance models like Weaver++ and Quantum from affiliated partners in Da Nang will receive an immediate 15% discount for rental packages of 3 days or more. A special feature of this campaign is that each renter will receive a digital-map-integrated smart navigation account showing the free city-wide Dat Charge fast-charging station network (allowing an 80% charge in just 1 hour). The Quantum model, with its ultra-wide 41-liter trunk, is currently the main attraction for family travelers and youngsters with lots of check-in luggage.
A quick survey of motorbike rental service points along the two vital routes, Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa, revealed that the demand for renting VinFast Evo 200 electric motorbikes surged by 40% compared to the previous day. With highly competitive rental rates ranging from 120,000 to 150,000 VND/day, the VinFast Evo 200 is currently the most sought-after 'national' model thanks to its stylish design and impressive range of up to 203 km per full charge. Many traditional rental shops in Ngu Hanh Son district shared that they are accelerating their transition, investing in 20-30 more Evo 200 units to timely meet the high demand from independent travelers and couples.
During a tourism promotion meeting held this morning, the Da Nang Department of Tourism signed a memorandum of understanding with green transport operators and online booking platforms like Klook and Agoda to build a 'Zero-Emission Tourism Corridor' model. The program primarily targets tourists from South Korea, Japan, and European countries who favor sustainable green lifestyles. Eco-friendly hotel + stylish electric motorbike combo packages are being offered at promotional rates, featuring a integrated QR code for instant vehicle pickup at Da Nang International Airport. This move not only simplifies rental procedures for foreigners but also elevates Da Nang's modern, civilized tourism image on the international travel map.
According to the latest statistics from green energy infrastructure operators in Da Nang, renting electric motorbikes with battery-swapping technology is creating a real sensation and gradually replacing traditional charging methods. Automatic smart battery-swapping cabinets located at iconic tourist destinations like Linh Ung Pagoda, Marble Mountains, the Dragon Bridge, and Son Tra Night Market recorded a two-fold increase in transaction frequency within the past 24 hours. The convenience of this 'swap as fast as refueling' model not only delivers a complete, worry-free travel experience for tourists but also minimizes the load on the urban power grid during peak hours, confirming Da Nang's right direction in building a smart and sustainable city.
