Over the past 24 hours, the Da Nang tourism market has recorded strong shifts towards the 'Green City' goal. The focus of this change is the explosion of electric motorbike rental services, especially modern battery-swapping solutions, gradually replacing traditional gasoline vehicles. Below are the 5 most important developments regarding electrified tourism transport infrastructure and services in the locality.
GSM (Green and Smart Mobility) has just announced an increase of 500 VinFast Feliz S electric motorbikes for the Da Nang market. The latest update in the last 24 hours is the implementation of hourly rental packages specifically for tourists at preferential prices. Accordingly, customers can book directly via the app for as little as 25,000 - 29,000 VND for the first 30 minutes. This service allows tourists to freely explore coastal roads like Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa without worrying about emissions or noise. Major accommodations along My Khe beach have now integrated Xanh SM QR codes so guests can easily access the service right at the hotel lobby.
One of the biggest hurdles for tourists when renting electric vehicles—charging time—has been thoroughly solved by Selex Motors. In the latest report, Selex completed the installation of 10 more automatic battery swapping stations in areas near Da Nang International Airport, Han Market, and the Ngu Hanh Son area. This technology allows tourists to spend less than 2 minutes swapping for a full battery, ensuring journeys to distant spots like Hoi An or Ban Co Peak are uninterrupted. This is a breakthrough helping small rental units transition to Selex Camel models with high operational efficiency.
Recorded at major motorbike rental shops in Hai Chau and Son Tra districts, the Dat Bike Quantum line is becoming a 'craze' for young tourists. With a travel range of up to 270km per charge and a 41L trunk, this model is being prioritized by dealers to serve guests trekking the Hai Van Pass. Stores like 'Motorbike Rental Da Nang' have launched the 'Quantum Trial' program with rental prices from 250,000 VND/day, including comprehensive travel insurance. This proves that tourists are willing to pay more for high-performance and stylish electric models.
This morning, the Da Nang Tourism Association and electric motorbike rental partners signed a memorandum of understanding for the Summer 2024 promotion. Specifically, when tourists stay at more than 50 partner hotels, they will receive a 30% discount voucher for renting electric motorbikes at affiliated units. This program not only boosts sales for transport units but also creates a sustainable tourism ecosystem. Information on charging and battery swapping station locations is printed on free tourist maps distributed at check-in.
In an effort to reduce congestion and pollution, the city government is considering proposals to prioritize free parking areas for electric motorbikes at famous attractions like the Cham Sculpture Museum and APEC Park. This trend has stimulated electric motorbike rental facilities in Da Nang to upgrade their fleets. According to quick statistics, searches for 'rent electric motorbike Da Nang' have increased by 45% compared to the same period last year, showing a clear shift in tourist awareness of environmental protection. Rental units are gradually phasing out old gasoline bikes to invest in models integrated with App management and GPS tracking to ensure tourist safety.
