越南环境监察中心数据表明，2024年河内PM2.5年均值为越南国家标准值的两倍。造成空气污染的主要 因素是灰尘、车辆尾气排放以及建筑业、工业和农业的生产活动，且污染情况仍在不断恶化。目前河内 市机动车数量已达850万辆，其中摩托车约730万辆，占比超80%。河内市一环路穿过中心区域的路段仅 长7.2公里，但贯穿了多个高密度城区，是首都最拥堵的"交通动脉"。专家预计河内在逐步落实禁令 后，可以将PM2.5年均值降低20%。 《劳动者报》称，目前越南河内仅有154条公交线路和2条地铁线路，公共交通发展潜力较大。政府强 调，将持续推动"公交+铁路"的公共交通模式，并通过建立小型电动公交线路等一系列方式缓解首都交 通压力。据越南《青年报》报道，若相关政策实施，越南将成为东南亚第一个在首都核心区对摩托车下 达"强硬禁令"的国家，这将推动越南的电动车产业发展，并为国内其他城市解决污染问题提供模板。河 内市市长称，为减小禁令带来的冲击，市政府会推出"以旧换电"计划，为置换电动车的居民提供低息贷 款和补贴，今年9月还将对电动车企业提供税费优惠，鼓励相关企业扩产电动车并设置更多充电桩。 （周洋） 【环球时报综合报道】综合越南多 ...
