In Official Letter, The Japanese Embassy And Manufacturers Such As Honda, Yamaha, And Suzuki Warn That The Ban On Gasoline Motorcycles In Hanoi Could Cause Bankruptcies And Mass Unemployment.

The Japanese government and major motorcycle manufacturers issued a warning to Vietnam about the possible economic and employment effects of the decision to ban gasoline-powered motorcycles in downtown Hanoi starting in 2026.

The measure, formalized in July by the Vietnamese government under the guidance of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, aims to reduce the high levels of air pollution in the capital.

Reaction Of Japan And Manufacturers

The Japanese embassy sent a letter to the Vietnamese authorities classifying the change as abrupt.

Market In Transformation And Vietnamese Response

The motorcycle market in Vietnam, valued at US$ 4.6 billion, has a usage rate of nearly 80% among more than 100 million inhabitants.

Even without a direct impact on cars, gasoline car sales fell 18% in September compared to the previous year, according to data from the VAMA association.

While Japanese manufacturers analyze the future of their operations, local company VinFast recorded a 55% increase in sales of electric motorcycles and bicycles in the second quarter of 2025, reaching nearly 70,000 units sold.

So far, the Vietnamese government has not formally responded to Japanese concerns but reinforced that the restriction is essential to improve air quality in Hanoi.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that the country is seeking international cooperation to reduce emissions and intends to adopt a shared roadmap for transition. Ho Chi Minh City is also planning similar restrictions in the coming years.

Political Change In Japan

Meanwhile, the Japanese Parliament appointed Sanae Takaichi as Prime Minister — the first woman to hold the position.

Takaichi leads a coalition government that prioritizes political stability and maintaining agreements with the opposition, which may influence future decisions regarding Japan’s economic interests in foreign markets such as Vietnam.

Political Change In Japan

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Around 7,000 jobs are expected to emerge in Navegantes with a new billion-dollar order from Petrobras, which closed R$ 11 billion in contracts to build four hybrid propulsion vessels equipped with underwater robots for the pre-salt layer at the Santa Catarina shipyard.

The oldest nuclear aircraft carrier still in operation in the world is currently on Brazilian soil making its final journey before retirement, and two American military planes landed in Salvador and Fortaleza to support the mission.

A new plastic tile that perfectly mimics traditional clay ones is gaining popularity on Brazilian roofs, being lighter, quicker to install, and capable of reducing both construction time and the weight on the house structure all at once.

WhatsApp is about to eliminate one of the app’s biggest annoyances; soon a single screen will show all online contacts at the same time without needing to open each conversation individually to find out who is available.

China raises an alert in the military industry by producing parts for the J-20 fighter jet in a nearly human-free factory, where AI, robots, and autonomous vehicles cut more than 80% of manual labor and double efficiency.
