1. Why do Vietnamese people prefer motorcycles?

1.1 Flexibility and maneuverability

Vietnam's road system is quite complex with numerous narrow alleys and intersections. Combined with frequent traffic congestion in densely populated cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, motorcycles are an ideal choice. Their compact size makes them far more agile than cars for daily commuting.

1.2 Cost-effectiveness

With a population of 90 million, Vietnam's congested cities cannot accommodate large numbers of cars. Therefore, motorcycles are the most effective space-saving solution.

Additionally, car taxes in Vietnam are extremely high, reaching up to 200%, plus expensive maintenance costs. As a result, cars are only accessible to high-income earners, while the majority view motorcycles as the optimal choice.

1.3 Diverse models and designs

Motorcycle manufacturers regularly introduce new models each year and continuously improve features such as electronic fuel injection technology to attract consumers.

These factors explain why Vietnamese people favor motorcycles. Currently, manual and automatic scooters are the two most popular types, driving rapidly increasing demand for specialized lubricants.
