Two-wheelers, including motorcycles and mopeds, play an essential role in serving Vietnam’s travel demand, and this paper aims to develop a baseline of fuel consumption of the two-wheeler fleet as a foundation for future policies designed to reduce emissions from the segment. The authors developed a database of the two-wheeler fleet sold in 2019 and 2020 and then analyzed vehicle characteristics and fuel consumption by two-wheeler type and by manufacturer. Given the similarity in the characteristics of the 2019 and 2020 fleets, the report focuses on data for the 2020 fleet but also identifies important changes from 2019 to 2020.
