"Bike Haisya 110-ban" (operated by Arimo Inc.), specializing in the proper disposal and reuse of motorcycles, announces that it will conduct a field investigation in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City) starting June 1, 2026, coinciding with the transformation of the two-wheeler market.
In Vietnam, nationwide motorcycle emission inspections will become mandatory from June 30, 2026, and a pilot "gasoline motorcycle entry restriction" is scheduled to be introduced in the city center of Hanoi starting July 1. Ahead of this historic turning point, we will document the "reality" on the ground from a professional perspective to explore the future of a circular economy in Japan.
The field report summarizing this investigation is planned for release on our official website after July 2026.
Background: June 2026, "Judgment Day" for the Motorcycle Mecca
Vietnam, with a motorcycle market of over 70 million registered vehicles, is currently in turmoil. With new emission standards taking effect at the end of June 2026 and the start of low-emission zone (LEZ) operations within Hanoi's Ring Road 1, an "era of mass scrapping" is expected, with millions of old motorcycles phased out.
Meanwhile, there is a rapid shift toward electric motorcycles (EVs) driven by local manufacturers, and the city landscape is about to change dramatically.
Purpose of the Investigation: Listening to the "Real Voices on the Ground"
This inspection emphasizes "observation and street interviews" by staff active on the front lines of motorcycle disposal, rather than mere data analysis in a conference room.
1. Direct Confirmation of Local Adoption
We will grasp the "EV adoption rate" of motorcycles actually on the road ahead of the regulations and the maintenance/abandonment status of old vehicles from a professional perspective.
2. Grasping the City's Atmosphere and Citizen Response
We will directly confirm the movements of riders in regulated areas such as Hanoi's Old Quarter and the response status of local repair shops. We will record the market's intensity that cannot be seen through numbers alone.
3. Seeking Hints for Proper Recycling
With a massive number of scrapped vehicles emerging, we will observe how parts reuse and low-environmental-impact processing are being conducted (or identify challenges) to collect insights that can be returned to the Japanese market.
Message from Staff Conducting the Field Investigation:
"We typically work in Japan with a motto of 'safe, secure, and thorough' motorcycle disposal. Witnessing this major milestone in the world's largest motorcycle-dependent nation with our own professional eyes is essential to improve the quality of future motorcycle reuse and recycling in Japan. By interacting with local people who rely on motorcycles as an essential means of transportation and feeling the actual atmosphere, we hope to bring back hints for a 'next-generation disposal service' that customers can trust even more."
