Transportation

To reduce our carbon emissions, we are committed to promoting sustainable and low-carbon transportation options. Our goal is to make transportation to and around campus more efficient, accessible, and environmentally friendly.

  • Electric Vehicle infrastructure: Install EV charging stations at key locations on campus to encourage the use of electric cars and reduce campus emissions.
  • Public transport incentive: Provide subsidize for public transportation

Advancing Sustainable Electric Vehicle Charging through Green Infrastructure and Smart Charging Techniques” Project at Center for Environmental Intelligence (CEI) addresses rising greenhouse gas emissions by promoting sustainable EV adoption through renewable-powered charging stations with total fund of $295,000. It develops a green charging station testbed using solar, wind, and battery storage, alongside a digital twin model for performance optimization. Three station types – Fixed, Flexible, and Robot – are designed for various use cases, including campuses, urban hotspots, and remote areas. AI and IoT technologies enhance energy efficiency, demand forecasting, and grid independence. The Nha Trang Green Transformation initiative supports deployment, proposing 20 new charging points optimized via digital twin simulations to manage energy use and reduce CO₂ emissions in real time.

At VinUniversity, we are committed to building a greener campus by encouraging our community to switch from gasoline to electric vehicles. Through this initiative, faculty and staff receive exclusive discounts when purchasing EVs, have access to free on-campus electric vehicle charging stations, and benefit from prioritized parking spaces for electric cars. In addition, our weekly Green Wednesday campaign encourages students, faculty, and staff to adopt eco-friendly habits—such as reducing plastic use, conserving energy, and greening personal spaces. These efforts are part of our broader sustainability strategy, aiming to reduce carbon emissions, support eco-friendly choices, and create a healthier environment for all VinUnians.
