The road network of the Asian country Vietnam extends over 200,000 kilometers. The most common means of transport found on the roads is the scooter. Although the registration of cars is increasing steadily, Vietnam is still one of the most important markets for scooters after China, India and Indonesia. 87 percent of all households have at least one corresponding vehicle. Worldwide this figure is only behind Thailand.

Vietnamese do not only drive from A to B. The scooter also serves as a means of transport for everything imaginable. From packages, family members, parcels to furniture, everything is there.
