1. Objective of the PoC project
The goal of the Proof of Concept (PoC) project is to estimate the amount of CO2
reduction of the electric scooter as a mean for the green GrabBike service in Thu Dau
Mot City, Binh Duong Province. The main contents can be as follows:
Measuring the traveled distance of the Pega AuraS electric scooter for one full
charging condition.
Measuring the daily traveled distance collected from the GPS devices of the 10
electric scooter Pega AuraS.
Estimating the amount of CO2 reduction of the electric scooter by comparing it
with the assumed comparative example of motorcycles powered by gasoline
engines.
2. Implementation process
Figures 1 & 2 show an image of the tested electric scooter used in the PoC project
named PEGA AuraS and the vehicle specifications, respectively. As provided by the
manufacturer [1], the distance traveled per charging under standard condition is 100
km with the type of the accumulator of 60V-20Ah.

Figure 2: The PEGA AuraS specifications
The global positioning system (GPS) tracker named PT08 with real time function
vehicle tracking device was used in this PoC project to measure the daily traveled
distance. Figure 3 illustrates the image of GPS tracker PT08 attached in the tested
electric scooter, while its specifications are listed in Table 1 [2].

10 GPS tracker PT08 was mounted in the 10 tested electric scooter PEGA AuraS.
GPS tracker PT08 can locate the vehicle position via highly sensitive GPS and GSM
receiver chip built into the device. All the collected data can be physically checked and
assessed via the domain of GPS tracking service provider in Vietnam [3]. Figure 4
shows the realtime interface of the GPS tracking software from the web browser where
the vehicle's travel history, the report data of the traveled distance, and the period of
stopping and parking modes can be monitored.

2.1.3. Selection of the PoC paticipants
TDMU students who have worked or been willing to work as Grab drivers with a
maximum travel distance not exceeding 40 km a day were directly interviewed by the
BWM Co. Ltd. to select 10 candidates to participate in the project implementation. All
participants traveled using the PEGA AuraS electric scooter and registered as Grab
drivers [4] as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 6 shows the Grab services for motorcycle including: Grab Bike, Grab Food,
Grab Delivery, and Grab Mart. It can be seen in Figure 7 that most of the students
chose Grab Food service in this PoC project for their registration. Unlike Grab Bike or
Grab Express (i.e. customers are scattered everywhere), Grab Food customers often
gather in famous food or drink areas, where many restaurants are located in the city
Page 4
center. Therefore, this kind of Grab service was selected by most of student since the
TDMU location is in city center where many famous restaurants locate near by. Beside,
the peak-off time of TDMU student class schedule is very suitable with the peak time
of Grab Food ordering, so this is the main reason to explain the selection of 10
participants in the PoC project.

There was no requirement for when to travel, meaning participants could decide
when they start and stop travelling if they fulfill the daily distance required. All participants
were required to weekly submit their travel data to a person assigned to the data collection
job. Data were collected manually, meaning participants should visit the person collecting
data in a regular manner on specific days. The person in charge of data collection
examined and checked the data validity to ensure the participants only provided data
correctly. Project schedule would be from September 18th, 2022 to November 04th, 2022
(07 weeks). When the project was completed, all the data collected could be assessed
collectively so that the amount of CO2 reduction of the electric scooter by comparing it
with the assumed comparative example of motorcycles powered by gasoline engines can
be evaluated. Summary of the main obtained results of the PoC project can be as follows:
Measurement of the traveled distance of the Pega AuraS electric scooter for one
full charging condition.
Measurement of the daily traveled distance collected from the GPS devices of the
10 electric scooter Pega AuraS.
Estimation of the amount of CO2 reduction of the electric scooter by comparing it
with the assumed comparative example of motorcycles powered by gasoline
engines.

CONCLUSIONS
The main conclusion can be withdrawn from this PoC project as follows:
In this PoC project, the average traveled distance per charge of the tested
PEGA AuraS electric scooter was 45.2 km and much lower than that of the
manufacturer's announcement. This lower mileage could be explained due to
the continuous use of high speed range of the driving mode “III”; thus leading
to the decrease in traveled distance of the tested electric scooter.
Consequently, the R&D activities for the PEGA AuraS controller are
necessarily conducted to improve the traveled distance per charge of the
tested electric scooter.
The average traveled distance per week of the 10 tested PEGA AuraS electric
scooters from the 1st week to the 7th week of the PoC project varied from 145.8
to 246.7 km; while the calculated average traveled distance per day was from
23.7 to 35.2 km/day. Hence, it might perhaps be concluded that the selection
of PEGA AuraS electric scooter for the PoC project is appropriate for the
students who work as grab drivers.
The CO2 reduction of the tested electric scooter with the 03 cases of maximum,
average and minimum traveled distance in the PoC project are 1.816; 01.11;
and 0.755 ton of CO2e/year, respectively.
The strong will of the Vietnamese government to achieve carbon neutrality was
confirmed by the official announcement made on 25 July, 2022 under document
number of 888/QD-TTg, which poses urgency to the market. To that end, the PoC
project may initially provide solutions to acquire carbon rights and financial benefits by
establishing a green mobility ecosystem.
