Among the equipment, the engine of the two litter-pickers are imported from the US, while the remainder are made by Vietnamese engineers.
The system can gather around 40 tonnes of rubbish every eight hours.
Litter in HCM City’s canals such as Nhieu Loc-Thi Nghe, Doi and Te is manually collected but the results have not meet expectations.
The new technology is expected to be applied widely in HCM City after 2021.
