Việt Nam will officially transition to the use of E5 and E10 biofuels from June 1 this year in line with a roadmap prepared over many years by the Government and relevant ministries and sectors.
Việt Nam will mandate the nationwide sale of E10 gasoline from June next year to cut emissions and boost energy security, according to a new Government’s decision.
E10 biofuel will be rolled out nationwide from June 2026, six months later than previous scheduled, according to a newly issued circular by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
It is essential to address technological, policy and market obstacles to ensure reliable supply and consumer acceptance as Việt Nam prepares to switch to E10 fuel nationwide from early 2026, advancing its energy transition.
A draft circular of the Ministry of Industry and Trade stipulates that from January 1, 2026, E10 will be the sole fuel available nationwide for motor vehicles using petrol engines.
The nationwide adoption of E10 fuel reflects the country’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and advancing a low-carbon, sustainable energy model.
