Speaking at the seminar, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Automobile, Motorcycle, and Bicycle Association, affirmed that E10 gasoline fully meets national standards, conforms to international practices, and is safe for most vehicles currently in circulation.

"The claims that E10 is harmful to engines, reduces power, or increases the risk of fire and explosion are not scientifically based. More than 60 countries worldwide have used E10 effectively, so transparent communication is needed to build consumer trust," Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh emphasized.

Mr. Le Trung Hung, Deputy General Director of PVOIL, shared his views at the seminar.

Representing the company, Mr. Le Trung Hung, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Oil Corporation (PVOIL), stated that PVOIL has fully prepared the raw materials, blending system, storage, and distribution of E10 gasoline.
