From July 1, public vehicles for commune level will be allocated by the Provincial People's Committee.

The Government issued Decree No. 153/2025/ND-CP amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 72/2023/ND-CP dated September 26, 2023 of the Government regulating standards and norms for the use of automobiles. The Decree will take effect from July 1, 2025.

According to the new regulations, the following commune-level positions are allowed to use cars for general work to perform duties and tasks assigned by agencies, organizations and units (not to be used to pick up and drop off from residence to agency and vice versa):

Secretary, Chairman of People's Council, Chairman of People's Committee, Chairman of Vietnam Fatherland Front at commune level; Deputy Secretary, Vice Chairman of People's Council, Vice Chairman of People's Committee, Vice Chairman of Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee at commune level.

One of the notable amendments is the regulation on the allocation (regulation) of the number of cars serving the general work of agencies, organizations and units:

Based on the total number of cars serving the general work of agencies, organizations and units, the competent authority and person shall decide to allocate the specific number of cars as follows:

The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the City Party Committee decides to allocate the number of cars for general work to each agency and public service unit belonging to or directly under the Provincial Party Committee and the City Party Committee (excluding the Party Committee at the commune level).

The Provincial People's Committee decides to allocate the number of cars for general work to each provincial office (except the Provincial Party Committee and City Party Committee offices); each provincial department, branch, and equivalent, the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, each socio- political organization; each public service unit under or directly under the Provincial People's Committee; each commune (including the commune-level Party Committee).

The allocation is based on the principle that the number of cars allocated to each agency or unit may be higher or lower than the number of cars determined according to the provisions of this Decree, but ensures that the total number of cars after allocation of all agencies, organizations and units does not exceed the total number of cars determined according to the regulations.

In case an agency, organization or unit has a subsidiary or affiliated unit with legal status, its own seal and account, the competent authority or person shall decide to allocate the number of vehicles to each subsidiary or affiliated unit of the agency, organization or unit when implementing the allocation according to the provisions of this point.

The number of vehicles after being allocated is the norm for the number of cars used for general work of each agency, organization, and unit; used as one of the bases for planning and budgeting, assigning, purchasing, arranging, allocating funds for use, renting car services; managing, using, and handling cars at agencies, organizations, and units.

The decision to allocate the number of cars for general work is made public on the electronic information portal of the Central Party Office, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, ministries, central agencies, provinces and centrally run cities.
