According to the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development, Ministry of Industry and Trade , the nationwide rollout of E10 gasoline from June 1st is being implemented according to the roadmap stipulated in Circular 50/2025 of the Ministry of Industry and Trade on the application of blending ratios of biofuels with traditional fuels in Vietnam.

To ensure a synchronized and effective implementation process, avoiding delays that could affect the supply, the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development requests that localities, from now until May 31st, intensify propaganda about the benefits and safety of E10 bioethanol fuel, in order to create consensus among consumers and businesses.
