Major automakers including Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Ford and Mercedes-Benz have confirmed that most modern vehicles currently operating in Vietnam are compatible with E10 biofuel, easing concerns ahead of the fuel’s nationwide rollout from June 1.
The transition, implemented under the Government and Ministry of Industry and Trade’s roadmap, has drawn significant public attention, particularly over concerns about engine performance, fuel consumption and vehicle durability.
Under Circular 50/2025/TT-BCT issued by the Ministry of Industry and Trade on November 7, 2025, unleaded gasoline nationwide will be required to use E10 biofuel from June 1, 2026. The move is considered the next step in Vietnam’s strategy to promote green energy transition, reduce emissions and expand the use of renewable fuels.
To ensure safer use of E10 fuel, consumers are advised to regularly maintain fuel systems, replace deteriorated rubber components and refuel at reputable petrol stations to ensure ethanol blending quality meets standards.
Experts said that for most modern cars and motorcycles, switching to E10 is unlikely to significantly affect engine performance or durability provided the vehicles are properly maintained.
On biofuel consumption, as of 8 June 2026, the total biofuel sales reached about 310.6 million liters, including 290.5 million liters of E10 and 20.1 million liters of E5.
On distribution, more than 17,000 retail fuel outlets nationwide have now completed the transition to selling biofuels according to the prescribed schedule; all petrol-selling stations have switched to the new fuels as required.
