E5 biofuel misses sales targets
The popularity and consumption of E5 bio-fuel remained below the government’s expectations due to inadequate support with regard to lowering its prices and ensuring supply. Nguyễn Phú Cường, director of the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Science and Technology Department, recently said that RON A92 would still be available in the market, co-existing with E5 bio-fuel. “More time is needed for businesses and residents to change their habits and the replacement should be gradual.”
