The turn of the new year marked the start of Euro 5 diesel and Euro 4 petrol sales in Vietnam, sold by the Vietnam National Petroleum Corporation (Petrolimex). The latest fuel variants in the country will be sold alongside the company’s other unleaded fuel products, including Euro 3 RON 95 petrol and Euro 2 diesel.
In Vietnam, RON 95 Euro 3 and Euro 4 are priced at 19,280 dong (RM3.32) and 19,480 dong (RM3.36) respectively, while RON 92 E5 biofuel is priced at 18,240 dong (RM3.14). In Vietnam, RON 92 E5 biofuel replaced the RON 92 fuel without a biofuel component on December 15 as part of the government’s effort to boost consumption of the E5-blend RON 92 fuel, and to reduce the nation’s dependence on fossil fuels.
The E5 biofuel blend is supplied by Petrolimex and PetroVietnam Oil Corporation, as quoted by VietNamNet. Vietnam’s new fuel regulations come ahead the Euro 4 standard required of diesel vehicles from this year. In Malaysia, BHPetrol kicked off the Euro 5 diesel proceedings with a limited introduction at the end of 2014, while BHPetrol and Petronas brought Euro 4M RON 97 petrol in September 2015.
As for Euro 4 RON 95 petrol in Malaysia, the lower-sulphur content grade of fuel will arrive in October this year. A brief recap – a ‘Euro’ rating on fuels isn’t the same as the emissions standards commonly written about, but rather a different set of standards for fuels which allow vehicles with appropriate emissions control equipment to meet the emissions standards they were designed for.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
my Viet maid’s family get to enjoy clean fresh air living. Less putrid emissions, lesser cancer risks.
I am so shy. Third world ulu country like Vietnam also got clean petrol. OMG OMG OMG
OMG OMG OMG. How can u not know they impot these fuels?
last time you talk big and said Malaysia also nett importer mah. Now you putar belit
MY nett impoter of crude oil.
Viet nett impoter of fuels (petrol & diesel).
Paham tak, dik?
MY is net importer cause they sell all their high quality sweet grade oil to the Arabs and buy cheap Euro 2 oil from the Arabs.
Arabs con Malaysians. We don’t need to be net importer if Government did not sell all our Sweet grade oil to the Arabs and buy super cheap sulphur rich oil for Malaysians from the Arabs.
Very true. Why our government to give our own oil to its own people? Sell our oil to rich people and have to import pulak their low grade oil
Do know the meaning of the word ‘nett impoter’? It means no matter how much we expot, our importation volume is higher. I sell 8 but i buy 10, thats what it means.
Pipu tokking about clean, not cheap.
Whilst our RON95 still EURO2
Our RON95 is not impoted deswai.
you have said many times before that we ar enet importer. So so so many times you have said this
U seriously cant diff between RON95 & crude oil? Really?
Idiot trying to look smart…
Wow Vietnam fuel prices are higher than us despite their GDP poorer than us. And yet we complain and moan about fuel price.
Higher nevermind. So long as they give the rakyat clean petrol. In Malaysia we have dirty petrol. Euro 2 was banned in Europe in 1994. That is 24 years ago.
24 years have passed and we still blur.
U demanded cheap, right? So stop complaining.
BS, we have Euro 4 RON97 also people dun want to pay. Kept screaming their lungs for the high price..
Technically Vietnam is a oil producing country, having their reserves offshore (Pet oso has a stake in this). Similarly like us, they oso not in OPEC but unlike MY which is a nett oil importer now, their consumption is still low enuff to be considered a oil exporter. The higher prices probably reflects in their petrol & diesel r processed and imported from China or SG.
Deswai Penggerang is so important to us. So that we dun need to pay these prices when we switch to EURO5 later this year.
Go go RAPID.
by 2020, Malaysia can only achieve what other developing country achieved 10 years ago.
Gomen say in 2020, 2 year’s time, Malaysians will be earning US$48,000 per annum GDP per Capita
This means everyone will earn US4000 (RM16,000) per month.
We are indeed high income nation
According to World Bank simulations, Malaysia is projected to achieve high-income status as early as 2020.
The World Bank’s Malaysia Economic Monitor report published on Thursday (Dec 15) showed that Malaysia is projected to exceed the threshold that defines high-income economy status at some point in the period from 2020 to 2024.
The World Bank currently defines high-income economies as those whose gross national income (GNI) per capita stands at US$12,236 (RM49,916.76) or more.
In 2017, Malaysia’s average GNI per capita is estimated to stand at US$9,660 (RM39,407.97), just short of US$2,576 (RM10,508.79) of the defined threshold level.
The World Bank also projects Malaysia’s economy to continue at a strong pace of 5.2% in 2018, which is slightly slower compared with the expected 5.8% growth this year.
The World Bank raised its 2017 growth estimate for Malaysia’s economy to 5.8%, which would be the highest annual growth rate since 2014.
It had previously projected a growth of 5.2% in October, and this is the third time the World Bank revised the growth forecast for Malaysia this year.
This prediction by World Bank sounds like Proton’s prediction to sell 500,000 units. From 70,000 JUMP to 500,000. Fuyooh!
P1 expect to climb to 500,000 unit, 87% market

Hmm, shud i belip World Bank or… well… u?
Lets see who has more credibility 1st.. oh wai
World bank predict US9k per capita but our gomen say US48k in quoted reports.
Beza banyak. US9k vs US48k
Sigh. Looks like someone here cant diff between USD and RM. What a pity.
Last time i remember the target was USD15k by 2020.
USD value has dropped since then.
Meanwhile in Malaysia, we are still fueling the car with Euro 2 RON 95.
Our RON95 doesnt cost RM3.36 per L.
Wong, go fill ur car with Ron 97 Euro 4M. It’s only RM 2.56
Let’s look at an analogy: Under your own house there is a huge gold mine. By right, that is given by God and to be enjoyed and shared among all your family members. However, the cruel fact is your worker who digs your gold sells all your gold and gives you back some scrap metal. Worst still you still have to buy the scrap metal from your worker at an exaggerated price. Daylight robbery. Your worker is the sole winner and you have nothing left but live your life like beggars.
In here, the gov said the hell with air quality. We even built more coal powered power plant while other countries already switching to renewable energy
Our RON97 is Euro4 la..use that to protect the environment. You got choice, so pick one that you fancy la.
Gabriel, that is petro companies whom imported it from singapore, not the gov who do it. Yes, the pengerang is otw. But it should’ve build it years ago, like our efficient neighbour
John, go europe
Which gov u refer to? USA kah?
well….Since introduction of EURO 4M (Please note the M, it’s not same with EURO 4) in Malaysia, now only RON 97 is EURO 4m compliance. While the Diesel is Euro 5..but not every place have it, especially Sarawak has 0 source of Euro 5 Diesel. And the dateline for EURO 4m RON 95 is comming…but no news/teasing from petrol company??
Forget about upgrading our fuel to higher quality – government has taken too much money from the sole company with a major refinery – Petronas. Last year government asked for RM16b, Petronas struggled to find that money. This year?
During the reign of a certain leader for 22 years, Pet has to derma yearly sum of RM 30b, due to subsidy & projeks.
Now with lower obligations, they managed to ride out last years oil recession in fine order, unlike other companies. Pet has no complaints about the current arrangements unlike b4.
What a lame excuse. If u can sponsor f1 why not spend a bit to buy better crude oil and upgrade ur refinery to produce Euro 4 fuel.
Err. They alredi investing in the refinery. Ever heard of RAPID in Penggerang?
Welcome to Malaysia, and enjoy the poisonous air….
