While the reduced environmental protection tax lowered petrol prices from April 1, most transport enterprises are struggling.

The burden on transport enterprises will be reduced if a proposal for a three-month exemption of road maintenance fees is approved, the Ministry of Transport has said.

The Directorate for Roads of Vietnam (DRVN) is planning to launch a campaign to put an end to heavy trucks that had been modified to carry excess loads.

Many transport enterprises may have to spend trillions of VND to replace their current black box recording devices with new ones if draft regulations on transport trading are approved.

Following falling petrol prices since early 2015 and requests for lower transport fares, many transport enterprises in Hanoi started reducing fares with an average rate of 7 percent.
