In the near future, the transportation for vehicles of group 5 (trucks of over 18 tons and 40 feet container) will be reduced by 25-30% on the HCM City - Trung Luong expressway. Currently, the fee for this group of vehicles is 320,000 VND/time.

The ministry also agreed not to set up toll booths on the 1A Highway through Long An province to help payback for Trung Luong expressway as before. Highway. Thus, in the near future, trucks with over 18 tons and 40 feet containers will only have to pay about VND 448,000-480,000/trip, instead of VND 640,000/trip as before. Therefore, according to Mr. Chung, it is more appropriate to reduce fees by 50% for all 5 groups. This will contribute to curbing inflation, helping enterprises overcome difficulties at the moment. "The Association will study and have more recommendations in the coming time", said Mr. Chung.
