Diesel is the primary fuel for excavators, dump trucks, generators, and other job-site machinery — essential to every construction project. A 1,000 VND/liter diesel price swing can meaningfully affect operating cost for long-running projects. The table below tracks the main DO variants by sulfur standard, plus kerosene and FO (Mazut) — auto-updated from Petrolimex.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is diesel today?
DO 0.05S-II and DO 0.001S-V prices are pulled from Petrolimex in the table above and refresh hourly. Petrolimex usually adjusts diesel and gasoline prices on the same cycle (every Thursday at 15:00).
DO 0.05S vs DO 0.001S — what's the difference?
The 0.05S / 0.001S number is sulfur content (%). DO 0.001S-V (0.001% sulfur) meets Euro V — cleaner, for modern vehicles with emission sensors. DO 0.05S-II (0.05% sulfur) meets Euro II — used by construction equipment and older trucks. DO 0.001S typically runs 500–800 VND/liter higher than DO 0.05S.
How is FO (Mazut) different from diesel?
FO (Fuel Oil, Mazut) is a heavy fuel for industrial boilers, ships, and brick/cement kilns. Cheaper than diesel but requires specialized burners. Not used for vehicles or mobile construction equipment.
