Vietnam is entering an exciting new era in fleet management. With logistics and delivery networks expanding rapidly, fuel represents a significant operational expense for fleets—accounting for up to 40% of total costs. This rapid growth creates a tremendous opportunity for fleet operators and fuel retailers to adopt intelligent, closed-loop fuel card systems that enhance efficiency, visibility and compliance while optimizing fuel spend.
Why Vietnam Is Poised for Fuel Card Innovation
Vietnam’s corporate fleet market is growing rapidly. Recent reports indicate:
- Corporate fleets expanding over 12% year-on-year
- Fuel demand in logistics and delivery projected to rise 15–20% over the next five years
- Regulators promoting electronic fuel transactions
- Fuel retailers increasingly investing in digital payment solutions
Visa’s recent entry into Vietnam’s fuel card market underscores the country’s potential. While open-loop solutions like Visa’s provide flexibility, Cardtrend’s focus on closed-loop cards delivers the greatest operational and compliance value, restricting refueling to approved stations, simplifying reporting and strengthening adherence to company policies.
