Each vehicle was supported with VND300,000 of gasoline. The procedure for the drivers to get fuel was simplified. They did not need to prove documents. All truck carrying goods to aid the people in the Central region were supported at the stations.
This humane and practical program of PVOIL has received enthusiastic and generous responses from drivers as well as the community.
