Maersk rolls out electric trucks for inland transport in Vietnam
A.P. Moller–Maersk will deploy a fleet of heavy-duty electric trucks for inland container transport in Vietnam starting in the first quarter of 2026.
The national flag carrier has revealed its second quarter’s business results with a VND51.6 trillion ($2.24 billion) in revenue, up 5.5 per cent on-year. Its pre-tax profit has nevertheless been down by almost 11 per cent on-year to VND1.65 trillion ($71.73 million).
According to Vietnam Airlines, on a single basis, it has estimated a total revenue for the first two quarters at VND38.3 trillion ($1.66 billion), up 5.8 per cent on-year and an accumulated pre-tax profit of VND1.78 trillion ($77.39 million), an increase of 21.8 per cent on-year.
On the consolidated basis, Vietnam Airlines and its subsidiaries, however, have experienced a decline of 10.8 per cent in pre-tax profit when they achieved merely VND1.65 trillion ($71.73 million) compared to 2018’s VND1.85 trillion ($80.43 million).
Vietnam Airlines saw its business performance as rather positive, given the slower growth of the aviation market, the fluctuation of the foreign exchange and the rising fuel prices seen in the past five months.
Together with its subsidiaries Jetstar Pacific and Vietnam Air Services Company (VASCO), Vietnam Airlines currently accounts for some 51 per cent of the domestic share in air passenger transport.
