Accordingly, in the Central agencies (including Departments and organizations at same level (referred to as Ministerial authorities) under ministries and ministerial-level agencies: the norm of using State car of Departments of Ministries will reduce compared to the current provisions (from 1 or 2 cars per Department to 1 car per Department which has 50 or more staff and 1 car for 2 Departments which have less than 50 staff).

However, according to the Ministry of Finance, because some titles are entitled to “compulsory package fund" for travel from their houses to their offices and vice versa; and “voluntary package fund” for a business trip, it is still necessary to provide car for these titles for a business trip. Therefore, the norm for the title of Deputy Minister and equivalent titles when going on business is maximum 3 cars and the number of cars is included in the general norm of cars for general work of Ministries.

Regarding the management and use of cars, the Draft stipulates that the car management shall be implemented by the centralized manner. Ministries or Central agencies shall assign a management unit to provide for titles eligible for using State cars. If agencies or units have titles that are eligible to use but their head offices are not located in the head office of ministries or Central agencies, the ministers or the heads of the central agencies shall consider and decide to allocate cars to those agencies, units to directly manage and use based on the norms prescribed in this Decree.

For the General Department and equivalent organizations under the Ministry, norms for departments and equivalent organizations under the General Department are regulated as follows: Determining the unified norm of using State cars of Departments under General Department (except for Departments operated by the vertical system in localities and Departments under General Department).

Specifically: The General Department Office is provided maximum 2 cars per unit as per the current provisions; the norm of using State cars of Departments under General Department will be reduced compared to the current provisions from 2 units per car to 3 units per car (for units which have less than 50 staff ) and 2 units per car as per current provisions (for units which have more than 50 staff).

The mechanism of car management: The General Department shall assign a unit management to manage cars under the centralized manner and provide for titles eligible for using cars when going on business. If headquarters of the units using cars are not located in headquarter of General Department, the General Department shall consider and decide to allocate cars for agencies or units to directly manage and use based on the norms prescribed in this Decree.

In cases where the General Department has a vertical system, and departments and equivalent units located in the localities, the norm for using State car as per current provisions is 1 car per unit.

However, in order to ensure cars for operation of units which are located in mountainous and islands and extremely difficult arrears with huge work load and must be provided more cars, the Ministry of Finance shall submit to the Government to regulate as follow: The Minister, heads of Central agencies consider and decide to allocate maximum 2 cars per unit. These cars are assigned to departments directly manage and use as per provisions.

In Directive No.31/CT-TTg dated November 2, 2016, strengthening management and improving efficiency of public asset use, the Prime Minister has directed that the number of cars for general work which are provided for ministries, agencies, and localities except for units in mountainous and islands and extremely difficult areas will be reduced from 30% to 50% by 2020.

The draft Decree also stipulates that mountainous provinces, islands and extremely difficult areas with huge workload must be provided more cars and will be prioritized to buy more car than regulations (maximum 2 cars per 1 unit instead of 1 car per 1 unit).

The draft Decree also stipulates the car price. Accordingly, the Ministry of Finance submits the Government to adjust the price of 12-16 seats cars or 4-wheel drive cars of 1,100 million VND per car (an increase of 60 million VND per car) in accordance with the market price of 4-wheel drive cars and meet the demand for travel in mountainous areas.
