⛽ Trucks — 3 to Under 5 Tonnes
Petrol trucks of 3–5 tonnes exist mainly in North America, where cheap petrol and V8 culture keep them alive (Isuzu NPR Gas, Ford Super Duty). They start instantly, run clean and need no DPF/AdBlue — but fuel bills in Vietnam make them a curiosity, not a business case.
