Laos Orders Civil Servants to Work From Home, Switch to Electric Vehicles Amid Fuel Crisis

Lao Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone on 13 March ordered government ministries to cut back on in-person meetings, introduce rotating work shifts, and begin transitioning state vehicles to electric.

Laos’ Prime Minister has ordered government ministries to cut back on in-person meetings, introduce rotating work shifts, and begin transitioning state vehicles to electric.

This is the latest move of a sweeping emergency order aimed at reducing the country’s fuel consumption as the Middle East crisis continues to squeeze supply and drive up prices.

The notice, signed on 13 March, is the most significant government response yet to an energy crunch that has rattled Laos since late February.

Between 4 and 10 March alone, diesel prices surged nearly 50 percent, from LAK 21,930 to LAK 32,860 per litre, while special gasoline recorded the second-highest price increase globally during the same period, according to Global Petrol Prices.

A modest reduction was announced on 12 March, bringing diesel back to LAK 31,560 per litre, but prices remain far above where they were before the crisis.

Structural Vulnerability

Laos imports over 97 percent of its fuel from Thailand, leaving it acutely exposed when Thailand briefly suspended all fuel exports following Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz in late February.

Panic buying emptied petrol stations across Vientiane within hours. Thailand subsequently granted Laos an exemption, and a 12-million-litre import helped ease immediate pressure, but the disruption laid bare just how little buffer the country has.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce had already ordered nationwide inspections of fuel depots and stations on 13 March, directing authorities to check supply levels, review delivery records dating back to 1 February, and take action against any operators found hoarding or manipulating supply.

Companies found in violation face formal warnings, licence suspensions, or public disclosure as fuel hoarders.

But the latest Prime Minister’s order goes further.

Fewer Meetings, Shorter Commutes

The most immediate changes will be felt inside government offices. Ministries are directed to cut travel to local areas, replace in-person meetings with remote alternatives wherever possible, and put general staff on rotating shifts to reduce the number of people commuting daily.

The order also uses the crisis as a moment to push Laos’ transition to electric vehicles into a higher gear.

Registration and service fees for electric vehicles will be cut by 30 percent, while fees for fuel-powered vehicles will rise by the same amount. Import procedures for EVs are to be streamlined and made less costly.

Transport companies are required to ensure electric vehicles make up at least 10 percent of their fleets by the end of 2026.

In Vientiane, authorities should estend the BRT network to the train station and airport.

Government procurement of new fuel-powered vehicles for administrative use should be halted unless strictly necessary.

Prices, Supply, and Food Security

Beyond the workplace and transport measures, another order in early March directed the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to crack down on hoarding and price manipulation across fuel and essential food items.

Rice, meat, eggs, fish, and vegetables are all to be kept at stable prices.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will also be in charged of helping farmers shift to renewable energy, adopt fuel-efficient technologies, and access low-interest loans to cushion the impact of rising input costs.

A dedicated task force will monitor implementation and report directly to the Prime Minister daily for the duration of the crisis.

New ABB report shows energy efficiency investments rising in Malaysia – execution now defines industrial advantage

  • 63 percent of industrial leaders in Malaysia have already invested in energy efficiency and a further 33 percent plan to within 12 months – yet results remain fragmented and uneven
  • Energy consumes 25 percent of operating costs in Malaysia, and 61 percent say rising costs threaten profitability – but barriers have shifted since 2022, from cost to data, skills and organizational silos
  • Digital readiness in Malaysia reaches 84 percent, and 85 percent agree total cost of ownership should guide investment in energy efficiency – however, only 42 percent consistently apply this approach

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 March 2026 – Energy efficiency has become a board‑level margin and risk issue, but many industrial organizations in Malaysia are struggling to turn intent into sustained results, according to a new report from ABB.

Based on a survey of 2,700 senior decision‑makers across 15 countries and 15 industries, the study, developed in partnership with Sapio Research, finds that 63 percent of respondents in Malaysia have already invested in energy efficiency and a further 33 percent plan to within the next 12 months. Yet, progress is increasingly constrained by execution gaps.

Energy accounts for 25 percent of operating costs on average in Malaysia, and 61 percent of companies say rising energy costs continue to threaten profitability. For executives, the challenge has shifted from reacting to price spikes to managing persistent price volatility and structural exposure.

Compared to the global average, Malaysia shows an average energy cost burden (25% vs 25% globally), above-average profitability threat perception (61% vs 59% globally), and the highest level globally of digital readiness (84% vs 67% globally).

“Energy efficiency has become a foundation for business continuity, compliance, and long-term value creation. It’s a condition for market access,” explains S Kanavati, Vice President, Motion Services, ABB Malaysia Sdn Bhd. “Today, leaders care about optimizing energy use. What they struggle with is deployment, at scale, and over time.”

Execution, not intent, is now the differentiator

The study shows that digital readiness in Malaysia has reached 84 percent, with respondents already using or ready to deploy digital energy‑management tools. However, readiness alone does not guarantee results. Only 42 percent of Malaysia companies consistently apply total cost of ownership (TCO) when making investment decisions – despite 85 percent agreeing it should guide purchasing.

At the same time, responsibility for energy efficiency remains fragmented across executive management, operations, sustainability, maintenance and finance, with no single function clearly accountable.

“The barriers to energy efficiency have fundamentally changed,” adds Pearl Ong, Regional Service Manager, Asia, Motion Services, ABB Malaysia Sdn Bhd. ” Cost is no longer the main blocker for many organizations globally – it has fallen from 50 percent to 43 percent since 2022. What’s holding companies back now are organizational silos, skills gaps and a lack of usable data. That’s a critical inflection point. It tells us the challenge is helping businesses turn intent into repeatable execution.”

In Malaysia, the most significant barriers to energy efficiency are the costs (54%), the potential for downtime and disruption (44%), and a lack of specialist resource (36%).

Renewables alone are not enough

The research also points to a growing risk of ‘post‑renewables complacency’. Among organizations in Malaysia that have switched to renewable energy sources (43% of respondents), 37 percent report a reduced focus on energy efficiency.

While renewables lower the carbon intensity of energy, they do not reduce the volume consumed – meaning significant efficiency gains remain untapped, even for companies that have already secured green power. As a result, opportunities to strengthen resilience, control long‑term costs and reduce exposure to volatility are being left on the table.

When asked about their primary reasons for investing in energy efficiency, respondents in Malaysia said reducing energy costs (63%), complying with regulations (53%), and improving their resilience and competitiveness (49%).

The next phase of the industrial energy transition will be defined by delivery capability. While activity levels are high across businesses in Malaysia and globally, efforts remain shallow, lacking coordination and long‑term structure.

“To close the execution gap, ABB combines diagnostics with targeted modernization of motor‑driven systems, software‑based optimization tools, outcome‑based financing and lifecycle services,” concludes Pearl Ong. “End-to-end energy intelligence is another way we help industries outrun, leaner and cleaner – turning isolated initiatives into sustained performance gains.”

XCMG From Going Global to Taking Root at CONEXPO 2026

LAS VEGAS, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XCMG Group, one of China’s foremost construction machinery enterprises, concluded a landmark appearance at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas, marking the company’s 11th consecutive participation in the world’s largest construction trade exhibition. Competing alongside nearly 3,000 exhibitors from across the globe, XCMG used this year’s show to demonstrate a pivotal strategic evolution: the transition from simply exporting products to establishing genuine, lasting roots in North America’s premium market.

 

XCMG Highlights from CONEXPO 2026

North America has long held a reputation as a high-bar market where performance, reliability, and innovation are non-negotiable. XCMG rose to that challenge by presenting 35 machine models specially engineered for North American operating conditions, covering core construction scenarios including earth-moving, lifting, aerial work platforms, and mining applications.

The highlight of XCMG’s exhibit was the global launch of the PRO Series. The next-generation product line built for the North American professional. PRO Series machines feature deep integration of intelligent interaction and precision control technologies, offering operators fully customizable parameters, intuitive visual interfaces, and advanced self-diagnostic capabilities. The result is a machine that transforms complex operations into clear, controllable tasks — raising both operator confidence and overall job-site productivity.

“This reflects a broader transformation in Chinese construction machinery — moving from scale advantage to technology edge. We are no longer simply offering cost-effective tools; we are exporting advanced engineering solutions, earning the respect and trust of premium global markets through innovation.”

— Zhai Kun, General Manager, XCMG Global Business Headquarters & XCMG Import & Export Co., Ltd.

XCMG’s North American strategy reflects this philosophy in tangible terms. The company has built a sophisticated local support infrastructure to back up its technology ambitions. Millions of dollars in spare parts are now stocked at XCMG’s North American warehouses, enabling rapid response and minimal machine downtime. Over 95% of XCMG’s North American workforce is locally hired. This is the testament to the company’s commitment to embedding itself into the fabric of the regional market rather than operating as a foreign vendor.

“Our North American parts inventory has been fully optimized to ensure the highest possible uptime for every machine we put in the field,” said Liu Quan, XCMG’s North America Director. “Regardless of equipment type, our local team is ready to provide around-the-clock support.”

This operational depth is central to XCMG’s pitch to North American customers: the company provides comprehensive, intelligent, and scenario-specific construction solutions backed by a local team that understands the demands of the market.

XCMG’s presence at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 is part of a broader global growth trajectory. The company’s products now reach more than 190 countries and regions worldwide. Along the markets of the Belt and Road Initiative, XCMG commands a coverage rate exceeding 95%. International revenue now accounts for nearly half of XCMG’s total business, reinforcing the company’s standing as one of China’s most prominent ambassadors for advanced manufacturing on the world stage.

With its combination of purpose-built technology, deep local investment, and expanding global reach, XCMG leaves CONEXPO 2026 not merely as a participant, but as a formidable long-term contender in the world’s most demanding construction machinery market.
