UPDATED on 12 June at 11PM with a correction on the number of provinces covered by EV stations
Fuel prices in Laos have declined steadily over the past two months, bringing some relief to motorists as inflation and transport costs ease. But for many households, fuel remains a major expense, and some consumers are beginning to consider electric vehicles as a long-term way to reduce transport costs.
As of 11 June, premium and regular gasoline were selling at LAK 31,300 (USD 1.42) per liter, while diesel was priced at LAK 27,620 (USD 1.25) per litre.
The reductions followed six rounds of fuel price adjustments between 1 May and 11 June. According to the Lao Statistics Bureau (LSB), lower fuel costs helped reduce transport expenses by 6.3 percent and contributed to inflation slowing from 10.2 percent in April to 9 percent in May.
Fatavan, a finance employee at a fuel station in Vientiane, said lower fuel prices have slightly reduced daily expenses, although fuel remains expensive for many households.
She noted that fuel prices affect a wide range of goods and services because transport costs influence the final price consumers pay.
As a result, lower fuel prices can make day-to-day expenses slightly easier to manage, but the overall impact remains limited. Fatavan said many Lao consumers would still not consider fuel affordable.
“Even though prices have fallen, fuel is still one of the major expenses for many people, especially office workers, transport operators, and others who rely on vehicles every day,” he said.
EV Interest Growing
Fatavan noticed that electric vehicles (EVs) have become more attractive as a way to reduce long-term transport costs, but several practical barriers remain.
She has considered purchasing an EV but remains hesitant because charging infrastructure is still limited across the country.
“Public charging stations are still not widely available, which makes daily use and long-distance travel less convenient,” Fatavan said. “There are different charging systems, so people are not always sure if their vehicle will be compatible with every public charging station.”
A fuel station owner expressed a similar view, saying EV adoption is likely to increase over time but will not replace fuel-powered vehicles in the near future.
The station owner added that consumers have historically been more concerned about fuel availability than price fluctuations, especially during periods of supply uncertainty.
Government Pushes EV Adoption
Despite concerns about charging access and affordability, the Lao government has intensified efforts to promote electric transport as part of broader plans to reduce fuel imports and improve energy security.
In March, the Prime Minister ordered authorities to encourage a shift away from fossil fuel-powered vehicles through tax measures and incentives. Under current regulations, electric vehicles are subject to a 3 percent excise tax, compared to 25 to 90 percent for conventional fuel-powered vehicles.
The government has also set a target for EVs to account for 30 percent of vehicle usage by 2030. In May, authorities announced a suspension on imports of most fossil fuel-powered vehicles until the end of 2026, while introducing price controls on EVs to improve affordability and accelerate adoption.
According to a May report from the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, Laos registered more than 14,400 electric vehicles between 2020 and 2025. Based on data from LOCA, an online ride-hailing and private taxi application in Laos, EV Charging stations now cover all 18 provinces in Laos.

Partnership with Korea Green Foundation and FIRA will help restore seagrass meadows off Geoje Island, supporting marine biodiversity, blue carbon habitats and local communities
BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 June 2026 – DP World has launched its first global seagrass restoration initiative on Geoje Island in South Korea, supporting efforts to restore 2.4 hectares of coastal marine habitat over the next four years and enhancing marine biodiversity.
DP WORLD Seagrass restoration South Korea
The initiative in South Korea was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between DP World, Korea Green Foundation and the Korea Fisheries Resources Agency (FIRA). The MOU establishes a long-term collaboration focused on ongoing monitoring of seagrass meadows, the development of restoration approaches informed by scientific research, and continued cooperation between public, private and community stakeholders in the coastal waters of Dadae Village on Geoje Island.
The partnership was launched on World Ocean Day, with representatives from DP World, Korea Green Foundation, FIRA and the local fishing community helping to transplant approximately 6,000 seagrass shoots along the Dadae coastline. The project aims to restore up to 2.4 hectares of seabed over the next four years and is expected to benefit local communities by supporting marine productivity and fish catch potential.
Glen Hilton, CEO & Managing Director, Asia Pacific, DP World, said: “Healthy oceans are essential to sustainable trade and thriving coastal communities. By restoring seagrass meadows in Geoje, we are helping protect one of nature’s most effective blue-carbon ecosystems while supporting marine biodiversity and local livelihoods. Together with the Korea Green Foundation and FIRA, we are supporting research, restoration and community engagement efforts that can deepen our understanding of these valuable marine ecosystems to strengthen the resilience of our coasts for future generations.”
Jung Tae-yong, Secretary General, Korea Green Foundation, said: “Seagrass meadows are an invaluable presence in supporting coastal ecosystems. They store carbon, help prevent coastal erosion and act as a breakwater for the ecosystem. This project goes beyond simple environmental protection, bringing together businesses, public institutions and local communities to expand practical marine-conservation models and public awareness of the importance of climate action.”
Seagrass meadows provide habitat for a wide range of marine species and contribute to the health of coastal ecosystems. They are recognised as an important blue carbon ecosystem because of their ability to absorb and store carbon naturally, making their protection and restoration an area of growing interest among researchers and conservation organisations.
The project will include ongoing monitoring and evaluation activities led by FIRA, alongside community engagement initiatives designed to support long-term stewardship of the restoration site. The partners also intend to build on the Geoje initiative through continued research, community engagement and public awareness activities that support understanding of marine ecosystems and coastal conservation.
This initiative builds on DP World’s broader sustainability efforts to support environmental stewardship and community resilience across Asia Pacific. From our flagship mangrove ecosystem restoration programme in Indonesia — aligned with DP World’s global commitment to restore and protect 280 hectares of mangroves by 2030 — to watershed rehabilitation initiatives in the Philippines and coral reef restoration in Australia, these efforts reflect a regional commitment to protecting the natural environments that are most critical to local communities.
Through partnerships with governments, non-governmental organisations and local communities, DP World continues to explore practical ways to contribute to the long-term sustainability of the environments in which it operates. Hashtag: #DPWORLD

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 June 2026 – Volcano Engine has officially entered into an in-depth strategic partnership around “AI+IP” with Bingo Group, a client of Data Hash. Leveraging the video generation capabilities of the Seedance 2.0 large model and Stephen Chow’s classic film and television IP resources, the two sides have launched brand-new AI content creation features and pioneered a new model for compliant IP commercialization in the AI industry. The series of interactive AI features has been progressively launched on major domestic AI content creation platforms starting June 10, 2026.
The relevant AI functions from this collaboration debuted first on two official platforms: Volcano Ark Experience Center and Volcano Engine Kickart. Meanwhile, they have been adapted and rolled out simultaneously on a host of mainstream AI creation tool platforms, including LibTV, Reelgen Engine by Kuaizi.ai, Wondershare Filmora, Wondershare Pixmax, NamiVideo, Kuaijianji, Qingjianji and Qushuiyin_kjj. Follow-up launch plans are also in place, with the features set to land on Douyin, Jimeng, Jianying and Xiaoyunqi in due course, further expanding user access and extending the boundaries of IP commercialization.
Centered on the Volcano Ark Copyright Commercialization Platform and the advanced video generation technology of Seedance 2.0, the partnership grants official authorization for three iconic film IPs of Stephen Chow: The King of Comedy, CJ7 and The God of Cookery. General users can create compliant AI content using officially licensed IP materials. This initiative fundamentally addresses long-standing pain points in the AIGC industry, including ambiguous content copyrights, rampant IP infringement and the inability to monetize derivative creations. It builds a full-chain compliant monetization system for IPs in the AI era, empowering content creators and film and television enterprises, and fully unlocking the commercial value of classic intellectual properties.
While the popularization of AI technology has greatly boosted content creation efficiency, unauthorized AI derivative works, IP theft and unclear ownership have continued to disrupt the order of the industry. The new business model jointly developed by the two parties integrates core resources from technology, IP and distribution channels. It not only fully safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of IP owners, but also provides creators with legal and compliant paths for content creation and commercial monetization. Additionally, it brings fans closer to classic film and television IPs, helping timeless classic works break through audience boundaries and achieve youthful influence and sustainable long-term communication.
Barbie Man, Deputy Chief Operating Officer of Data Hash, stated that Data Hash has been supporting Bingo Group with its business transformation since September 2022. After the rise of AI technology, the team further assisted Bingo Group in exploring new business opportunities in the field of AI-generated content (AIGC). We are delighted to see Bingo Group gain a firm foothold in the AI entertainment sector and successfully complete industrial upgrading and innovative layout.
Ignious Yong, Spokesperson of Bingo Group, expressed great honor to forge this in-depth partnership with Volcano Engine, one of the world’s leading technology companies. As an enterprise focusing on the “AI + Content + IP” track, Bingo Group believes this collaboration will build a long-term and sustainable monetization model for premium IPs, celebrities and content creators. The two companies are currently conducting in-depth discussions on further expanding their AI+IP cooperation. They aim to jointly build a larger and more valuable industrial ecosystem to create greater value and monetization opportunities for the entire entertainment industry. With the support of Mr. Stephen Chow and partners, we hold high expectations for the long-term development of this collaboration.
Starting June 10, 2026, users across the country can experience the AI interactive creation functions based on the three classic film IPs of Stephen Chow. Detailed gameplay rules will be released successively by each cooperating platform. Project organizers invite content creators, film and television practitioners and art enthusiasts to explore new opportunities arising from the integration of AI and classic IPs. Users may follow official updates from each platform for the latest information.

URUMQI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 June 2026 – When the 2026 Taklimakan Rally ended on June 1, GWM had done more than just finish the 2026 Taklimakan Rally. It swept every T2 production title: T2.E New-Energy Manufacturers’Cup, T2.1 Fuel Manufacturers’Cup, T2.3 Club Production Cup.
Across 13 special stages, the GWM TANK 700 Hi4-T took 11 stage wins; GWM club entries took 11. Zero mechanical retirements across the entire factory lineup. GWM delivered a dominant performance across all three categories
Over 17 days, competitors covered 7,500 total kilometers, including 3,400 kilometers of special stages — the longest special-stage distance in the event’s history.
SS3 stretched 468 kilometers, making it the longest single stage in six years. SS5 and SS6, known as the “Devil Double,” have historically seen completion rates fall below 20 percent. SS8, through the Keriya River corridor, demanded precise navigation, where a single wrong turn could cost teams hours. SS9 featured a 353-kilometer crossing of the N39 desert, with soft sand and hidden drop-offs creating constant risks for drivers and vehicles.
While many competitors failed to finish or crossed the line with significant damage, GWM’s lineup delivered consistent performance throughout the rally, turning extreme conditions into a demonstration of strength and reliability.
GWM TANK 700 Hi4-T race cars were modified strictly to FIA international standards, with the original production chassis and body structure left completely untouched, no internal engine components altered, and all core production hardware retained throughout. That is what “production-based” means here: the race car and the showroom car share the same engineering backbone.
Across 13 stages and three categories, GWM completed the 2026 Taklimakan Rally with zero mechanical retirements. It happens because every cooling circuit, every torque vectoring command, every suspension joint is designed for the same extreme durability
This year GWM brought co-creation partners K-MAN and Dongli into a shared garage: shared parts, shared technicians, shared strategy. The result was not just wins — it was a lower barrier for the entire Chinese off-road industry to step up. When suppliers race alongside the manufacturer, everyone learns faster. Lessons from the desert are already feeding back into production development.
World-class drivers including Nicolas Cavigliasso and Pau Navarro raced alongside Chinese champions, trading lines, data, and pit lane experience. That kind of exchange raises the level of every driver and team on the grid.
At the finish line, GWM Vice President Liu Yanzhao draped traditional Atlas silk sashes over returning drivers — a gesture honoring not just the champions, but every mechanic, navigator, and support crew who made the run possible.
From the Taklimakan to global stages. From race cars to showrooms. From champions to the next generation of off‑road enthusiasts. GWM’s clean sweep is not a finish line. It is a starting point. And the message is clear: what survives the desert earns the right to lead the road ahead.
