The ETC system will be introduced on the 55-kilometre Ho Chi Minh City to Dau Giay section of the route from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho in the Mekong Delta.

The system uses active-type dedicated short-range communication (active DSRC), the standard ETC system specification in Japan. In addition to highway toll collection, the highly scalable system is also capable of providing traffic information.

To support its rapidly expanding economy, Vietnam plans to construct a total of approximately 6,000 kilometres of expressway. It also seeks to mitigate traffic congestion caused by the increasing number of vehicles that are on the nation's roads.
