What are the benefits of using Caltex Euro V diesel?
Caltexs Environmental Diesel (Euro V) is more environmentally friendly than the previous ultra low sulphur diesel in the sense that its sulphur content is down from 0.005% to no higher than 0.001% (i.e. 50 part per million (ppm) to no more than 10ppm). According to Environmental Protection Department (EPD), a small portion of the sulphur dioxide in diesel vehicle exhaust will form sulphates, which are in the form of particles. So, the reduction of sulphur content in motor vehicle diesel will reduce the emission of particulates. EPD estimates, replacing ULSD with Euro V diesel as fuel can reduce the particulate emissions (in terms of sulphates) of existing diesel vehicles by 5%. According to EPD, Euro V diesel has 80% less sulphur content than ultra-low sulphur diesel. Using Euro V diesel could reduce their sulphur dioxide (SO2) and particulates emission by 80% and 5% respectively. Should Euro V diesel vehicles be fueled with Euro V diesel, they will emit 30% to 40% less nitrogen oxides
