I am glad that Euro5 fuel is being imported. I got really unwell last year because of the diesel exhaust fume in Pakistan.

Some people have their brains in the bottoms so what happens is that whetgwr they are sitting or walking they can't think straight. Hence there is always an o jection and doom and gloom on any positive step the government takes. They have to come up with appalling questions and unfounded criticism

I thought they have been introduced. But for diesel DPF or AdBlue should be made mandatory.

What benefit does Euro 5 brings?

Better quality fuel
Less knocking
Engine last longer
More mileage

If its really 97 RON petrol than that is great.

Euro-V fuel to help reduce pollution in Pakistan

New product range brings Pakistan’s fuel on par with global standards

August 19, 2020


ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan is keen on addressing the challenges related to climate change and the introduction of Euro-V standard fuel in a short span of time shows the government’s commitment to reduce air pollution for a clean environment, said Petroleum Minister Omar Ayub Khan.

At an event organised by Pakistan State Oil (PSO) to mark the upgrading of Pakistan’s fuel standard to Euro-V, the minister termed it the need of the hour to adopt upgraded fuel standards that would reduce the negative impact on environment and help the country move towards a sustainable future.

“Improvement in fuel quality will ultimately benefit the consumer and help create a cleaner environment with reduced pollution,” he said.

Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Petroleum Nadeem Babar, who was also present at the ceremony, stressed that Pakistan was heading in the right direction after having taken key steps to overcome the challenges posed by climate change.

“Upgrading fuel standards is a major step towards a cleaner and greener Pakistan,” he said. “We owe it to our future generations to bequeath to them a planet worth living in.”

Expressing his views, PSO CEO and Managing Director Syed Muhammad Taha said the new product range brought Pakistan’s fuel on a par with international standard fuels.

He added that the Euro-V standard fuels significantly reduced emissions and contributed to a healthy environment for future generations.

Euro-V standard fuels minimise the negative impact on environment owing to reduction in sulphur and benzene content by a staggering 98% and 80% respectively. This, in turn, reduces harmful vehicle emissions, resulting in health benefits and improvement in engine performance.

The reduction in benzene content will significantly improve the occupational health of industry workers, who are involved in product handling.
