Higher quality petrol is just around the corner. Petronas will be rolling out Euro 4 petrol this September, company CEO and president Datuk Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin announced at Petronas Dagangan Berhad’s annual general meeting today. The new Euro 4M product has an octane rating of RON 97.
“We are preparing to roll out Euro 4M RON 97 nationwide in September this year,” Wan Zulkiflee told reporters after the AGM. He declined to comment when asked about the new product’s price.
In November last year, MITI said that oil companies can start selling Euro 4 and Euro 5 fuels in Malaysia earlier than the gazetted dates, which are Euro 4 RON 97 in September 2015, Euro 4 RON 95 in October 2018, Euro 5 diesel in September 2020, Euro 5 RON 95 and RON 97 in September 2025.
BHPetrol has already heeded the call by introducing Euro 5 diesel in limited areas late last year, but this move by a major player, and with petrol, is more significant; should there be a domino effect, Malaysian motorists and the environment will benefit.
Car companies and the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) umbrella body have long called for better quality fuel for them to be able to bring in the engines with the latest technology. The fuel currently sold in Malaysia is of Euro 2 standards.
It is understood that Petronas’ Pengerang facility that will produce Euro 4 gasoline is only set to be ready in a few years time, so is this a case of the company importing in stock? In any case, it’s good news.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I doubt that it will be launched on September knowing that Malaysians is alway slow in everything
You Lanun company go to back to MarcosLand lah.
Wahai bodoh Petronas and kerajaan, intro Euro 4 diesel first. This is the one clogging our air. All the bus companies including the famous Metrobus emits thick black smoke in KL. The lorries all emit thick back smoke.
But nobody can touch these compaanies as they are all UMNO owned.
So, please at least intro clean diesel first for the sake our our environment, the fumes are killing people in Malaysia.
Our hospitals are full to the max. Most because of respiratory illness caused by the poisonous fumes. In EU, Euro 2 diesel is completely banned because they say it is as poisonous as drinking Roundup straight. Ours is Euro 2M, even lower than Euro 2.
Please for the sake of the rakyat, make clean petrol and diesel available now itself. 2020 for diesel is a sin.
For the minister and Petronas management, we breath in Metrobus smoke while they sit comfortably in their S class everyday.
We join the long queue in government hospital while they go Singapore/Australia/US hospitals.
We rakyat just their milk cow to squeeze money (e.g. GST). Before they fall, all Malaysians have to fall.
Besides their S class, our Petronas petrol is like kencing, smelly and no quality
Besides the S class and Petronas fuel, this imitator talk non sense.
Real Same L0rrrr will never despise of kampung and low income people.
Poor? Get a Myvi (Toyota engine), reliable also.
Rich? Get a Lexus, luxury also.
Real Same L0rrrr has no discrimination on people but only on junk class car quality and RV-less car.
Thick black smoke aren’t caused by the lower quality diesel. It is by the irresponsible lorry owner themselves by not servicing their bloody lorries.
Keyword: Euro4″M”
Malaysia’s interpretation of “Euro4” standard.

In September, Malaysians are, alwayS. Sigh
Euro 4 RON 97 in September 2015, Euro 4 RON 95 in October 2018, Euro 5 diesel in September 2020, Euro 5 RON 95 and RON 97 in September 2025.
And people would be on Euro 6/7/8/9 by the time we have Euro 5. Are they even serious about this…
they should skip Euro 5 and go ahead with the next ready standard at that point of time
Yah, maybe sudah pakai electric by that time. They always think the world will wait them like snails.
Harga petrol skrg pon malaysian bising.. lagi mau euro 6..7..8..9… ermm nti bising la sbb mahal
Yes MITI also must change the car excise duty based on CO2 emission and not using engine CC liters.
It can reduce car price (for smaller, fuel efficient cars) but govt can still collect even more taxes on those bigger cars.
Agree?
CO2 emission, fuel tax, vehicle weight, vehicle price…. anything but the stupid cc-based road tax.
Those selling poor fuel efficient cars will suffer low sales and might close shop. (Eg.Proton)
That’s why Proton should use Toyota engine, just like Lotus.
If i’m not mistaken Vios is only Euro3 compliant
p1’s CFE is already Euro5 lor
Proton mmg suda ada enjin yg bagus … ke awak yg x tahu..krik..krik..krik
start with the ancient road tax system based on cc….
They don’t want to do that because later Proton gg..
Bingo! Finally the mystery solved.
Nice try but wrong answer
Hello noobs, CFE is already Euro5 compliant engine, your junk Vios not even reach Euro 3
Lololololololol
Honda City emission is Euro 2. Add that to your joke list okay.
So tell me whats the percentage of Proton cars with CFE engine. Majority of the Proton cars on the road are old Saga, Wira & Waja. All with appalling emissions
Older Proton runs on old Mitsubishi engines. Even earlier Waja also uses ancient Mitsubishi engine. Gearbox also from them.
You should ask Mitsubishi.
Forget about environment, safety is more important with VSC. Saga is derived from savvy, of course none but why new Vios dun have VSC? After generations?
Wrong. They should tax one flat rate for all cars. Why need double standards? If want to tax big cars more then also have a special place in cinemas for poor ppl to sit. and have special place in restaurants where only rich ppl can sit. Hows that?
Anak tiri2 bila mendapat diesel negara maju?
Why? Why Ron 97?
So that we get to pay more GST?
paul.sabah here got biodiesel already..
sabah skg baru dapat biodiesel ke ???? banyok lama ooii.. semenajung dah dapat semasa anak umur 5 i lahir…. FYI, Biodiesel tu lain dgn RON 4 ke 5…biodiesel hanya campuran diesel biasa dgn minyak kelapa sawit je..
It’s RON97.. if Pertonas put Euro 4 RON95 on sale this September, yes it will put other oil co on real pressure
Weird that u guys still talking about euro 4. I ve been using euro 5 on my saga since few years back. So slow aar u guys?
Stay in JB get Euro 5, so u bangga la?
Why not? if he’s a Bangla driving a saga.
Currently at Euro 2M not Euro 2
Euro 5 Diesel please at all Petronas pumps, will give Shell and BHP a run though!
BMW X5 M50d can finally be a reality in Malaysia!
Yeah been waiting for ages.
Volvo Drive-E, fark yeaaaaah
2025 for Euro 5, damn..I’m not even sure I still alive to see those day !
Notice how they plan it around 5 years each stage. Purely for election ploy.
“Vote us if you want clean fuel”
Eleh bhp already euro 3 minimum
Whatever no money use Euro 10
Whatever no money use Euro 95 or Bio Esso
So frustrating to see they are still implementing things at third world’s country speed (Or worse). It’s funny to see 2020, our country’s vision to be a developed country but still using Euro 4. When the implementing this, environment issues is definitely not their top priority but the how their oil industry will be affected!
By the time 2025, I believe other developed nations already have electrical pump station (duno what’s it calls exactly) at most parts in the country already.. Haiz, malaysia, malaysia….
Maybe that time electric cars are common daily use that compete on how fast the recharging and who can offer the best mileage (eg. 2,000km per charge, @5 minutes recharge).
So who knows, maybe Proton can produce it at Bangladesh factory too. :D
To quote someone, “They are at least trying to improve for the rakyat, so let’s keep this a car blog only. No politics here please”
Whoever downvotes this, is a hypocrite. I dare you.
I hope BHP can upstage them by introducing proper euro 4 petrol even earlier.
All euro 5 fuel by 2025? This is taking too long. Europe is currently at euro 6. 7 years ago it was euro 5. Judging by the rate of regulations, by 2025 it will be at least euro 8. We will still be generations behind, our cars are still banned from being sold in europe and their high tech and super clean cars will still not be eligible to be sold here.
We need to make the changes sooner to catch up especially at an era where fuel subsidies no longer exists.
Previously the justification was the government are subsidising the fuel so its not prudent to spend more for extra filtration for clean fuel. Now we are at the age where the government are charging tax and eliminating subsidies on our fuel purchases so why are we still following these archaic framework?
I don’t understand. Why isn’t BHP introducing the Euro 4 RON 95 and 97 petrol first? Then they can have a head start over Petronas. I am a BHP user because I believe their fuel is comparatively cleaner.
when you launch euro 4 ron 95 on year 2018, other country is using euro 6.
Apa lagi Rakyat mahu? cukurlah ada euro 2 sdh.
tak suka keluar la malaysia
