We’ve been reporting about the introduction of Euro 5 diesel on our shores – required due to tightening emissions regulations in Singapore – and now it’s finally here, with BHPetrol being the first petroleum company in Malaysia to launch the fuel at its station at the Pagoh southbound rest stop in Johor earlier today.
The fully-imported Infiniti Euro 5 Diesel – sold at a regulated price of RM2.30 per litre, 10 sen more than regular Euro 2M diesel – will be offered at this station, as well as the BHPetrol station at the Pagoh northbound rest stop, BHPetrol Tebrau 2 and BHPetrol Pasir Gudang 3, beginning today. Another seven stations in Johor will be outfitted with the new fuel within two weeks.
Euro 5 diesel has a sulphur content of just 10 parts per million (ppm), compared to 500 ppm for current Euro 2M diesel. On top of that, BHPetrol has added a double dose of German additives.
The company says that modern advanced diesel engines using Euro 5 diesel will be able to meet the 40 Hartridge Smoke Units (HSU) emissions standard set by the Singapore National Environmental Agency (NEA) on July 1.
Due to the low price of Euro 5 diesel in our country compared to neighbouring regions – including Singapore – only Malaysian-registered vehicles will be able to be filled with the fuel.
“Our new BHPetrol Infiniti Euro 5 Diesel will be the fuel of choice for advanced diesel engine vehicles that require low sulphur diesel to achieve optimum performance,” said Boustead Petroleum Marketing managing director Tan Kim Thiam. “The introduction of Euro 5 diesel will encourage car companies to introduce vehicles with advanced diesel engines, thus Malaysians will have more choice.”

Thank you Singapore!
Next step:
1. Introduce petrol to every state.
2. Introduce B/C segment economical diesel cars.
I wonder if economical diesel car would have cheaper insurance than sporty petrol cars when the insurance turn risk-base next time?
I heard that the new 308 will be coming with a 1.6 diesel.
Only idiots pump SHELL in believe their petrol is more superior because they fund Ferrari.
What has SHELL done for our nation apart from siphoning all the profits back to Netherlands ?
Pump national oil companies like Petronas or BHP only. At least our money stay here
the heck you talking about bro?
You don’t understand ? Support local industries la
Wee, you must be the idiot he refering to
Only idiots pump PETRO*ASS and believe their petrol is more superior because they fund Mercedes.
What PETRO*ASS has done for our people is giving us substandard fuel derived from junk grade sour crude. Like proton, all the good stuff (high q sweet crude from msian soil) is exported. Thats why there is still no euro 3 nor euro 4 nor euro 5 fuel from them for the Rakyat.
And please skip the stupid excuse like waiting for the refinery in RAPID or at the moon. With billions siphoned from msian soil, its all about the money.
Pump from company like PETRO*ASS and all u contribute is fat PETRO*ASS bonuses and more pollution in this messed up country.
Good for PETRO*ASS (as you call it) to reap more profits by selling the Tapis crude & importing fuel for Malaysian use.
Using the Tapis blend domestically is like putting roses on a pile of shit.
“Using the Tapis blend domestically is like putting roses on a pile of shit.”
Typical Malaysian GLC attitude. Treating Malaysians like no class. So the rakyat is the pile of shit here. So be it. Time to teach these GLCs the proton treatment.
Frankly, I’ll rather support Shell or BHP than Mamak’s company and Mamak’s sons companies.
Obviously you don’t know what you are talking about haha I work for one of the O&G company you mentioned and no it does not work that way in Malaysia. This is a result of talking without substance. Do your research first, boy!
Oh and a few other things “mr-know-it-all”…
– first off BHP is not a local company
– other company who is selling fuels in Malaysia pays royalty to Petronas and obviously it have been channeled back to the rakyat lol
– shell is a technical partner with Ferrari, Ferrari is owned by the Fiat Group and they are one of the most valuable brands globally
So, can u be more stupid? And shallow? And annoying? Your name is quite self-explanatory haha
And … Petronas belong to who ????
BHP is not a local company? Isnt BHP belongs to Boustead which own by LTAT…Can you explain your statement
I think you will never see open burning in Singapore.
But Malaysia, my neighbour tiap tiap hari bakar. Raining also can bakar in their compound, salute them.
My kids daily come back say school teacher said our globe is fever, and says lots of ways to save the environment and much more. They have concern to greener environment since young age.
I think in Sekolah kebangsaan, they never highlight the hazard of open burning or save the environment. When kids see their parent tiap tiap hari bakar, you think they will think that is wrong? Sure they will follow.
Hope government will put more effort in saving the environment. It is getting hotter day by day. Help Malaysia.
Well, you probably use more electricity than him. And most of our electricity is generated via burning fossil fuel such as gas, not from hydro dams.
You also ‘bakar’, just indirectly. So, STFU! go live in a jungle and then complain about the environment, or else, don’t drive and use electricity.
One is burning for electricity and under control. Another one is burning for nothing and inside residential area. You compare the wrong things. You are the one who should STFU!
I am not surprised to see malaysia has such people that do assumption and start to shoot vulgar words without any proof or evidence. That’s why they like ISA, to arrest or detain someone without evidence.
Well, other people had answer for me. Thanks.
U mad because he is refering to your kind? Well, its true that ur kind always open burn. One time i ask, uncle, nape nak bakar? Skrng udara dah sgt tercemar. Uncle said takpe dik, kerajaan akan uruskan masalah tu. Ku peduli ape? I was like What The Fuck? Ur kind…… Ur kind….
My neighbour a Dato and lawyer, still do open burning. Just can’t understand what in their brain.
Can’t see any reason why BHP couldn’t do the same to the whole station in Malaysia.. Does the Singaporen lungs is much more valuable than ours??
Terima kasih, Singapore.
“The introduction of Euro 5 diesel will encourage car companies to introduce vehicles with advanced diesel engines, thus Malaysians will have more choice.”
Lol…he must be joking. So every advanced diesel engined car introduced in Malaysia needs to go to Johor to refuel, is that it? Any plans to make Euro5 diesel available across the whole nation?
It’s a first step. Next surely will happen to the rest of the nation. Just wait.
If they do have concrete plans to bring it in for the rest of Malaysia, they would have gladly announced it. As it stands, their silence just means that nothing will be sure to happen after they upgrade the other 7 petrol stations with Euro5 Diesel. Furthermore, this is a fully imported diesel so it should come at extra cost. Also, BHPetrol isn’t available throughout the whole of Malaysia. They’re entirely absent in some East Malaysian areas.
Then what about upgrading our locally refined fuels?
Malaysia’s existing plans are still ongoing, I believe. From Petronas’ side, a Petronas plant that will be able to refine crude to Euro4M standard should come online in the year 2017. I have a hunch that it will be postponed to an even later date based on the current running track record. Other fuel giants like Shell have yet to announce their own plans.
add-on
*who would bear the burden of the extra cost? Is it actually just RM0.10 more expensive per liter than our Euro2M diesel? Is it in any way subsidized by the g? If it is, I don’t see a case for them to bring the Euro5 diesel to any where else in Malaysia that doesn’t absolutely need cleaner diesel.
Hope they move up north soon. Then car makers won’t have an excuse not to intro their turbo diesel powered sedans.
“The introduction of Euro 5 diesel will encourage car companies to introduce vehicles with advanced diesel engines, thus Malaysians will have more choice.”
You don’t say. The vehicles are here already, only to be modified to tolerate our Euro 2M. We should push for Euro 5 standard across the board, not just in Johor. What’s the hold up?
government stop Singapore car from filling 95 due to subsidies price. now we introduce Euro 5 becoz of Singapore regulations??? bravo~~~
kesian. 2015 only can buy euro5 diesel. and only at johor.
i mean near 2015.
and only in some stations where there is a long long queue of lorries and trucks waiting for their turn to refuel.
Is a good initial move for us, just wondering why it can’t bring Euro5 to nationwide?
intro in KL la…
No problem … u can order we will deliver @RM2.50/L !!!! Haaaaa … Haaaa… Malaysia BOLEH Land
This is fantastic! From this hopefully will spur other petroleum distribution companies to market euro 5 fuel be it diesel or petrol so our environment will be less polluted.
Tebal betul muka.
Good.
Now pls make it nationwide.
I will buy a diesel then.
thank you bhp
The reason Euro 5 diesel being introduced by BHP is actually meant for lorries, buses and vehicles which go and fro to Singapore.
I’m Johorean, sometimes when I went to SG, I did saw a bunch of lorries and buses(even new ones!) being fined by SG’s National Environment Agency(NEA) for filthy and black smoke. I was told that if they didn’t pay their fines, they won’t be able to exit SG and yeah, I’m not sure if it’s true or not.
I think those lorry and bus drivers that go in and out from SG will appreciate for what BHP had done.

So happy the tebrau station just behind my house wowowowowowww
may I know where is this BHP exactly located. ? thx
Asap putih dinegara orang,
Asap hitam dinegara sendiri.
Ya, all petrol station please. This also helps to protect our environment, cleaner emission.
Thank you Singapore!
Wonder how great demand on Euro5 diesel will be for passenger car segment?
any sub-RM100k diesel passenger car might intro in Msia?
prove that if u want anything done in this country , ask singapore !
My VNT hilux is waiting in KL to drink the high energy fuel…….faster come to KL! By the way, my car is getting less power no ever since B7 biodiesel introduce to diesel. Have they implemented ? or is it my physiology?
Also my friends say, if want to pump diesel got to BHP diesel because it is imported from Singapore.. Any different ? because most of the time i pump shell diesel.
BHP has always said their fuels are imported from oveseas
don’t get it wrong bro, the technology imported.
They play play with the language laaaaa.
Design in Germany but produce & process in illegal factory at kg baru Sg. Buloh.
surely BMW 320D going to sell like a hotcake for the introduction of euro 5 .
RM 2.30 is real cheap , thank you government , Malaysia boleh
Dont thank local. Thank Singaporean Government. Our local G still thinking how to korek from rakyat with Euro 5..
Any subsidy given for this Euro5 Diesel?
If there is subsidy, means singaporeans will get subsidy too.
If there is no subsidy , why the price is only 10cent extra from normal diesel which is already being subsidized?
Only Malaysian registered vehicles can refuel with this diesel. It’s in the article.
BHP station? why can we not see any stations in Sabah? why not shell, esso and even petronas?
aiyyooo… why give u all premium fuel when they can sell u normal fuel at 10 cents difference?
Make sure this subsidized cleaner diesel not offered to the Singaporeans.
2. Should extend to other capital cities as well
Well…. if they can really bring Euro5 to the stations in KL and around Malaysia, at THAT price, I’ll be willing sell all of my cars and change to diesel.
And it would make sense for BMW’s bigger diesel engines to start coming in… Mmm….. 535d…..
Its supposed to be for lorries and trucks going in and out of Singapore for trading but in the pictures I see a BMW instead?
bring in vw bluemotion range
VW kaki workshop lar bro…
as a VW owner less than one year.
rattle dash, humming fuel pump, broken tensioner, judder DSG…
really dissapointed to VW
which VW model you are using? Have u brought it to SC and what is the status?
suspecting you r currently bull shiting
Tq Singkapo. Now there’s new hope for mazda2 1.5 diesel.
Or a Honda 1.6 i-Dtec.
A BIG FAT “THank Q” to singpore gov…
You guys are hilarious. Thanking Singapore, thanking our government.
There will be no euro 5 diesel coming to the other states. Please go back to your B7 biodiesel. It’s just been launched and that will be the blueprint our government has implemented.
Quickly la put Euro5 on sale nationwide. I can’t stand to hear the ‘lori ikan’ engine idle from a modern diesel powered car anymore..
Sabah and Sarawak really need this because they have many Diesel truck but sadly it only available at Johor :(
See, small company like BHP is more than willing to provide efficient fuel. What are you doing Petronas & Shell?
Only idiots pump SHELL in believe their petrol is more superior because they fund Ferrari.
What has SHELL done for our nation apart from siphoning all the profits back to Netherlands ?
Pump Petronas or BHP only. At least our money stay here
later sg cars also confirm can pump one la
Malaysian r thanking Singapore government for Euro5 diesel!!!!!!! OMG
:-p
I am aware the Euro5 Diesel is far more expensive than Euro2M. For the same reason, Malaysian refineries delayed the upgrading of their facilities. I wonder whats the calculated ‘damages’ the Government had to bear for the additional imported Euro5 Diesel subsidy? anyone knows?
Bring this into Sarawak & Sabah. So many trucks around.
this euro 5 diesel is obviously being subsidized by the government. with the current trend of the government reducing fuel subsidy, you guys must be dreaming it will launch nationwide.
Please correct me if i’m wrong.
isn’t that Boustead Petroleum is one of the Government Link Company?
which means the possibility of implementation whole nation wide is possible in the near future?
wow, demand for diesel engine vehicle in Johor will go up soon….
I read about an alternative technology, Water in Diesel Emulsion (WiDE), widely used in Europe, especially Italy, that significantly cuts down Particulate Matters and NOx emissions from Diesel Vehicles. This could be a cheaper alternative for Singapore bound trucks. http://legacy.london.gov.uk/mayor/environment/air_quality/docs/fleet_op/reduction.pdf
Biasalah Malaysian government. Kera di hutan disusukan, anak sendiri kebuluran.
By the time we get Euro 5 petrol and diesel nationwide, the rest of the ‘civilised’ world would probably be well into Euro 7 or 8.
The introduction of EURO 5 petrol in a way, can proudly tell our neighbor countries that We do HAVE EURO 5 Petrol too! with a small note*: only available at 7 BHP Petrol Station ;)
I am X6 35d owner, after change to bhp diesel now i don’t have to facing Diesel Particular Filter Problem anymore.
I hope bhp can introduce euro 5 diesel to klang vally as soon as possible.
i think all high performance diesel car owner will come to u.
hope to hear from ur good news soon. cheers.
Hi, you mentioned that “I am X6 35d owner, after change to bhp diesel now i don’t have to facing Diesel Particular Filter Problem anymore.” are you talking about BHP Infinity Diesel which available nationwide in BHP petrol kiosk ? I own a diesel car and now searching for the best diesel in Malaysia for my car usage. Thank you.
with da current drop in world oil prices i doubt our gov is subsidizing the price for this euro5, they’re just earning big bucks from the euro2m diesel and ron95 petrol…
Is Infiniti euro% diesiel also available in Kuala Lumpur area ?
Is Infiniti EURO% Diesel available also in KL area ? If not by when ?
