During the launch of the improved BHPetrol Infiniti Diesel Euro 5 and Euro 2M, we asked the senior management of the company on the progress of Euro 2M B10 biodiesel implementation in the country.
According to company managing director KT Tan, the consultation process on the matter is still ongoing between the government, fuel suppliers and other relevant parties. Should the government mandate the sale of Euro 2M-grade B10 biodiesel (10% palm oil blend), BHPetrol will abide by its decision.
However, he stated that the Euro 5-grade diesel sold at BHPetrol stations will continue to employ the B7 biodiesel blend (7% palm oil blend). This echoes the same sentiment, which we reported on back in July this year.
Several organisations have voiced their support for the implementation of B10 biodiesel in the country, while others caution that the use of the blend could result in technical issues in diesel vehicles.
Several carmakers have also revealed that the usage of B10 in its diesel vehicles could result in a void of warranty. On the issue of warranty, the Malaysian Automotive Association has no issues with the implementation of B10 biodiesel, but only if its principals are able to provide warranty for their vehicles.

B7 Great news! Gonna reserve Mazda6 2.2D right away^^
eventually Euro 5 will be B10 la. aiyo paultan writers use your brain a bit
No, even if B10 gets implemented, Euro 5 diesel will stick to a maximum of B7 blend.
ni org hutan yg x baca berita tiap2 hari. Menteri2 dah ckp, B7 akan masih ade walaopun B10 dilancarkan. Consumer choice nnt. paham?
hopefully it stays that way. you never know when they decide to flip this decision once MPOB realizes a growing market share of Euro5 diesel users
abang teropong ni pandai.
once euro 5 gets popular, the volume of it will justify a swtich to b10.
Hafriz you remember today wht you say ya :D
Hafriz, that’s not what it says in your report.
“Should the government mandate the sale of B10 biodiesel (10% palm oil blend, BHPetrol will abide by its decision).”
‘abide by its decision’ means to accept the government’s decision. The word ‘abide’ means to accept and act according to the law, an agreement, etc – Oxford dic.
Unfortunately paultan has erroneously interpreted the sentence to mean that BHP will stick to B7 even if B10 is implemented. It’s not what the common understanding of the language says.
Read the next paragraph, mate.
The next paragraph merely states that BHP will continue to use B7 for Euro 5 pending the govt’s decision.
I seriously doubt BHP has any leeway once the govt mandates B10.
Please seek clarification from BHP. Their statement is subject to different interpretation.
Thank you BHP for once again leading the diesel fuel market. You are the most valuable player to first make this announcement.
First to implement euro 5 in all klang valley and now first to announce euro 5 remains at B7.
That’s the progressive strategy that we need.
Our gov should only implement B10 after discussing with the relevant cars manufacturer. Please do not put the cart B4 the horse.
Before implement B10, gov should make sure old vehicle on the road compliance with B10 otherwise these old diesel engine KOYAK teruk!
