The more than 2,000 diesel engine buses will use diesel oil with a
low content of sulfur, up to the European-prescribed third class
standards, announced Beijing general public transportation
corporation.
According to a spokesman for the China Petro-chemical Corporation,
it will supply Beijing with 10,000 tons of such diesel oil a month
to be used in its buses and long-distance passenger coaches.
The index of the European third class diesel oil is 0.035 with a
90% cut of the tail gas while that of the European second-class
diesel oil is 0.2. In a Beijing plan for the eco-environment
standards, the city will formally practice the European third class
emission standards. So, the European third class standard diesel
oil has a broad prospect for popularization. Beijing Yanshan
Petro-chemical Co. will serial-produce such diesel oil and supply
it to Beijing.
