PSO continues to lead the fuel revolution in Pakistan by becoming the first Oil Marketing Company (OMC) to upgrade Pakistan’s diesel fuel standard from Euro 2 to Euro 5. The Company has recently launched its Euro 5 standard high speed diesel under the brand name “PSO Hi-Cetane Diesel Euro 5”.
The Government of Pakistan (GOP) mandated the import of Euro 5 standard compliant high speed diesel from January 2021. As a proactive and forward-thinking company, PSO imported the first shipment of Euro 5 standard diesel on December 23, 2020 making PSO Hi-Cetane Diesel Euro 5 available at PSO retail outlets in Karachi well ahead of the timeline specified by the GOP.
PSO Hi-Cetane Diesel Euro 5 was formally launched by CEO & MD, PSO, Syed Muhammad Taha during a ceremony held at PSO Burraque Service Station, Karachi. Key business partners, valued clients and senior PSO officials were present at the occasion to celebrate this significant milestone for the country and company.
PSO’s new Euro 5 diesel is a high performing, cleaner fuel in which sulfur content has been reduced by a staggering 98% – from 500 ppm to 10 ppm. The cetane rating of diesel is similar to the octane number of motor gasoline. .
