The Engine Manufacturers Association has praised ARCO's efforts in developing a cleaner-burning diesel fuel, well in advance of anticipated regulatory requirements. The new fuel aims specifically at helping reduce soot emissions from urban municipal fleets in Southern California.

This fuel will have a maximum sulfur content of 15 parts per million, while the average sulfur content of diesel fuel currently used in California (CARB Diesel) is almost 10 times greater. In addition, ARCO believes the new fuel, used in combination with after-treatment, will be comparable to, or better than, alternative fuels in reducing emissions levels-resulting in healthier air quality.
