Malaysia to use Euro 5 petrol in September 2025 – Minister
Starting September 2025, Malaysians will be able to enjoy the use of Euro 5 petrol, with full specifications expected to be achieved by 2027, according to Sinar Harian.
This announcement was made by the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, during an event held on the Shah Alam Expressway yesterday (November 13).
According to him, this implementation aligns with the Environmental Quality Regulations (Control of Fuel Content for Petrol and Diesel) 2007.
“As such, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRES) and the Department of Environment (DOE) will work closely with the industry to ensure a smooth transition.
He further stated that the use of Euro 5 will encourage the Malaysian automotive industry to enhance vehicle technology, including for commercial and heavy-duty vehicles.
He explained that vehicles with Euro 5 emission technology will operate more efficiently and produce cleaner emissions, thereby positively impacting the air quality in the country.
“Previously, the country took proactive steps to address air pollution issues by introducing Euro 5 diesel fuel since April 2021, and it has since achieved full specifications by April 2023.”
