That's good news for drivers in Singapore!Originally posted by sbst275:anyway, pump prices going down
Over here, prices have also moderated a bit, from over US$3.00 a couple of weeks back, to about US$2.53 today. What's amazing is the oil companies did not engage in price gouging over the just-concluded Labor Day long weekend.
Perhaps they're already happy with their billions in net profits from the previous quarter.... -
But today's ST, now diesel truck distributors are not happy
Cos there's abt 2,000 Euro2/ Euro3 vehicles is still at the wharehouse... But by Oct 1, all new vehicles registered has to be Euro-4 standard -
What's a EuroX standard? Is it related to fuel efficiency and/or emissions?Originally posted by sbst275:But today's ST, now diesel truck distributors are not happy

It's emission stdOriginally posted by Meia Gisborn:What's a EuroX standard? Is it related to fuel efficiency and/or emissions? -
So when the Euro4 standard takes effect in Singapore on Oct. 1, what are the distributors going to do with all those diesel trucks that aren't compliant? Ship them to other countries which don't have the same standards, perhaps?Originally posted by sbst275:It's emission std -
YeahOriginally posted by Meia Gisborn:So when the Euro4 standard takes effect in Singapore on Oct. 1, what are the distributors going to do with all those diesel trucks that aren't compliant? Ship them to other countries which don't have the same standards, perhaps?
So now comes to the shipping cost, and even so, maybe like Malaysia, they wun take in those models found in SG, either due to model diff or this manufacturer dun have distribution in Malaysia -
yeah.. probably to malaysia or thailand or vietnam or something..
gotta cut the losses somehow -
I wonder how difficult it would be to retrofit the noncompliant vehicles with equipment that will make them compliant with the new standard.Originally posted by sbst275:Yeah

This one I've no ideaOriginally posted by Meia Gisborn:I wonder how difficult it would be to retrofit the noncompliant vehicles with equipment that will make them compliant with the new standard.
But Euro4 std, also means costlier diesel in future -
doesn't diesel burn completely into carbon dioxide and water?
that's the theory -
How so? Does the new standard also call for changes to the refinement process for diesel fuel?Originally posted by sbst275:This one I've no idea

The Euro1, 2, 3, 4 diff gotta do with the exhust emission as wellOriginally posted by the Bear:doesn't diesel burn completely into carbon dioxide and water?
that's the theory -
The newer diesel has to be of a low suplhur gradeOriginally posted by Meia Gisborn:How so? Does the new standard also call for changes to the refinement process for diesel fuel? -
