About EN590

EN590 is a premium-grade diesel fuel standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The specification ensures:

• Low sulfur emissions
• Better engine efficiency
• Cleaner combustion
• Compatibility with modern diesel engines
• Environmental compliance

The fuel is designed for:

• Passenger vehicles
• Trucks
• Buses
• Marine support equipment
• Industrial machinery
• Diesel generators

EN590 diesel normally contains:

• Maximum sulfur content: 10 ppm
• Cetane number: minimum 51
• Controlled viscosity and density
• Improved lubricity
• Biodiesel blend allowance up to 7% FAME in many regions
