A Global Strategy to Introduce Low-Sulfur Fuels and Cleaner Diesel Vehicles

Diesel engines power the dominant share of goods movement, construction equipment, and public transport vehicles in the global economy. This strategy presents a roadmap to reduce small particulate and black carbon emissions from the global on-road diesel fleet through the introduction of low-sulfur fuels and cleaner diesel vehicle standards. This can prevent an estimated 500,000 premature deaths per year.
