Product Description
Automotive Gas Oil, or AGO, is fuel intended for use in road vehicles (trucks,buses, vans and cars) powered by diesel engines. The fuel is obtained in the mid-boiling range from the distillation and processing of crude oil. Related fuels, such as Industrial Gas Oils (IGOs), which are used for non-road applications including off-road diesel engines, are obtained from the same fraction of the crude oil barrel. While Automotive Gas Oil is the technical name used by the oil industry, automotive diesel fuel, or just plain diesel, are the more common and widespread names used by the consumer. Middle Distillates is the generic oil industry name for gasoils, including both AGO and IGO.
AGO is used in two main types of vehicle
heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks and buses
light-duty vehicles, such as vans and passenger
cars
In most countries, including the USA and the developing countries, heavy-duty vehicles make up the main market for AGO. There is a significant light-duty sector in Japan, but demand for AGO from this sector is highest in Europe, where more than one third comes from passenger cars and other light vehicles. Customer requirements differ to some extent between the two types of fuel
usage.
Diesel engines are widely used in heavy-duty vehicles. Such vehicles are frequently operated in fleets and are re-fuelled centrally with fuel delivered direct from the supplier. In the light-duty vehicle sector, recent advances in engine design now also allow light-duty diesel engines to compete with gasoline engines on performance grounds. Lightduty vehicles are generally re-fuelled through retail outlets. Although the emphasis differs, in both sectors the customers will be generally looking for fuel that provides economy, power, reliability and environmental acceptability.
