In addition, he stressed that the OEMs had warned that the maxi- mum an engine could accept was B7 and they needed more data and studies on B10. The OEMs also stated that their engine warranty did not cover vehicles that ran on B10.
B7 refers to a blend of 7 per cent palm methyl ester (PME) and 93 per cent die- sel, while B10 is a blend of 10 per cent PME and 90 per cent petroleum diesel.
“Biodiesel releases more nitrogen dioxide that is not only harmful to the environ- ment but also humans,” Tan added.
AMH President Nazari Akhbar said the impact of B10 on the trucks would not be seen immediately but 3 to 4 years down the road when one would notice the higher maintenance costs. He also revealed that the Association only had a meeting with the Malaysian Palm Oil Board once in June. Though it was told that there would be another meeting for further discussions, there had been no news since then.
The association members represent 70 per cent of hauliers in the country who own some 13,000 trucks.
Also present at the press conference were truck manufacturers Scania, MAN and Volvo, who were supporting the associations’ call for the government to conduct more studies on B10 before rolling it out to the market.
他强调说，商用车原设备制造商已提出警 告说，B7生物柴油已经是一台引擎能够接 纳的最大限度，他们需要更多有关的B10 的数据和研究。商用车原设备制造商也表 示，他们的引擎保修不包括采用B10生物柴 油的车子。
B7混合了7%的棕油甲酯(PME)和93%的 柴油，而B10则是10%的棕油甲酯和90%的 柴油。
“生物柴油释放更多的二氧化碳，对环境 和人类 都有害。”他补充说。
马来西亚运输公会纳扎里(Nazari Akh- bar)说，B10 对卡车的影响不会马上就能 察觉到，然而3至4年下来就可从较高的维 修费用里看出端倪。他也透露说，该公会 只是在去年6月间与马来西亚棕油局开过一 次会。虽然当时马来西亚棕油局曾说过会 再召开另一次会议深入讨论这个问题，但 之后却没了下文。
马来西亚运输公会的会员代表着我国70%的 运输业者，拥有大约13，000 辆卡车。
出席该记者会的还包括卡车制造商如斯堪 尼亚、曼及富豪，他们支持两家公会要求 政府在推出B10之前，对该生物柴油做进一 步研究的呼吁。
