Euro-2

other

The term 'Евро-2' refers to an outdated fuel standard with significantly higher sulfur and benzene content compared to modern standards like 'Евро-5'. It was banned for sale in Russia since 2013, but in autumn 2025, some refineries were permitted to produce fuel meeting 'Евро-3' standards for the domestic market. The mention of 'Евро-2' is used contextually to contrast with current and proposed fuel regulations.
