The overall goal has been to reduce the sulphur content of diesel fuel. Sulphur had been used as a lubricant in the fuel. Its role is taken by special additives in ULSD. With each of its revisions, the EN **0 had been adapted to lower the sulphur content of diesel fuel Since ***7, diesel that conforms to EN**0 has been referred to as Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD) in the European Union.
