That's a very good question (but I have no idea).
From what I have heard there will be two grades of diesel, one with higher sulfur content, one with lower.
Both will be available for some time, I understand.

The two tier diesel program started in 1993. On-road N2 is .05 percent sulfur and off-road (agriculture, mining, etc) is .50 percent and is dyed red, which was the old standard for both.
In 2006, all diesel will be reduced to 30 ppm and gasoline will go to 15 ppm. Diesel engines will have to be equipped with catalytic soot burners, and manufacturers are wrestling with how to keep these things cool. Much larger radiators and other equipment will be part of every new big truck in the next two or three years.
