A process is provided for producing low sulfur diesel by hydrotreatment of suitable feed in the presence of a bulk metal catalyst. The feed is exposed under effective hydrotreating conditions to a catalyst including at least one Group VI metal, at least one Group VIII metal, and Niobium. Treatment of the feed results in production of a liquid diesel product, which is separated from a gas phase product that is also produced during the hydrotreatment.
