Biofuel
A biofuel is a fuel produced from renewable organic materials (biomass), such as vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste. For fleets, HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is the most popular.
What are the advantages of HVO biofuel for a truck fleet?
HVO (sometimes called 'renewable diesel') is a very attractive transition solution for heavy-duty fleets for several reasons:
What HVO brings
- Direct Compatibility: It is a 'drop-in' fuel, meaning it can be used in most modern diesel engines without any modification, either pure or blended with diesel.
- Massive Emission Reduction: It can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil diesel, over the entire life cycle.
- Diesel-like Performance: It offers engine performance, consumption, and cold resistance similar to, or even better than, traditional diesel.
- Immediate Availability: It allows for instant decarbonization of a fleet, without waiting for suitable electric or hydrogen trucks and without heavy investments in new infrastructure.
