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: 1.
**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.
2.
**Massive Emission Reduction:** It can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil diesel, over the entire life cycle.
3.
**Diesel-like Performance:** It offers engine performance, consumption, and cold resistance similar to, or even better than, traditional diesel.
4.
**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.
