Volvo Trucks certify the Synthetic Diesel HVO for all engines
-- After extensive field testing of the renewable synthetic diesel HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils), Volvo Trucks has approved the fuel for all its Euro-5 engines and are preparing certifications for Euro-6. The HVO performed the same as regular diesel, but reduced CO2 emissions between 30 and 90 per cent, well-to-wheel... In 2013, Volvo Trucks started field tests in Sweden together with Renova, DHL Freight and OKQ8 to see how the use of 100% HVO affected engine performance and components. The six field test trucks were equipped with Euro-5 engines and covered approximately one million kilometres in commercial service over a two-year period... HVO is a synthetic diesel and is produced from renewable raw materials such as vegetable and animal fats, from rapeseed oil or abattoir waste, for example. The fuel can be distributed via existing diesel depots and uses the same type of tanks and pumps as regular diesel. HVO reduces CO2 emissions between 30 and 90 per cent well-to-wheel, depending on the raw material...
