* Immediate reduction of the DEUTZ fleet's environmental footprint
* Initially for the DEUTZ fleet only - talks with partners already under way
* HVO biofuel compatible with all modern diesel engines - reduction in CO2 of up to 90 percent[1]
This covers the entire DEUTZ fleet in
HVO stands for 'hydrotreated vegetable oil' and is a second-generation biofuel that should not be confused with biodiesel. The renewable, paraffinic biofuel uses renewable raw materials -such as used cooking oil, animal fats and residues from vegetable oil processing. This means that the manufacturing of HVO does not compete with food production.
The switch to HVO will result in an immediate reduction of the DEUTZ fleet's environmental footprint, without the need for expensive and complex retrofitting or replacements. 'This step will help to reduce our scope 1 emissions and brings us closer to our goal of becoming a climate-neutral company by 2050,' says DEUTZ CEO Dr.
'All DEUTZ engines are already approved for use with HVO,' says DEUTZ CTO Dr.
DEUTZ has already started this conversation with its logistics partners, as switching them to HVO would have a positive impact on the
DEUTZ will initially purchase the fuel, which is guaranteed palm-oil free from Finnish company NESTE, which has been developing renewable fuels since 1996. In

By refueling at the new HVO filling station on site DEUTZ immediately reduces the CO2 emissions of its own fleet by up to 90%.
