In Australia, Toyota is exploring the use of low-carbon liquid fuels (LCLFs) as part of its multi-pathway approach to decarbonisation, which can help the transition to lower-emission motoring while achieving substantially the same levels of the performance, reliability and range Australians rely on. Toyota and Ampol are currently undergoing a trial using 100 per cent […]
In Germany, Mahle’s range extender electric trucks combine the sustainability of electric drive systems with the flexibility and range of the internal combustion engine. They assist the cost-intensive road transport sector to lower total cost of ownership over the vehicle life cycle and facilitate climate-friendly investments. In addition, range extender BEVs contribute to achieving European […]
In the UK, DP World has bunkered a Svitzer tugboat at the London Gateway with HVO100 for the first time with an eye to expanding the fuel use amongst its tugs that handle some of the largest container ships on the Thames River. Such a switch could cut emissions by 700 metric tons per year, […]
In Norway, VAROPreem is launching Preem Redefine HVO100, a Nordic Swan‑Ecolabelled fuel, in Norway. The fuel meets the Nordic Swan Ecolabel’s stringent requirements for responsibly sourced, traceable, and controlled feedstocks, and mandatory annual documentation of greenhouse‑gas emissions. It is produced from raw materials such as residues from paper pulp production and food industries. It is […]
In Australia, Container Exchange (COEX), the not-for-profit organisation that runs Queensland’s container refund scheme, is partnering with waste management and resource recovery company Cleanaway to reduce carbon emissions when transporting containers for recycling. The 12-month pilot with Cleanaway will see part of the fleet transporting containers across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast […]
In the UK, Mercedes F1 team announced 99% coverage of HVO100 biofuel across our European race and marketing truck logistics in 2025. Marking the latest milestone in our journey towards Net Zero and building on our success from 2024, we have been increasing HVO100 coverage in our internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks across the European […]
In the Netherlands, QTerminals Kramer Rotterdam (QTKR) and Ocean Network Express (Europe) (ONE) have reduced emissions by as much as 500 metric tons of CO₂ in just six months by implementing a biofuel scheme using HVO100 for port shunting operations. This joint initiative marks a significant step forward in QTKR and ONE’s partnership to decarbonize […]
In Lithuania, a team of researchers at Klaipėda University (KU) is conducting comprehensive studies aimed at evaluating whether HVO100 plant-based diesel fuel can be applied in Lithuanian rail transport as a more sustainable alternative to conventional fuel. One of the key advantages of this fuel in the context of decarbonization is that it can be […]
In Germany, Hamburg Fleet is trialling the use of HVO 100 (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), produced by SHELL, in cooperation with its long-standing supplier Friedrich G. Frommann GmbH & Co. KG, on three of its vessels. The HVO 100 used by Hamburg Fleet is made from food waste and is entirely free of palm oil. It […]
In Germany, citing the high cost of electric buses, Northwest Mecklenburg, a district in Germany, has decided to make its existing public transport fleet more sustainable by switching to HVO100 biofuel instead of investing in new electric buses. This pragmatic choice was driven by the steep costs of switching to electric buses, with subsidies covering […]
