Toyota, BMW, Bosch and Repsol launch a real-world pilot of vehicles running on 100% renewable gasoline
In Germany, the BMW Group, in collaboration with Toyota Motor Europe (TME), Bosch and Repsol, announces the launch of a six-month pilot project in Spain.
The pilot, which started in early July, will demonstrate the real-world potential of Vehicles running Exclusively on Eligible Fuels (VEEF).
The initiative will deploy a fleet of around 20 Toyota and BMW vehicles, powered by Repsol’s 100% renewable gasoline (Nexa 95), and supported by Bosch’s advanced digital fuel tracking technology, BMW said.
This pilot aims to provide tangible, real-world evidence that Vehicles Exclusively running on Eligible Fuels can be effectively deployed at scale, supporting Europe’s transition to decarbonize mobility through a complementary, technology-neutral approach while leaving no one behind, the company added.
“Technology openness is a key pillar of the BMW Group strategy – at the same time our goal is always to have more environmentally friendly and efficient vehicles on the road. Our vehicles as a part of this future oriented pilot, will help to gain valuable data helping us to offer our global customer the best and most efficient powertrain also in the future,” said Stefan Heller, Head of Development of the VEEF program at BMW Group.
