After extensive field testing of the renewable diesel HVO, Volvo Trucks has approved the fuel for all Euro 5 engines and are preparing certifications for Euro 6. The HVO acts as regular diesel and reduces CO2 emissions between 30 and 90 per cent.
In 2013, Volvo Trucks started a field test together with Renova, DHL Freight and OKQ8 to see how the use of 100% HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils) 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.
