Facts and figures
Here you will find current information:
Cetane numbers
The higher cetane number of HVO leads to significantly more efficient combustion compared to fossil diesel. Despite the lower density, there is no additional consumption in practice compared to fossil diesel.
Pollutants
In contrast to fossil diesel, HVO is practically free of sulphur and aromatics. This means that almost no nitrogen oxides and soot particles are produced during combustion. This leads to improved air quality and less pollution for people and the environment.
Frequently asked questions:
Does HVO develop a typical diesel odor?
No. HVO is largely odorless in liquid and gaseous form.
Is every diesel engine suitable for operation with HVO?
In principle, operation is possible. However, to be absolutely sure, it is advisable to consult the vehicle manufacturer or supplier. You can find more information on this website.
