Renewable fuels are a different way of powering industrial engines – without compromising power or performance. The proven emissions technology and innovations of today lead our customers and us toward net-zero emissions tomorrow.
Volvo Penta approves the use of hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO), neat or blended with conventional diesel, in all of its engines globally, enabling a reduction of fossil CO2 emissions by up to 90%. Volvo Penta engines do not need any type approval or specific certification for HVO usage.
HVO is a paraffinic renewable fuel, also known as “synthetic diesel”, which can be produced from a variety of vegetable and animal sources. It follows the CEN standard, EN15940, for use in diesel engines.
