What is HVO?

  • HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils) is the second generation developed diesel fuel
  • It is mainly composed of vegetable oils and waste fats
  • HVO fuel is 100% recyclable, biodegradable and non-toxic
  • Unlike previous bio-fuels, the new generation of HVO fuel is independant of agricultural and food-related production

Ensure HVO diesel complies with EN15940 standard.


Your benefits when using HVO fuel

  • Your excavator can be used in emission-free operations
  • HVO fuel can be mixed with conventional fuel
  • HVO fuel reduces CO2 emissions by 90% compared to conventional diesel fuel
  • Combustion of HVO fuel results in:
    • Reduction NOx (Nitrogen oxide)
    • Reduction of PM (fine dust)
    • Reduction of CO2 (Carbon dioxide)
    • No SOx (Sulphur oxides)
  • HVO can be stored for a period of 10 years, diesel values decrease after 1 year of storage
