One important technology that is already available on the market is the use of HVO diesel. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils (HVO) is a renewable fuel that can be produced from waste, fats, vegetable residues and vegetable oils. HVO can be used in diesel engines without technical conversion. According to the manufacturer, this 100% bio fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% compared to regular diesel fuels.
This option is currently available to our drivers at the OMV stations in St. Valentin, Vomp & Villach as well as EuroTruck Wals and Unterer Kundl. A comprehensive expansion of HVO 100 Diesel at OMV locations in Austria will take place in 2024.
