SUSTAINABILITY
“ HVO100 is produced from 100 % renewable and sustainable raw materials , which further enhances its environmental benefits .”
Unlike electric and hydrogen fleets , HVO100 does not rely on the grid , making it a more reliable option in areas where grid stability is a concern .
HVO100 ’ s immense potential While HVO100 already offers a range of benefits , there is still scope for more .
At present , HVO100 stands as one of the most effective solutions for the transportation sector to drastically and immediately reduce CO2 emissions .
Compliant with the EU diesel standard EN15940 , HVO100 boasts up to 90 % fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil diesel .
“ We find ourselves in a transitional phase where long-term solutions , such as electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles , are not yet scalable for longdistance freight transport ,” Thijs explains . “ As it stands , HVO100 is the optimal choice for current road freight , paving the way towards sustainable longdistance transport .”
What next for PostNL and Spring ’ s sustainable fleet ? Thijs adds that PostNL and Spring are committed to expanding the network availability of HVO100 , with the aim of enabling direct fuelling along all their routes throughout Europe .
