DROP IN HVO/XTL BIOFUEL FOR TRUCK AND TRAILER
Minimize the carbon footprint of your entire fuel-driven fleet by using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils (HVO) with Thermo King’s GreenTech™ engines. Boost your sustainability by powering your Thermo King truck and trailer refrigeration units with HVO/XTL biofuel – without the need of engine modification.
HVO/XTL biofuel drastically reduces emissions, waste, and operational cost and are THE sustainable alternative of choice for regular diesel, immediately reducing your fleet’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by up to 90% and drastically reducing particulate matter pollution without any loss in engine performance.
Benefits
- Widely available across Europe
- Drop-in fuel, no engine modifications required
- Compatible with existing truck and trailer Thermo King GreenTech™ refrigeration units
- No change in engine maintenance interval
- No loss in engine performance compared to fossil fuels
- Can be used in extreme weather conditions
All Thermo King truck and trailer refrigeration units can run smoothly on HVO/XTL biofuel, alone or mixed with regular diesel, without the need of engine modification. And while engine performance remains at the same high level, service and maintenance intervals are not impacted.
Widely available across Europe, this sustainable solution is your first step towards a reduced carbon emissions fleet. Delivering internationally? Not to worry, fuels can be mixed, and units can also temporarily be refueled with regular diesel when delivering internationally or until HVO/XTL biofuel is available again, keeping greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as low as possible.
Tried and tested level
Thermo King boldly challenges what’s possible for a sustainable world by providing sustainable and reliable transport climate control solutions. We’ve moved to HVO/XTL biofuel as the only fuel for testing units in our factory in Galway, reducing emissions.
