DAF promotes HVO for its diesel engine trucks

New generation DAF Trucks utilising HVO fuel

Netherlands – In a bid to reduce CO2 emissions, DAF Trucks NV of Eindhoven, Netherlands, has announced that its new generation combustion engine trucks are able to use Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)*, a biofuel the company claims can reduce CO2 by 90% compared to diesel. For operators, these new generation trucks can utilise HVO without any modifications** whilst emulating their performance and service intervals of up to 200,000 kilometres. DAF’s LF and XD series as well as certain XF, XG and XG+ trucks are now HVO-ready.
