Customers of International who drive ‘LT’, ‘RH’, ‘HX’, and/or ‘HV’ trucks powered by the S13 powertrain may now choose to switch from diesel to R100/R99 or hydrotreated vegetable oil, significantly reducing their tailpipe emissions.

Government aims to reduce CO2 emissions with increased use of biofuels in transportation

By using HVO instead of diesel, Volvo claims it can replace up to 1,125,000 gallons of diesel annually, achieving an emissions reduction of 75% to 85% from its operations in North America.

The pilot vehicle is a Marcopolo-bodied bus with a Scania chassis capable of running on biodiesel from locally-sourced waste, such as animal manure and other agricultural waste.

The initiative presents the market with an integrated and sustainable logistics model for natural gas and biomethane-powered trucks.

The supply agreement is in support of the Baidyanath company’s plan to create a network of LNG refuelling stations in strategic locations across Central India.

The LNG agreement is seen as the first and important step towards creating the largest road logistics corridor in Brazil, with a focus on reducing CO2 emissions; initially it will focus on the North and North East of the country.

Set to be released in 2024, Cummins claims that the X15N natural gas engine delivers diesel-like performance in terms of power, durability and reliability.

Chairman, Indian Oil, said: "The collaboration with an Indian biofuel major – Praj, ... will strengthen our resolve to achieve our goal of net-zero operational emissions by 2046 and maintain our leadership in the green energy domain.”

The biomethane bus trial in Londrina is the third demonstration by Compagas and Scania in 2023; the first being in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, and then in the capital city of Curitiba.

DTNA launches its Class 8 Freightliner Cascadia Day Cab (116 in. BBC), paired with the Cummins ISX12N engine and the new Allison 3414 Regional Haul Series automatic transmission.

This initiative is part of Scania's short term (2025) global sustainability goals.
