On 12 December, Neste and BMW announced a partnership to supply 100% renewable diesel fuel, also known as Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO100).
BMW will purchase Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ and use it as an initial fuelling station for diesel vehicles leaving BMW’s German manufacturing plants.
Under the agreement, Neste’s renewable diesel will be used at the BMW plants in Munich, Dingolfing, Leipzig and Regensburg.
The transition from initial refuelling to HVO100 will affect more than half of BMW’s global diesel vehicle production.
The first deliveries of the fuel have already begun to the plants.
