Survey shows many vehicles can run on higher biodiesel blends

In Germany, a recent survey among commercial vehicle manufacturers shows that many trucks, buses and mobile machines are approved for higher blends of biodiesel. Even the latest Euro VI engines can be operated with standardized biodiesel blends of 20 percent, 30 percent (B20 or B30, standard EN 16709) and pure biodiesel (B100, standard EN 14214). As can be seen from the approval list published jointly by the Association Quality Management Biodiesel (AGQM), Union for the Promotion of Oil and Protein Plants (UFOP) and the Association of the German Biofuel Industry (VDB), heavy-duty road traffic can use increasing quantities of biodiesel in the future.
