GEFCO France and Gardien Transports test biodiesel in car transporters
In France, GEFCO France and Gardien Transports started testing biodiesel made from waste oil and fat in November as an alternative fuel for two car transporters distributing new vehicles in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France. This one-year project supports GEFCO France’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions from its finished vehicles logistics (FVL) operations.
For these tests, GEFCO France and Gardien Transports have selected Altens PUR-XTL biodiesel. This alternative fuel is produced exclusively from waste materials, and can be used in regular diesel vehicles without any technical modifications. Compared to standard diesel, PUR-XTL promises to cut CO2 emissions by 85-90% and fine/ultrafine particles by up to 65% on short journeys with 500 km of autonomy.
