Deutsche Bahn achieves HVO targets two years early

In Germany, Solar Server reports Deutsche Bahn has already achieved its self-imposed target for the use of the biofuel HVO two years ahead of time. The main reason for this is the conversion of diesel filling stations to HVO. In addition, the positive experiences in operation have strengthened confidence in HVO. DB already approved around 1,000 vehicles for refueling with the climate-friendly biofuel HVO in 2022, and the freight transport subsidiary DB Cargo has already approved the entire fleet with 800 vehicles for biofuel. The remaining 2,000 diesel vehicles in the existing DB fleet will also follow in the next five years. With the first measures to phase out diesel, DB will save at least 50,000 metric tons of CO₂ by 2025.
