Continental Aerospace Technologies finalizing HVO testing for use in CD-100 engine series

Green Car Congress

HVO is a renewable and carbon-neutral fuel alternative. In addition to vegetable oils, this premium quality fuel product can be produced from tallow and used cooking oil. Hydrotreated vegetable oil is one of many sustainable alternative fuels. The CD-155 and CD-170 run on both jet fuel and diesel (DIN EN590).
