This corresponds to the emissions of more than 89,900 km driven by a diesel truck and represents 85% of CO2 savings compared to a traditional diesel engine. By investing not only in sustainable fuel but also in fleet renewal, engine retrofitting, and efficiency projects, we tackle the impact of the logistics supply chain.

Why would invest a lot of effort to find the alternate energy sources and fuels for cars? There are proven and matured technologies to extract energy from fossil fuels and IC engines have been used in vehicles for a long. Petroleum fuels are common in the automotive industry. Then, why do we need alternative fuels?

In one way, the program in question—the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)—is a relic from a bygone era. The RFS, in essence, mandated that the blend powering engines in the nation’s official service vehicles run on a certain amount of renewable fuel. It’s not the only question with an answer that is still in flux.
