HVO fuel at Liebherr

What is HVO?

HVO = Fuel from hydrotreated vegetable oils

Raw materials: Vegetable oils & fats from the food industry (ideally waste such as used cooking oil and fat residues). At Ehingen: from waste (excluding palm oil).

Difference to diesel: Lower density & lower exhaust emissions

Addition: In pure form (100 % HVO) or in any ratio with diesel

Standard: EN 15940 (synthetic fuel)

HVO fuels which comply with standard EN 15940 with a base of hydrogenated vegetable oils can make a valuable contribution to reducing global emissions of greenhouse gases.

More environmentally friendly drive concepts for vehicles and machinery are more important than ever to reduce CO2 emissions. HVO is an alternative fuel that can power a large proportion of Liebherr's construction machinery, mobile harbor cranes, mobile and crawler cranes and mining equipment, either in its pure form or as an additive to fossil diesel.

The benefits

  • No modifications are required
  • Good compatibility with all engine components
  • HVO can be mixed with fossil diesel in any ratio for use in conventional internal combustion engines
  • That means that even older Liebherr machines in global fleets can be operated on an essentially climate-neutral basis using HVO
  • Very good low temperature resistance (down to at least -20 °C)
  • Reduced use of Adblue (around -10 %)
  • Lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (around -11 %) and particulates
  • Lower soot particle emissions, especially in cranes without diesel particulate filters
