The quickest and easiest way to reduce your CO2 emissions and future-proof your business.
HVO (Hydrated Vegetable Oil) is a drop-in fuel, which means you can start reducing your CO2 emissions with your current fleet and use it without any restrictions in diesel engines. The preferred feedstocks for producing HVO are either animal fat residues or used cooking oils, which can deliver a CO2 reduction of up to 90%.
HVO is both easy to use and significantly lowers carbon emissions compared to standard diesel fuel. These benefits make it an attractive alternative.

We approach the issue of sustainable logistics responsibly, which is why we strive to be the first to bring our customers the latest trends and innovations that support our long-term goal of reducing CO2 emissions. Therefore, we have started exploring the new sustainable fuel HVO100, which can be used in a standard diesel engine vehicle without any modifications. This allows us to reduce the CO2 emission burden by up to 90%, which is the most significant benefit for our customers.
During a three-month test of two trucks running on a regular route using HVO fuel, our drivers did not notice any changes in vehicle performance or fuel consumption compared to diesel. We conducted the testing to verify fuel consumption, check sustainability certificates and greenhouse gas emissions, and determine whether this fuel is an acceptable choice for us and our customers. The certificates and format of the information, which we adjusted in collaboration with the supplier, now meet our certification requirements and comply with the sustainability criteria set out in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II). The results show that HVO is a suitable alternative with no negative impact on operational parameters.
We are committed to sustainable logistics, which is why we're adopting HVO100 - a fuel that cuts CO2 emissions by up to 90% without engine modifications. This eco-friendly innovation benefits our customers and supports our goal of reducing environmental impact.
During a three-month test with HVO fuel, our drivers observed no differences in performance or fuel consumption compared to diesel. The test verified fuel consumption, reviewed sustainability certificates, and assessed emissions. The results confirm that HVO meets our requirements and complies with RED II, proving it’s a suitable alternative with no impact on operations.

HVO is a so-called second generation or advanced biofuel (made from wastematerial, in comparison to first generation biofuels made from food crops)
Hydrotreating of vegetable & animal oils isa modern way to produce very high-quality bio-based diesel fuels without compromising fuel logistics, engines, exhaust after-treatment devices, or exhaust emissions. These hydrotreated vegetable oil (“HVO”) fuels are referred to as ‘renewable diesel’.
Renewable diesel, or HVO, should not be confused with biodiesel or FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). HVO has a similar chemical composition to fossil diesel, whereas biodiesel has a different composition, therefore, they cannot act as a substitute for each other. A FAME portion above 7% requires a modification of the engine.
All HVO fuel that we sell is compliant with EU regulation designed to secure the quality and sustainability of HVO, including the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD)and Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) sustainability criteria & feedstock restrictions, which limit the use of high-risk indirect land use change biofuels and promote advanced biofuels derived from non-food feedstocks such as waste and residues. The market is constantly growing and developing, and Eurowag is actively working with our suppliers to secure the best possible quality product for our customers. Eurowag can provide a proof of origin certificate to customers.
Yes, HVO can be used in standard diesel vehicles. Theofficial fuel label for HVO is XTL. You can refuel HVO at Eurowag truck parks in Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia and at more than 320 filling stations in Eurowag’s acceptance network.
Eurowag is committed to supporting lower carbon alternative fuel solutions. Our filling stations are ready to offer HVO, and we are prepared to respond quickly to customer demand, potentially aided by reduced excise taxes compared to conventional diesel.
