In its quest to make logistics more sustainable, Italiansped continues to pursue solutions that reduce the environmental impact of freight transport. One such solution focuses on the use of advanced biofuels such as HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil).

Recently, our dedicated partner introduced a new HVO-powered vehicle into its fleet, to be used on urban routes where fuel consumption is typically high. This significantly reduces CO2 emissions and improves operational efficiency, helping Italiansped achieve its ESG goals.

What is HVO?

HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a next-gen biofuel obtained by processing used vegetable oils and other waste materials. A special hydrogenation process makes this fuel more stable and cleaner than traditional biodiesel. It can be used pure (HVO100) or blended with fossil diesel, without any need to modify existing engines.

Benefits of HVO

Italiansped has chosen to promote the use of HVO to improve the sustainability of freight transport and optimize performance on the vehicles with which it makes shipments. Key benefits include:

• Significantly lower CO2 emissions: using HVO can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional diesel.
• Excellent performance even in adverse weather: HVO retains its performance specifications even at low temperatures, ensuring outstanding reliability.
• Greater efficiency and less air pollution: thanks to more efficient combustion, it reduces both the production of particulate matter and engine noise.
• Fewer harmful substances: being free from sulfur and aromatic compounds, HVO is a safer solution for both the environment and the vehicle itself.

This approach underscores Italiansped’s commitment to more sustainable, innovative transport, combining operational efficiency with environmental responsibility.
