Volvo Trucks first in the world with Bio-DME fuel for road-going vehicles

Volvo Trucks is the first manufacturer in the world to use Bio-DME (Di-Methyl-Ether) as a vehicle fuel. With fuel distributor Preem’s inauguration today of a DME filling station in Stockholm, the first five Volvo DME trucks in commercial operation are now taking to Sweden’s roads. Bio-DME is highly interesting as a biofuel since it produces no less than 95 per cent lower emissions of carbon dioxide compared with diesel.

Feature: Environmental responsibility increasingly important for haulage firms

It has become increasingly important for haulage firms to show that they want to, and can, take their environmental responsibilities seriously. That is why Volvo Trucks is offering its customers a comprehensive declaration of how the company’s trucks impact the environment. Volvo Trucks is the only truck maker to provide such a service. “Demand from our customers for detailed information about our trucks’ climate and environmental footprint has increased in recent years,” says Lars Mårtensson, Environmental Director at Volvo Trucks.

Feature: Gas – a bridge to CO2-neutral transport

Swedish truck maker Volvo Trucks regards gas as the most viable alternative to oil as a fuel for diesel engines. Above all, it offers considerable potential as a bridge to greater use of climate-neutral biogas. “This allows us to deal suitably with the most pressing problem – reducing carbon dioxide emissions,” says Lars Mårtensson, Volvo Trucks’ Environmental Director.
