Neste supplies renewable diesel to BMW for new vehicles in Germany

BMW is sourcing Neste MY Renewable Diesel for the initial fueling of new passenger cars produced at BMW plants in Germany.

Neste and BMW announced a collaboration for the supply of renewable diesel. BMW will purchase Neste MY Renewable Diesel and use the fuel for the initial fill of diesel vehicles leaving their manufacturing plants in Germany.

This will see Neste's renewable diesel being used in the BMW plants in Munich, Dingolfing, Leipzig, and Regensburg.

BMW recently expanded its approval of the use of renewable diesel (also known as HVO100) to cover an even larger portion of BMW models. While renewable diesel is in general compatible with all diesel engines, the official approval from BMW provides further assurance for drivers.

“Renewable diesel plays an important role in the transformation towards sustainable mobility globally. The first filling of BMW cars in Germany with Neste’s renewable diesel allows customers to experience firsthand that significant GHG emission reductions with renewable diesel are possible without any impact on the vehicle performance,” says Joerg Huebeler, Head of Market Development EU & APAC, Transport & Industry at Neste.

Neste's renewable diesel is made from 100% renewable raw materials, primarily waste and residue oils and fats.
