Torello has reached an agreement with Q8 Quaser for the refueling of the fleet with the innovative Q8 HVO+ product. Q8 HVO+ is a biofuel produced from renewable raw materials with an exclusive formula.
The basic product for the formulation of Q8 HVO+ is HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), a biogenic and renewable biofuel, in line with the principles of the circular economy as it is produced through the hydrogenation of fats of vegetable or animal origin, and /or waste, residues and waste.
The exclusive formulation of Q8 combines HVO with specific latest generation detergent products, which further enhance the reduction of emissions, preserving the correct functioning of the engine over time.
Compared to traditional diesel, Q8 HVO+ allows a significant reduction in CO2 emissions calculated over the entire life cycle of the product, reducing emissions by up to 90%. The new product is compatible with the majority of diesel engines of more recent production*, as it is absolutely comparable to traditional diesel.
The supply agreement provides for the delivery to Torello by Q8 Quaser of approximately 30,000 liters per month of product which will be used for distribution missions on the first and last mile. Sustainable logistics faces numerous challenges in the current environment.
