Espoo/Finland – Neste and BMW have recently 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. The transition of the initial filling to HVO100 will thereby affect more than half of the global production volume of BMW’s diesel vehicles. First deliveries of the fuel to individual plants have already commenced.

BMW recently expanded its approval of the use of renewable diesel (also known as “HVO100” or Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) 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, for example when it comes to liability questions.

“We are grateful for BMW’s trust in us, and we are looking forward to this cooperation,” says Joerg Huebeler, Head of Market Development EU & APAC, Transport & Industry at Neste. “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. We also wish to express our gratitude to our partner Biofuel Express, who supports us in delivering the fuel to BMW.”

This is not the first time BMW and Neste cooperate on renewable diesel: In 2023, in addition to the use of electric trucks, a one-year test of renewable diesel took place in logistics operations around the BMW plant in Munich – with Neste being the supplier of the fuel. With the steps now being taken, BMW is taking advantage of the change in the German law in spring 2024, which permits the free sale of renewable diesel in Germany.

Neste's renewable diesel is made from 100 % renewable raw materials, primarily waste and residue oils and fats. Leveraging these raw materials, the use of the fuel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90 %* over the life cycle of the fuel compared to fossil diesel.

*) The GHG emission reduction varies depending on the region-specific legislation that provides the methodology for the calculations (e.g. EU RED II 2018/2001/EU for Europe and US California LCFS for the US), and the raw material mix used to manufacture the product for each market.
