Leading fleets, OEMs, and fuel providers shared how renewable fuels offered cost-effective benefits as a diesel replacement today. The discussion outlined the benefits and differences between renewable diesel (RD) and biodiesel (BD), how to use both year-round at low or no additional cost, and ways to access these fuels to replace nearly 100% of a fleet’s conventional diesel.

Watch the recording to learn:

  • How biodiesel is currently blended into most fuel supplies and how fleets in cold climates manage the use of higher volumes
  • How a breakthrough technology allows diesel engines to run on nearly 100% biodiesel (B99) without cold-climate impacts
  • How renewable diesel is a fully drop-in replacement for diesel (ASTM D975) that can reduce maintenance costs and offer other benefits
  • How renewable diesel supply is widely available at low or no additional cost on the West Coast and increasingly across the country
  • How a renewable fuels strategy that combines BD and RD—sometimes in the same tank—can help fleets meet cost, operational, and sustainability goals
