Stellantis today announces that its entire range of cars and light-duty commercial vehicles is fully compatible with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) Diesel fuel, an eco-friendly alternative to traditional Diesel.
HVO is a biofuel derived from renewable raw materials, such as used vegetable oils, animal fat, and waste cooking oils, differing from traditional petroleum-based Diesel. The hydrogenation process used to produce HVO results in a cleaner, sulfur-free fuel with significantly reduced levels of aromatic compounds and pollutants, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly option.
This green Diesel is also validated for use in many existing Stellantis vehicles with Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines marked with “XTL” on their fuel filler neck. Additionally, certain non-XTL Euro 6 Diesel vehicles are compatible with HVO when equipped with the following engines:
- 1.3 MultiJet
- 1.6 MultiJet
- 2.0 MultiJet
- 2.2 MultiJet
- New 2.2 MultiJet 4.0
- 3.0 V6 MultiJet
- 2.3 MultiJet (F1A – Fiat Ducato)
By broadening the adoption of green Diesel, Stellantis reinforces its commitment to protecting the environment and offering its customers sustainable choices that meet their needs.
