As part of a cooperation between the two companies, Rhenus will put two vehicles into operation that run on renewable fuel supplied by Repsol. These trucks will make a daily round trip in Spain between the Rhenus hub in Irun and the Robert Bosch plants in Aranjuez and Madrid.
“Our partnership with Bosch underlines our ongoing commitment to innovation and the implementation of solutions that significantly reduce our impact on the environment and at the same time help our customers to achieve their sustainability goals,” says Andoni Izquierdo, member of the Steering Committee of Rhenus Road Spain.
The fuel these lorries are using is a 100% renewable biofuel produced from waste materials such as used cooking oil and forest residues, providing an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative.
It meets the sustainability certifications required by the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive and reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by more than 80% compared to conventional fuels, without requiring any changes to the vehicle fleet.
