Petrobras and Volvo establish partnership for the use of renewable diesel R5

Volvo will be the first company to adopt the R5 diesel in its operations, aiming at sustainability. The partnership with Petrobras for the use of fuel with renewable content reinforces the position of both regarding the energy transition.

Petrobras established a pioneering commercial partnership with Volvo, marking a significant advance towards sustainability in the transport sector. The automaker will adopt diesel R5, an innovative fuel with renewable content produced by Petrobras, which will result in substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. This alliance reflects the commitment of both companies to environmental preservation, with Petrobras being the first producer of renewable diesel in Brazil.

Volvo will be the first automaker to incorporate Petrobras R5 diesel

Petrobras, a pioneer in the production of diesel with renewable content in the Brazilian market, joins forces with Volvo in an innovative commercial partnership.

This collaboration sees the adoption of the R5 diesel by automaker Volvo, marking an important moment for both companies and the transport sector towards a more sustainable future.

The partnership between Petrobras and Volvo goes beyond business. It symbolizes an essential alignment of shared goals, focused on sustainability and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

The two companies are joining forces to drive the development of a low-carbon economy, demonstrating a tangible commitment to environmental preservation.

The R5 diesel stands as a testament to the companies' aspirations towards sustainability.

Thus, Petrobras stands out as the pioneer in creating the first diesel with renewable content in Brazil.

Volvo, in turn, embraces this innovation as the first automaker to adopt the R5 riesel exclusively in its operations in Curitiba, where it produces commercial vehicles.

Volvo's decision to adopt the R5 diesel was not taken at random. The technology behind this innovative fuel was rigorously tested at the renowned Petrobras Research Center (Cenpes).

The union of technical, strategic and commercial visions between Petrobras and Volvo solidified this conscious choice in favor of sustainability, with fuel with renewable content at the heart of the project.

Diesel R5 will contribute to the reduction of pollutant emissions 

Diesel with renewable content from Petrobras has become a highlight in the national energy transition market.

Its production takes place at the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (Repar), in Paraná. This process involves the co-processing of petroleum derivatives with renewable raw materials, such as soy oil.

The innovative approach results in at least a 60% reduction in emissions when compared to mineral diesel.

In addition, Petrobras plans to expand the production of Diesel R also at the Presidente Bernardes Refinery (RPBC), in Cubatão.

By adopting the R5 diesel, Volvo is directly contributing to a significant reduction in industrial emissions.

The R5 fuel configuration has the advantage of being compatible with conventional engines, without the need for adaptations.

This opens doors for a smooth and effective transition to a more sustainable fuel, benefiting the truck fleet and promoting positive impacts on the environment.

In a transformative collaboration, Petrobras and Volvo reinforce that the search for more sustainable solutions is not just an objective, but a reality that is being built, step by step, towards a cleaner and more environmentally conscious future.

Now, the automaker will enjoy the benefits of using diesel with renewable content in its operations.
