Volvo Will Be The First Company To Adopt Diesel R5 In Its Operations, Aiming At Sustainability. The Partnership With Petrobras For The Use Of Renewable Content Fuel Reinforces The Positioning Of Both Towards The Energy Transition.

Petrobras has established a pioneering commercial partnership with Volvo, marking a significant advancement towards sustainability in the transportation sector. The automaker will adopt Diesel R5, an innovative renewable content fuel produced by Petrobras, resulting 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’ Diesel R5

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

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

Diesel R5 Will Contribute To The Reduction Of Pollutant Emissions

The renewable content diesel from Petrobras is becoming a highlight in the national energy transition market.

It is produced at the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (Repar) in Paraná. This process involves the coprocessing of petroleum derivatives with renewable raw materials, such as soybean oil.

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

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

By adopting Diesel R5, Volvo contributes directly to a significant reduction in industrial emissions.

The R5 configuration of the fuel 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 pursuit of more sustainable solutions is not just a goal, but a reality that is being built, step by step, towards a cleaner and environmentally conscious future.

Now, the automaker will take advantage of the benefits of using renewable content diesel in its operations.
