Mabanaft reducing the emissions of The Lechner Racing Team!

Mabanaft Group were delighted to supply the renewable diesel (HVO) to Junction 29 Onroute truckstops for the Lechner Racing Team as they refuelled on their journey home following an eventful race day at Silverstone last week. Mabanaft Group and The Lechner Racing Team have entered into a long-term partnership to reduce carbon emissions. Over the next three years covering the Porsche Supercup seasons from 2023 to 2025, Mabanaft Group will enable Lechner Racing to reduce the CO2 emissions from their road transport vehicles to net zero.

The Benefits of Renewable Diesel

Also known as HVO, renewable diesel is a fossil-free alternative to Diesel, resulting in up to 90% reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions. Renewable diesel is a sustainable alternative to traditional diesel fuel made from 100% renewable and sustainable feedstocks from resources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and waste oil.

One of the main benefits of using Renewable Diesel is its reduced carbon emissions. It produces up to 80% fewer CO2 emissions than traditional diesel fuel, making it a more environmentally friendly option. Additionally, Renewable Diesel has a higher cetane number than conventional diesel, improving engine performance and reducing engine noise. It is also compatible with existing diesel engines, making it easy to switch to renewable diesel without significant modifications.

Overall, renewable diesel provides a cleaner and more sustainable fuel option for transportation and other diesel-powered equipment.

Onroute to supply Renewable Diesel

A wholly owned subsidiary of Mabanaft Limited, Onroute Truckstops will initially supply Renewable Diesel (HVO) at Junction 29 in Chesterfield before rolling the product out across its entire UK network.  

Head of Mabanaft UK Ltd & Onroute Truckstops UK, Jay Nair, said,

“Truck stops will play a key role in helping the industry transition away from traditional fossil fuels to new, cleaner energy sources. Supplying Renewable Diesel (HVO) at our truck stop is an important step in the journey”
