Waste collection
Short driving sections, frequent stops, changing loads and auxiliary drives. Driving and collection work are recorded together.
ECOTRUCKS / Municipalities
For your fleet.
For the working day.
Waste collection, municipal depots and public services need trucks suited to their duties. We assess engine management in actual operation - with diesel or HVO100 and service at your premises.

Municipal depots and public services
Different duties need separate assessments. Together we select a truck whose actual working day can be documented meaningfully.
HVO100 in your fleet
The fuel actually used remains part of the comparison. Approval, product and purchase price are recorded; any fuel switch is assessed separately.
PILOT
One truck. A fair comparison.
Prepare
Agree on the truck, typical route, fuel and objective. Clarify technical suitability, approvals, timing and costs first.
Record the baseline
Document consumption, mileage, operating hours, load and work performed. Define the data source and measurement period.
Assess on site
Any calibration is assessed for the vehicle and its duties, then agreed with you.
Review together
Comparable work, measured consumption and driver feedback form the basis. You decide about further trucks.
Measure first. Then decide.
What a credible pilot report needs to show
A percentage alone is not enough. A future case study needs a baseline, fuel, comparable work and a measurement method. Only collected and approved results will be published as a reference.
- Vehicle, engine and technical condition
- Diesel or HVO100 and the data source used
- Route, load, stops, auxiliary drives and work performed
- Before and after periods, deviations and limitations

A useful pilot starts with a clear plan.
Four pages to prepare: process, vehicle details, measurement log and joint review. Fill in digitally or print, with space for your own measurements.
DIESEL B7 / HVO / HVO100
Diesel and HVO, clearly explained.
Fuel is part of the duty profile. The exact product, approval for the specific truck and consumption data from your operation all matter.
Diesel B7: what does it mean?
Diesel meeting EN 590 is conventional diesel fuel. The B7 label indicates up to 7% FAME biodiesel by volume. It does not describe the total renewable content: paraffinic components may also be included in fuel that meets the standard.
HVO and HVO100: what is the difference?
HVO stands for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil: oils and fats treated with hydrogen. Depending on the product, feedstocks may include waste and residues. HVO is a paraffinic fuel, chemically different from FAME biodiesel. HVO100 denotes an unblended HVO product; for blends, the actual product composition matters.
EN 15940 and XTL: what should you check?
EN 15940 covers paraffinic diesel fuels, identified by XTL at the pump. XTL alone does not prove a renewable origin. Check the product data sheet, manufacturer approval for the vehicle and engine, and your fleet requirements. A suitable fuel standard does not replace vehicle approval.
CO₂: separate exhaust from lifecycle
Burning HVO also produces CO₂. A potential climate benefit over fossil diesel is assessed across the lifecycle and depends on feedstocks, production and the supply chain. We therefore do not state a generic HVO saving. Reliable claims require product-specific evidence and matching assessment boundaries.
How a municipality can use the calculator
Select diesel or HVO100 and enter your actual purchase price per litre and measured consumption. For mixed fleets, calculate each fuel group separately. The calculator models reduced consumption of the selected fuel, not a switch from diesel to HVO.
How to make a pilot comparable
Compare similar routes, loads and tasks using the same fuel grade. Record litres, kilometres, operating hours and work performed. A simultaneous fuel change and engine calibration must be assessed separately so results can be attributed.
Suitability and any potential optimisation are assessed beforehand. Compatibility or reduced consumption is not guaranteed for any particular vehicle.
Ecotrucks
We come to you.
You test in daily operation.
Your own operation is the practical starting point for a first assessment. Together we select suitable pilot trucks and agree the on-site visit and scope of optimisation. The vehicles then carry out their real duties, creating a basis for decisions drawn from your working day.
