Vauxhall follows Renault on biofuels |
Following a similar
announcement by Renault last December, Vauxhall introduced B30 biodiesel
compatible versions of its equivalent van and chassis-cab models at the
NEC show. Its Vivaro, a rebadged variant of the Renault Trafic and
Movano (Renault Master) models, with powertrains adapted to accept fuel
with a 30% bio content, are being trialled with what Vauxhall calls key
fleet customers.
Depending on the source
of the biomass feedstock used in the production of the biodiesel fuel, a
net reduction in greenhouse gas (ie CO2) emissions of up to 20% is
claimed for the technology, which has been applied to the 2 litre
Renault diesel in the Vivaro and the 2.5 litre unit in the Movano.
