On-Road field trial: B100 can help decarbonize heavy-duty trucking

A recent study found that 100 percent biodiesel, or B100, can help decarbonize Class 8 heavy-duty over-the-road trucks.

Colin Huwyler is the CEO of Optimus Technologies, the company that manufactures a fuel system technology enabling existing diesel engines to run on B100.

“At a high level what we found was an improvement in fuel economy with the 100 percent biodiesel trucks. Compared to traditional diesel, we saw a slight improvement in the miles per gallon that the biodiesel trucks were getting compared to diesel trucks.
