KIOTI Europe is pleased to announce that its diesel
engines are officially approved for operation with HVO fuel (Hydrotreated
Vegetable Oil). This development enables customers to further reduce the
environmental impact of their equipment without compromising performance or
reliability.
All KIOTI
diesel-powered products — including tractors, SSL/CTL machines, UTVs, and
zero-turn mowers — can now operate seamlessly using this non-fossil diesel
alternative.
HVO100 is produced from renewable raw materials and
can significantly improve the overall CO₂ balance compared to conventional fossil diesel.
Importantly for operators, the fuel complies with the EN 15940 diesel standard
and can be used directly without requiring any technical modifications to
existing KIOTI engines. In addition, HVO fuel can be freely blended with
conventional diesel, offering flexibility in fuel management and transition
strategies.
Performance remains a key strength. Thanks to modern
Common-Rail engine technology used across KIOTI equipment, the slightly lower
energy density of HVO is effectively compensated for in real-world applications.
With this approval, KIOTI continues its commitment to
providing practical, forward-looking solutions that support more sustainable
operations while maintaining the durability and performance of proven diesel
technology.
