BMW Group Partners with Eni to Expand HVO Diesel Use Across Corporate Fleets

BMW Group has entered into a partnership with Eni to supply its corporate vehicle fleets operating in Italy with Enilive's HVOlution renewable diesel. The collaboration, announced on July 13, marks another step in the company's broader efforts to integrate lower-emission fuel alternatives into its daily fleet operations while supporting existing diesel vehicles with renewable fuel solutions.

BMW Expands Renewable Diesel Usage Across Fleet Operations

Under the agreement, BMW has begun using pure HVO renewable diesel in its diesel vehicle test and development fleets. Alongside fuel deployment, the company is evaluating a monitoring system designed to accurately record fuel consumption by matching vehicle refueling information with fleet payment records. This approach enables improved tracking of renewable fuel usage across fleet activities without changing the underlying technical operation of the vehicles.

HVO Availability Supports Multi-Country Fleet Operations

BMW corporate fleets also utilize HVO while operating in Germany and Austria. Across these three countries, approximately 1,700 Enilive service stations currently provide HVOlution renewable diesel, allowing the company to refuel eligible fleet vehicles through an established distribution network. The expanded fuel availability supports practical day-to-day fleet operations across multiple European markets.

Eligible BMW Diesel Models for HVO Fuel

BMW has approved HVO diesel for diesel models registered from late 2014 onward that are equipped with Generation B diesel engines. The approval aligns with the EN 15940 fuel standard, confirming compatibility for qualifying vehicles and enabling the use of renewable HVO diesel without altering the approved technical specifications.
