Logistic companies HAVI and UFF to Test Neste and Scania’s Renewable Fuel Tracking Solution

(IN BRIEF) Neste and Scania are piloting a digital solution that tracks and verifies the use of renewable fuels by trucks. The solution combines data from Scania’s Fleet Management Portal and Neste’s fuel emission data to provide fleet management customers with accurate information on their greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability performance. The solution is currently being tested by logistics companies HAVI and UFF and could serve all fleet manufacturers and renewable fuel types in the future. The aim of the solution is to promote greater use of renewable fuels and drive sustainability efforts.

(PRESS RELEASE) ESPOO, 10-Feb-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Neste (HEL: NESTE), the world’s leading producer of sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel, and renewable feedstock solutions for various polymers and chemicals industry uses, and Scania are collaborating on a cutting-edge digital solution that streamlines the tracking and verification of renewable fuel usage by trucks. The solution combines data from Scania’s Fleet Management Portal with Neste’s fuel emission data, providing fleet management customers with accurate, up-to-date information on their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and sustainability performance. This allows customers to compare the climate impact of using Neste’s renewable fuels with that of fossil fuels and monitor their progress towards reducing emissions.

The digital solution is currently being tested by logistics companies HAVI and UFF. The solution provides a comprehensive view of where a truck has been refuelled and how far it has traveled, as well as the associated environmental impact of using Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ instead of fossil fuel. This solution addresses the challenge of accurately verifying the use of renewable fuels, as the same truck may also run on fossil fuels.

Neste and Scania have a shared vision for the future, where the solution could serve all fleet manufacturers and renewable fuel types. With this innovative solution, they aim to promote greater use of renewable fuels and drive positive change towards a more sustainable future.

“The purpose of our unique collaboration is to test together with a fleet manufacturer how to verify the use of renewable fuels and accurately report the climate impact. The climate data flows now digitally through the systems, whereas before, it was mostly collected manually from different sources. Our pilot with Scania started by finding out the challenges that transport companies currently face in developing the sustainability of their fleet and related sustainability reporting. We invited customers in the transportation business to take part in interviews to provide the service design team at Scania a deeper understanding on their sustainability development challenges. We also wanted to support Scania’s own efforts to follow-up and report their own progress on the Science Based Targets initiative. Encouraged by the successful pilot in Finland, we are now looking into expanding the solution to the new markets,” says Mats Hultman, Head of OEM Partnerships at Neste.

“Scania’s purpose is to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system, creating a world of mobility that is better for the business, society and the environment. We are sure that data transparency, connectivity and partnerships in the ecosystem are vital to accelerate this journey, where energy efficiency, electrification, renewable fuels and smart and safe transport are all part of the solution. In this collaboration our aim was to enable access to reliable, accurate and automated emissions calculations that could be used both in daily operations but also showcase the credibility of renewable fuels in the ecosystem,” says Jacob Thärnå, Head of Sustainable Transport at Scania.

“HAVI is committed to net zero emissions by 2050 and we’re proud to work with our customers and partners to provide increasingly sustainable, digitally enabled and transparent supply chain solutions. With much of our European delivery fleet now powered by alternative fuels such as electrification, biogas and renewable diesel, we’re delighted that this pioneering digitalisation initiative from Scania and Neste enables automatic reporting into the real GHG reductions achieved on behalf of our customers. More widely, deliveries with a verifiably lower carbon footprint could also strengthen trust in the progress that is being made toward net zero,” says Massimo D’Alessandro, Director Sustainability & Innovation, HAVI.

“Together with Scania and our piloting customers, HAVI and UFF, we aim to demonstrate how climate data can create additional value and push the logistics industry towards lower emissions. Collaboration in the whole industry value chain is important when new solutions are developed, and this pilot is a good example of a customer-centric solution that paves the way for the whole industry to combat climate change,” says Mats Hultman, Head of OEM Partnerships at Neste.
