More and more new vehicles leaving the factories are supplied with green fuel that contributes to reducing dependence on fossil fuels to meet climate goals
The climate objectives in Europe aim to reduce the use of fossil fuels, with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. Part of the efforts of car manufacturers is aimed at accelerating the electrification of their new models. But that’s it
research and development the creation of new ecological fuels to achieve the long-awaited emission neutrality. These R33 fuels reduce CO2 emissions by at least 20% compared to fossil fuels, and their use does not require upgrading hardware at gas stations
Since March 2021, Audi petrol stations have been in the factories of
Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm deliver ecological fuel R33 Blue Diesel. In addition, R33 Blue Gasoline now replaces conventional E10 petrol.
The
R33 Blue Petrol and the R33 Blue Diesel consist of one-third renewable components, based exclusively on residual and scrap materials. These are therefore second-generation biofuels. The renewable part of petrol consists of 10% oxygen-containing fuels such as ethanol and 23% bionaphtha, which is extracted from residues such as tall oil, a by-product of pulp production. R33 Blue Diesel consists of 26% renewable paraffinic fuel, i.e. HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and 7% biodiesel; the remaining 67% consists of fossil fuel.
R33 Blue renewable fuels reduce CO2 emissions by at least 20% compared to fossil diesel and petrol in well-to-wheel analysis, and the numbers are growing. By financing
certified environmental projects, fuel producers further amplify the environmental impact of the remaining fossil components in R33 Blue fuels. Within the strategy to reduce the global impact of greenhouse gases, the use of this type of fuel is an important step towards Audi’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality in its production centers by 2025.
The R33 Blue Gasoline fuel complies with the DIN EN 228 standard applicable to petrol, which means that it
any approved vehicle to run on Super 95 E10 gasoline, you can use it.
R33 Blue Diesel complies with the currently most widely used standard, EN 590, and is therefore certified for all diesel vehicles, even the oldest. R33 fuels are top quality and
have a positive effect on the life of the engine thanks to the special additive. Both have consistently achieved positive results in extensive engine and vehicle testing; they even exceed EN 228/E10 in important parameters such as storage stability and boiling behaviour. Moreover, high-quality additives ensure that these renewable fuels are very clean and prevent engine corrosion.
R33 fuels have been developed in collaboration with Shell and Bosch. Audi and the Volkswagen Group bring their know-how together
with mineral oil producers and energy suppliers guarantee the compatibility of existing engines with renewable fuels, also known as reFuels.
Next to gas stations
Audi, Volkswagen and Bosch, the R33 Blue Diesel is now available at public filling stations. However, Super E10 petrol and diesel with a biodiesel content of up to 7% (indicated by the symbol B7) remain the standard fuels in Germany. Mineral oil manufacturers also plan to use R33 Blue Gasolina in the existing fuel station network. The use of reFuels does not require any hardware adjustment at gas stations.
With its “Vorsprung 2030” strategy, Audi is focusing on battery-powered electric mobility.
renewable fuels they are a supplement, making combustion engines more respectful of the climate. They are an effective means of defossilization, both in the short term and from 2033, when the brand with the four rings plans to stop producing internal combustion engines in Europe
