Valtra’s use of 5M liters of Neste’s HVO avoids GHG emissions by 15,000 tons

In Finland, Finnish Valtra, a globally operating tractor manufacturer belonging to AGCO Corporation, has reached a significant milestone by having used altogether 5 million liters of Neste MY Renewable Diesel as a factory-fill fuel as well as in testing and in its factory forklift trucks at its Suolahti factory in Finland. By replacing fossil fuel with Neste’s renewable diesel, Valtra has prevented over 15,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere. The amount is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the use of fossil fuel in a Valtra T Series tractor continuously for 390,000 hours at 30 to 40% engine load, when all emissions over the life cycle of the fuel are taken into account.

Neste and Valtra have collaborated since 2017, when Valtra became the first tractor factory in the world to fill its new tractors with Neste MY Renewable Diesel that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75% or up to 95% over the fuel’s life cycle when compared to fossil diesel. 

Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a fuel made from 100% renewable raw materials, such as used cooking oil and animal fat from food industry waste. The new Valtra tractors, powered by Neste MY Renewable Diesel, are exported from Suolahti, Finland to over 75 countries globally.
