MAN Latin America has supplied three customers with the first dual-fuel trucks that can operate on 100% biodiesel (B100).

 The vehicles, from the heavy Constellation range, can run on B100 or conventional diesel. The trucks are equipped with two separate tanks, which means that these systems can be used in areas where minimum requirements for biodiesel according to DIN norm EN 14214 may not be available.

An electronic system continuously monitors the parameters and adjusts the fuel supply with the aid of a dosing unit. MAN Latin America has been participating in the biofuel test programmes of the Brazilian Ministry for Research and Technology and the state of Rio de Janeiro since 2003.

“It is important to develop products that are adapted to the respective market. This is the only way to achieve sustainable solutions internationally,” commented Yvonne Benkert, CSR manager of the MAN Group. “MAN Latin America is leading the use of biodiesels in commercial vehicles in Latin America.”
