Aeam 841 has been running on 100% HVO since the beginning \u2013 consistently sustainable in diesel operation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the testing and commissioning of the Aeam 841, LokPool AG is committed to more sustainable diesel operation: Our Aeam 841 has been running on 100% HVO100 since its first day on the rails, supplied by New Process AG<\/a>. This is a modern, synthetic diesel fuel (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) that is made entirely from residual and waste materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While SBB has been using an HVO blend of 25% HVO and 75% fossil diesel throughout Switzerland since April 2024 to reduce CO2 emissions, LokPool AG has consciously decided to use 100% HVO100. Whether and how this can be implemented during ongoing operation remains to be seen. However, the course was deliberately set in the direction of HVO or alternative fuels during the development of the Aeam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is HVO100?<\/strong>HVO belongs to the latest generation of paraffinic diesel fuels. It is not made from petroleum, but from renewable raw materials such as used vegetable oils and industrial residues. According to SBB, even a 25% HVO blend noticeably reduces CO\u2082 emissions. With pure HVO100, CO\u2082 savings of up to 85% are possible \u2013 depending on production and supplier. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why is the Aeam 841 ideal for using HVO100?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Stainless steel tank, ideal for synthetic fuels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Large diesel tank for long, autonomous operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • No technical adjustments necessary<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cleaner combustion, less particulate formation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    It was clear to LokPool AG: if diesel, then as climate-friendly as possible. The locomotive is currently undergoing testing and evaluation to comprehensively assess consumption data, operating behavior and component compatibility. The results so far have been consistently positive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
