Stellantis Multijet Turbodiesel Engines Now Compatible with Green HVO Fuel

Stellantis has taken a significant step toward sustainability, announcing that its full lineup of cars and light-duty commercial vehicles in Europe is now compatible with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) Diesel fuel, often referred to as “green Diesel.” This development allows Stellantis owners with compatible models to use a cleaner-burning, renewable fuel source, helping reduce emissions without requiring any engine modifications.

Understanding HVO Diesel – 

Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) Diesel is a type of biofuel created from renewable sources such as used vegetable oils, waste cooking oils, and animal fats. Through a hydrogenation process, HVO is refined into a sulfur-free Diesel alternative with lower levels of pollutants. Unlike conventional Diesel, HVO reduces carbon emissions while delivering the same level of power, fuel efficiency, and engine performance.

Compatibility Across Stellantis’ Diesel Lineup – 

HVO compatibility is now validated for Stellantis models featuring Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines, including many existing vehicles. Stellantis models that have “XTL” marked on their fuel filler necks are cleared for HVO Diesel, making it simple for drivers to transition to this sustainable fuel option.

In addition, several Stellantis engines without the XTL marking can still use HVO Diesel, including:

• 1.3-liter MultiJet I-4
• 1.6-liter MultiJet I-4
• 2.0-liter MultiJet I-4
• 2.2 MultiJet I-4 (including the updated 4.0 version)
• 3.0 MultiJet (EcoDiesel) V6
• 2.3 MultiJet (F1A – Fiat Ducato) I-4

This broad coverage allows Stellantis drivers to contribute to a cleaner environment without any significant adjustments to their vehicles.

Why HVO Diesel is a Game-Changer – 

For drivers, HVO Diesel offers several benefits. By switching to HVO, users can reduce their vehicle’s carbon emissions, improve local air quality with lower particulate matter and NOx emissions, and enjoy the same performance as traditional Diesel. HVO’s renewable origins make it a sustainable choice, aligning with Stellantis’ commitment to providing eco-friendly solutions that support long-term carbon reduction.

Stellantis Leads the Shift Toward Sustainable Fuels – 

Stellantis’ support of HVO Diesel compatibility is part of its larger goal to lower the carbon footprint of its vehicle lineup. By endorsing a sustainable fuel option that works with current diesel models, Stellantis reinforces its dedication to environmentally responsible driving.

With HVO Diesel, Stellantis drivers in Europe now have an accessible way to make a positive environmental impact without sacrificing their vehicle’s performance. This initiative is part of Stellantis’ broader sustainability vision, which includes investing in alternative fuel sources, expanding EV options, and continuing to offer advanced solutions that help reduce emissions while meeting customer needs.
