Multifuel

Meclean is a company which is always at the forefront when it comes to new technical innovations, progressive developments and trends in the market on a local, national and global level with the aim of providing the end user with solid and reliable products for the cleaning challenges of today but also for the near future. According to the needs and wishes of the customer.


By the term Multifuel is meant that this product works both with the traditional fuel such as diesel but also with fossil free and low emission fuels. Well-known variants are Neste MY Renewable Diesel, GTL and Aspen Diesel.

HV0 stands for "Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil," or diesel fuel made from vegetable oils and residual waste. The letters indicate the purity of the blend form. HV0100 is the purest form and therefore offers the most sustainability benefits. 


You might not think it but Aspen Diesel is a clean HVO fuel developed specifically for professional diesel machinery. This future-proof fuel contains fewer harmful substances, has a long shelf life and is completely renewable.


HV0100 and Aspen Diesel are not only better for the machines but also for the end user, the environment and the climate.

Professional cleaning machines with Kohler diesel engines are fully compatible with HVO100 

A modern diesel engine does not need to be modified to use HVO100, this makes the switch to renewable fuel very easy. However, it is advisable to check the compatibility of the machine or vehicle beforehand. Because HVO100 is more chemically stable than other similar fuels, it requires less frequent maintenance and benefits the life of injectors and fuel filters. HV0100 is also odourless and more resistant to colder temperatures than traditional biodiesel (FAME).

Does HVO100 affect Kohler engine performance?

Because the composition of HVO is very similar to regular diesel according to the NEN-EN 590 standard, you can mix it well with conventional diesel. A common ratio is HVO20, twenty per cent HV0100 and eighty per cent diesel or HVO50, fifty per cent HVO100 and fifty per cent diesel. Using HVO100 also does not detract in any way from the performance of the professional cleaning machine when compared with conventional fuel.

Frequently asked questions about HVO100 fuel

Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil is an increasingly popular choice for companies that value sustainability and CO2 reduction. As a fossil-free diesel variant, HVO100 offers numerous advantages, but can also raise questions.

  • What is HVO100 fuel?

    HVO100 is a biofuel. HVO100 is an abbreviation for ‘Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil’. The liquid fuel is made from residues, vegetable oils such as sunflower or rape seed. The number indicates the purity of the blend, also known as the cetane number. In the case of HVO100, this is 100%, the higher this number, the faster the fuel ignites which ensures more efficient engine operation.

  • How is HVO made?

    HVO is made from hydrogen-treated vegetable residual oils animal fats and other residual waste. The use of hydrogen is necessary to make it entirely suitable as a fuel. The end result is a fuel whose composition is very similar to fossil diesel without the use of fossil feedstock in this process.

  • Which is better GTL or HVO?

    Although Gas-to-liquid and HVO originate from a similar production method but there is one important difference. HVO is produced from biomass whose effects on the climate are very minimal. Making GTL requires natural gas which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Is HVO emission-free?

    HVO is not completely fossil-free and therefore should not be labelled zero-emission. However, it does reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% over the entire cycle, including production, transport and combustion. Combustion releases far fewer particulates, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides than ordinary diesel.

  • Can my commercial vehicle run on HVO100?

    In most cases, HVO100 can be refuelled in commercial vehicles if they meet the EN15940 standard. HVO100 vehicle compatibility is the case for both passenger cars, vans and trucks.  Also, no modifications are required on diesel-powered commercial vehicles to use HVO100 as a fuel.
