As the UK moves closer to its net-zero target, businesses are increasingly under pressure to reduce their environmental impact. At Rhinowash, we're committed to providing our customers with sustainable, high-performance pressure washers that meet these evolving needs. That's why our 2024 versions of the RX Series, ST Series, and Rhino One are now HVO ready. But what exactly is HVO fuel, and why is this development so important? Let's dive into the benefits of HVO fuel and how it aligns with Rhinowash's dedication to sustainability and innovation.
What is HVO Fuel?
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel is a revolutionary alternative to traditional diesel. Made from 100% renewable raw materials such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and waste oils, HVO significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions—up to 90% lower net CO2 emissions compared to conventional diesel. This synthetic diesel alternative tackles many of the environmental and performance issues associated with earlier generation biofuels and fossil fuels, making it a superior choice for businesses aiming for sustainability.
Why Rhinowash is Moving to HVO-Ready Equipment
Rhinowash has always been at the forefront of providing innovative, durable, and reliable pressure washers. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we are making all our 2024 pressure washers HVO-ready. This change not only aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints but also provides our customers with an easy path towards adopting greener practices without the need for costly modifications or infrastructure changes.
Benefits of HVO Fuel for Rhinowash Pressure Washers
Significant Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- HVO fuel offers a net reduction of up to 90% in CO2 emissions compared to traditional diesel. By switching to HVO-ready Rhinowash pressure washers, businesses can take a significant step towards meeting their sustainability goals and reducing their environmental impact.
No Need for Engine Modifications
- One of the biggest advantages of HVO fuel is that it can be used as a direct replacement for mineral diesel without requiring any modifications to the engine. This makes it a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint without investing in new equipment.
Extended Shelf Life
- HVO fuel has a much longer shelf life than traditional diesel—up to 10 years compared to just one year for mineral diesel. This means that businesses can store HVO fuel for longer periods without worrying about degradation, ensuring consistent performance and reliability from their pressure washers.
Enhanced Cold Weather Performance
- HVO fuel performs exceptionally well in cold weather, with excellent cold start properties. For businesses operating in colder climates, this is a crucial benefit, ensuring that pressure washers start up quickly and operate efficiently even in sub-zero temperatures.
Cleaner Burning and Reduced Engine Wear
- HVO is a clean-burning fuel, with zero sulphur content, which means reduced particulate build-up and less engine wear over time. This results in lower maintenance costs and a longer lifespan for pressure washing equipment.
Improved Storage and Handling
- HVO fuel’s consistent molecular structure means it is less likely to be affected by water or bacterial contamination, which can be a significant issue with regular diesel. This makes it a more stable, reliable fuel option for businesses that require robust and efficient pressure washing solutions.
