Are there enough diesel vehicles capable of handling a richer biodiesel blend?
Yes. The automobile industry has stated that all German diesel cars can run without problem on biodiesel blends of up to seven per cent. Many cars imported into Germany from other European countries and from Asia are even designed for blends of up to 30 per cent. In the commercial vehicle sector, all manufacturers from Daimler Benz to Volvo have given their unrestricted blessing to biodiesel (B100). With the available biodiesel capacity, and by taking suitable measures, we could even expect to achieve a 17 per cent blend.
