“Truck drivers are maintaining an important role in delivering packages, supplying hospitals and restocking grocery stores during the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Carrie Song, Neste vice president for renewable road transport in North America. “It is critical to keep these vehicles moving with less greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution as we look toward creating a healthier planet for our children, and to create the framework for a green recovery in a post-Covid world.”
Neste plans to continue expanding its renewable diesel footprint on the West Coast. The company says it has already replaced more than 1.6 billion gallons of petroleum diesel in California under the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
