bosch_neste_2Propel Fuels, in partnership with Bosch and Neste Oil, helped power California Diesel Days with next generation NExBTL green diesel. Green diesel, also known as renewable diesel, is a synthetic diesel product derived from bio-based oils and fats, and is suitable for use in all diesel motors. This renewable alternative to petroleum improves air quality by reducing particle emissions and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Several of the top-end diesel vehicles displayed at Diesel Days ran on NExBTL.
