As a result, around 700,000 litres of fossil diesel fuel will be replaced each year by 100-percent renewable fuel. VALTRA is one of the world’s leading trac- tor manufacturers. When the tractors roll off the assembly line, the first fuel is added to their tanks. As of this March, all new Valtra tractors will be tanked with Neste MY Renewable Diesel, as will the forklift trucks that operate in the factory. Neste MY is produced from 100-percent renewable waste and residues, so it pro- duces up to 90 percent less greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil diesel fuel. The reduction in emissions achieved by using renewable diesel corresponds to the remov- al of almost 560 cars from our roads for a year or approximately 46,000 tractor hours without emissions annually. The quality of the new renewable diesel is excellent, and its cold-start properties are sufficient for even Arctic conditions. Re- newable diesel can be used in tractors and forklift trucks as such without any additives and without having to make any changes to today’s engines. By beginning to use Neste MY, Valtra is strengthening its role as a responsible and in- novative manufacturer. Thanks to Neste MY, each new Valtra tractor will be delivered to customers with a 100-percent renewable fuel of the future that is refined according to the principles of the circular economy and part of whose raw materials comes from farmers like themselves. Nine out of ten new tractors manufactured at the Valtra factory are exported to over 75 countries around the world.
