Unlike conventional diesel, HVO undergoes a hydrogenation process, resulting in a fuel that is free from sulphur and contains fewer pollutants.

Stellantis vehicles with Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines, marked “XTL” on the fuel filler neck, are approved for HVO use, aligning with the company’s environmental commitments.

Some Stellantis models with specific Euro 6 diesel engines, including a range of MultiJet engines and the 3.0 V6 MultiJet, are also cleared for HVO fuel, even without the “XTL” designation.

This compatibility ensures that a variety of Stellantis vehicles can benefit from the advanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions that HVO Diesel offers, the company said.

Also, this month Stellantis has entered into a partnership with Infineon to create advanced power architectures for future vehicles.

Infineon’s PROFET smart power switches will be integral to this initiative, facilitating more efficient power management and the elimination of traditional fuses.

Furthermore, Stellantis and Leapmotor have revised their strategy regarding electric vehicle production. The collaboration will no longer produce a second EV model at the Polish facility.

Instead, they are assessing the Eisenach factory in Germany and the Trnava plant in Slovakia for the production of the B10 electric crossover.

This decision aligns with guidance from the Chinese government advising against investments in certain European regions.
