Volvo has unveiled a range of truck engines that have been adapted to run on green fuel. These engines can be powered by a range of fuels, from synthetic diesel to a mixture of hydrogen and biogas. The company added that its engines and the proposed fuels do not add carbon dioxide to the environment.

The company unveiled its engines and in the same breath added that they could not go into production owing to the lack of commercially available fuels for these engines. Volvo Chief Executive Leif Johansson said in a press conference that more needed to be done by politicians and energy firms to ensure the commercial availability of renewable fuel.

The company has made this move to alleviate fears of energy companies that if they came up with such a fuel, there wouldn’t be any engines to run. Leif Johansson added:

We are not very far from there today. There have been two concerns from the fuel industry. One has been that there won’t be any vehicles ready if they develop these fuels. We have tried to address that worry today.
