DEUTZ recommends AGQM Biodiesel

In its latest release, DEUTZ AG reports on the state of release for the use of biodiesel as pure fuel. The release lists the engine series for which biodiesel has been permitted as pure fuel and the future TCD 2015 series, for which the release has been announced for 2010.

DEUTZ AG underlines that exclusively biodiesel complying with specification DIN EN 14214 must be used. Users are therefore recommended to make a careful choice of the suppliers and of the necessity of obtaining a letter of guarantee from their suppliers that the specification of DIN EN 14214 will be met. In this context, DEUTZ recommends to its customers in Germany to „provide additional safety of the quality of biodiesel by obtaining a certificate of AGQM (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Qualitätsmanagement Biodiesel e.V.)“.

AGQM understands this recommendation as a special recognition of its activities for providing complete quality assurance for biodiesel as pure fuel both in farming and the transportation sector. AGQM welcomes the commitment by DEUTZ AG with these releases to provide a forward-looking option for changing to biodiesel. AGQM shares the view held by DEUTZ AG that rising prices of mineral oil will finally make the use of biodiesel an attractive alternative.

DEUTZ AG is one of the world’s largest producer of diesel engines for commercial vehicles.
