ID Logistics Cuts Transport Emissions by 90% with Renewable Diesel Rollout in Benelux

ID Logistics has reduced CO₂e emissions from its Benelux transport operations by up to 90% after converting its regional fleet of around 400 trucks to HVO100 renewable diesel, marking a major step in the company’s decarbonisation strategy.

The logistics operator has deployed Shell Renewable Diesel (HVO100) across its private fuel distribution stations in partnership with ABC energies, enabling a full transition away from conventional B7 diesel without requiring modifications to engines or existing infrastructure. The fuel is produced from vegetable oils and organic waste residues and is chemically similar to fossil diesel, allowing for immediate operational use across the fleet.

The company said the shift delivers an emissions reduction equivalent to removing nearly 200 vehicles from the road, providing what it described as an immediate and scalable solution to lowering transport-related carbon output while longer-term electrification and efficiency measures continue to develop.

Executives at ID Logistics said the move reflects growing customer and regulatory pressure to reduce supply chain emissions, while still maintaining operational reliability. They added that the adoption of HVO100 allows the company to deliver measurable carbon reductions today while continuing investment in longer-term zero-emission technologies.

The company has also been implementing wider efficiency measures across its network, including optimised hub operations, high-capacity vehicle systems, and early-stage deployment of electric trucks, as part of a broader strategy aimed at achieving long-term emissions reduction targets.

ID Logistics said the transition to renewable diesel represents an important milestone in its pathway towards 2030 climate objectives, positioning HVO100 as a bridging solution ahead of wider adoption of zero-emission transport technologies.
