Mammoet, a global leader in transport and heavy lifting, announced it will begin implementing HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) fuel at its operations in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Canada starting in the second quarter of 2025. This decision positions Mammoet as a pioneer in developing more sustainable solutions for the transport and heavy lifting sector.

The impetus behind this investment responds to a growing demand for low-carbon solutions from Mammoet’s customers and is part of the company’s ambitious carbon reduction program.

HVO is a substitute for conventional diesel, made from vegetable oils and animal fats, capable of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 90% over its lifecycle. By adopting HVO, Mammoet not only achieves an immediate reduction in its carbon footprint but also paves the way for a future zero-emission operation, complementing this strategy with the use of grid power, batteries, and, in remote projects, hydrogen-based solutions.

Mammoet’s goal is to use HVO100, made from 100% renewable raw materials, to the greatest extent possible. Thanks to its compatibility with most existing diesel engines and its ability to blend with traditional fuels, the transition will be immediate.

The adoption of HVO has required significant change management programs within the organization, including infrastructure adaptations such as its internal network of fuel stations, which supply its fleet of trucks, mobile cranes, and self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs).

HVO will be supplied to Mammoet stations in the Netherlands, its bases in Hixon and Teesside in the United Kingdom, and its branches in Canada. In addition to reducing its own environmental impact, Mammoet will be able to offer its customers specific solutions for projects where emissions reduction is a priority.

This sustainability advancement builds on Mammoet’s other recent investments, including electric SPMTs, large battery-powered ring cranes, and various electric equipment acquisitions.
