Bosch has announced it is trialling a renewable form of diesel, with the company seeking to determine whether the technology could eventually be adopted on a wider scale. The fuel, which was developed by Neste and is called CARE diesel, is mainly synthesised from by-products and waste materials, reducing the emissions of traditional vehicles by 65% from well to wheel. While the product is currently not available at filling stations in Germany, Bosch revealed that it has been using it to power its chauffeur-driven cars for board members as it assesses the feasibility of the technology.
