The project will include performance, emissions, fuel consumption and engine durability testing, as well as field testing of LS9’s biofuel in Volkswagen trucks and buses.

LS9 said its UltraClean Diesel has been custom engineered to meet or exceed relevant diesel fuel standards while providing compelling economic and environmental benefits relative to petroleum diesel.

LS9 CEO Ed Dineen said the collaboration with MAN Latin America enables the company to produce cost-effective, high-quality biofuels and making renewable, sustainable biodiesel made from sugarcane and other renewable sugars widely available to global consumers.

MAN Latin America is a Brazilian engineering and vehicles manufacturing company.
