Standing, a pioneer in eco-friendly luxury coach transport, is taking another step towards greener mobility with the introduction of its new coaches running on Oleo100 fuel, based on rapeseed. This innovation combines high-end comfort with increased environmental awareness, redefining the standards of luxury transport. Oleo100 technology: A French revolution The engines of the Standing luxury coaches now use innovative technology allowing them to run on Oleo100, a 100% vegetable and biodegradable fuel. Produced by the French group Avril, Oleo100 is made entirely from rapeseed grown in France, thus being part of a completely local and sustainable approach. Engine operation:
- Fuel injection: Oleo100 is injected into the engine in a similar manner to conventional diesel.
- Optimized combustion: Combustion occurs at slightly lower temperatures than diesel, reducing the formation of harmful particles.
- Natural lubrication: The natural lubricating properties of rapeseed help reduce engine wear.
- Minimal Adaptation: Existing engines require little to no modifications to use Oleo100, making the transition to this greener technology easy.
A significant ecological impact: The use of Oleo100 in Standing coaches has many environmental advantages
- Drastic reduction in emissions: Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by 60% compared to conventional diesel engines.
- Complete biodegradability: In the event of accidental spillage, the impact on the environment is minimal.
- Circular economy: The production of rapeseed for Oleo100 is part of a circular economy approach, using renewable and local resources.
- Crit’Air 1 Certification: Standing coaches are the first luxury vehicles to obtain this certification, making them eligible for circulation in the future low-emission zones of Greater Paris.
A 100% French approach Oleo100 reinforces Standing’s commitment to the local economy:
- Local cultivation: Rapeseed is exclusively cultivated on French territory.
- National transformation: Fuel production is carried out in France, at the Saipol sites.
- Storage and distribution: The entire logistics chain, from storage to use, remains on French soil.
Economic and practical benefits Standing’s adoption of Oleo100 offers benefits beyond the ecological aspect:
- Support for French agriculture: The use of French rapeseed directly supports national farmers.
- Energy independence: This approach helps reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports.
- Preserved performance: The coaches maintain their level of performance while reducing their environmental impact.
- Easy transition: Oleo100’s compatibility with existing engines allows for a smooth transition to a greener fleet.
A global commitment to the environment The use of Oleo100 is part of a broader approach by Standing to reduce its ecological footprint. The company also trains its drivers in eco-driving, thus optimizing fuel consumption and further reducing the environmental impact. By choosing Standing for your luxury coach travel, you are not only opting for exceptional comfort, but also for an environmentally friendly journey. This is proof that luxury and ecology can go hand in hand, paving the way for a more sustainable future in the high-end transport sector.
