By 2009 each of Renault’s diesel engines will be capable of running on a 30% blend of bio-diesel (B30), although whether or not European customers will be readily able to get hold of the fuel is another matter. “We aren’t confident that there will be a decent bio-diesel infrastructure by 2009,” admits Renault’s strategic environment and energy planning manager Phillipe Schulz. ” However when you buy a van in 2009 you will be keeping it for several years, by which time the network should have improved.” The situation is likely to be even worse in the UK, where unlike in France, B30 isn’t even readily available in bulk. For this reason Renault is yet to decide whether it will even offer its B30 Trafic and Master vans in the UK.
