Neste and DB Schenker, one of the world’s leading logistics service providers, have partnered to expand the use of Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ in the Asia-Pacific region. This collaboration highlights the companies’ shared commitment to advancing lower-emission logistics solutions.

As part of the initiative, a trial was conducted between December 2024 and February 2025, marking the first use of Neste MY Renewable Diesel in Singapore to power DB Schenker’s land transport operations. Since the renewable diesel serves as a direct replacement for fossil diesel and is compatible with all diesel engines, the transition required no additional investment or modifications to vehicles or fuel distribution infrastructure.

The land transport sector contributes approximately 15 percent of carbon emissions in Singapore. By adopting Neste MY Renewable Diesel, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by up to 90 percent over the product’s life cycle compared to fossil diesel. The successful trial demonstrated the feasibility of using renewable diesel to support DB Schenker’s efforts in reducing emissions from its land transport operations.

According to Ee Pin Lee, head of commercial APAC, Renewable Products at Neste, this collaboration marks a significant milestone as it represents the first use of Neste MY Renewable Diesel for road transport in Singapore. He emphasised Neste’s commitment to expanding cooperation with DB Schenker both in Singapore and beyond to contribute to a lower-emission logistics sector.

Christoph Matthes, senior vice president, head of Land Transport in APAC at DB Schenker, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to minimising its ecological footprint. He stated that the decision to expand the adoption of Neste MY Renewable Diesel aligns with DB Schenker’s sustainability goals and its ambition to transform the industry by promoting renewable diesel as a viable solution for decarbonising land transport operations in the region.

Neste and DB Schenker have already collaborated successfully in Finland, where DB Schenker has utilised Neste MY Renewable Diesel in its light distribution vehicles in Helsinki and Turku. Additionally, the two companies have partnered to pilot a high-power charging service for heavy-duty vehicles in Finland.
