• Up to 90% emissions cut: Trial shows potential to reduce GHG emissions in land transport across APAC.
• No infrastructure overhaul needed: Neste MY Renewable Diesel is drop-in ready for existing diesel engines.
• Major regional milestone: First use of Neste’s renewable diesel for road transport in Singapore.

Neste and DB Schenker have joined forces to accelerate low-emission logistics in Asia-Pacific, kicking off a trial that marks the first use of Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ for road transport in Singapore. The collaboration aligns with both companies’ net-zero strategies and focus on scalable, immediate-impact solutions.

The trial, which ran from December 2024 to February 2025, demonstrated that DB Schenker could switch to renewable diesel without modifying vehicles or distribution infrastructure.
Neste MY Renewable Diesel, a drop-in replacement for fossil diesel, is compatible with all diesel engines—simplifying adoption at scale.

Singapore’s land transport sector contributes around 15% of the nation’s carbon emissions. Neste’s solution offers up to 90% GHG emission reductions over the fuel’s life cycle, showcasing a viable route to decarbonize logistics fleets.

“This collaboration with DB Schenker marks the first time Neste MY Renewable Diesel has been used for road transport in Singapore and it demonstrates the crucial role that this renewable solution can play in DB Schenker’s sustainability journey,” said Ee Pin Lee, Head of Commercial APAC, Renewable Products at Neste.
“We are committed to expanding our collaboration in Singapore and beyond with DB Schenker, and contribute towards a lower-emission logistics sector.”

The partnership builds on prior collaborations in Finland, where DB Schenker already uses Neste MY Renewable Diesel in its light distribution vehicles. They also co-piloted a high-power charging service for heavy-duty vehicles—evidence of their shared commitment to a multi-pronged approach to sustainability.

“DB Schenker is committed to conducting its business with the smallest possible ecological footprint,” said Christoph Matthes, Senior Vice President, Head of Land Transport in APAC at DB Schenker.
“We hope to transform our whole industry together with our partners and customers with the use of renewable diesel as a viable solution for decarbonizing our land transport operations in the region.”

The expanded partnership signals a new benchmark for transport decarbonization in APAC—delivering immediate emissions reductions without complex retrofits or technology overhauls.
