Case Construction Equipment receives biodiesel approval

Jan. 23, 2022

Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT Industrial), Turin, Italy, stated at the National Biodiesel Conference & Expo, Las Vegas, that it has approved B20 biodiesel for use in its NEF 4, NEF 6 and CURSOR Tier 4 diesel engines. The statement makes all G Series wheel loaders from Case Construction Equipment, Racine, Wis., approved for use with B20 biodiesel directly from the factory.

Wheel loaders in these size classes are used extensively in construction, public works, road and bridge construction, concrete and asphalt production, aggregates and agriculture. The announcement comes after extensive testing by FPT where it was confirmed these engines performed comparably to the same engines powered by off-road diesel. The study highlighted no adverse effects to the engines. This approval is inclusive of the NEF 4 (4.5L), NEF 6 (6.7L), and CURSOR (8.7L) diesel engines already featured in the Case G Series wheel loaders.

B20 biodiesel is the most prevalent blend of biodiesel available in North America.
