Case Biodiesel Blends for Construction Equipment

Case Construction Equipment announced it has approved the use of B20 blends (20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel) for more than 85 percent of its construction equipment. In June 2006, Case became the first construction equipment manufacturer to approve the use of B5 blends.

Case is proudly leading the construction industry to help lower customers' fuel costs and make a positive impact on the environment,

said Jim Hasler, vice president, Case Construction Equipment, North America.

Using biodiesel to power Case equipment reduces our dependence on foreign oil and increases our U.S.-based energy production. Plus, biodiesel has the potential to save customers money.

Biodiesel, which is produced from vegetable oils or animal fat derived from renewable resources, is used in various processed mixes with standard petroleum diesel. This alternative fuel is credited with having the ability to lower exhaust emissions and help reduce dependence on imported oil.
