Audi has approved many of its models' six-cylinder diesel engines for use with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as part of the firm’s transition to becoming net climate neutral by 2050.

Since mid-February, selected new Audi models with V6 TDI engines up to and including the firm's range-topping 282bhp unit can be driven on HVO. The models include the Audi A4, Audi A5, Audi A6, Audi A7, Audi A8 and the Q7 and Audi Q8 SUVs.
