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.

"Audi plans to produce its last internal combustion car in 2033", that part is anymore, because the first page that posted it and a lot of them don't say that, and possibly they will also adapt the H2-ICE (hydrogen internal combustion engine) with low NOx and with more efficiency, i hope an ecological world without harm people's taste and environment.

Sounds great, oil from cooking fuels, then you read also from plants. There's no percentage breakdown of the split but I'd expect very little of it to come from chip fat so all the claim does it make it sound green, just how green is cutting down forests in the amazon to grow fuel crops.
