For commercial fleets in Toronto, choosing the right fuel is about more than just cost. With growing environmental regulations and tighter margins, many businesses are asking: Should we switch to biodiesel, or stick with regular diesel?
Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide.
1. Environmental Impact
- Biodiesel: Produces fewer greenhouse gases and particulate emissions, making it a cleaner choice for businesses focused on sustainability.
- Diesel: Higher emissions but still widely used, especially for heavy-duty vehicles.
2. Engine Compatibility
- Biodiesel: Most engines can run on blends like B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% diesel) without modifications.
- Diesel: Works in all diesel engines without any adjustments.
3. Cold Weather Performance
- Biodiesel: Can thicken in very low temperatures, which may require winterized blends.
- Diesel: Better cold weather performance.
4. Fuel Availability in Toronto
- Biodiesel: Increasingly available, but not as widespread as diesel.
- Diesel: Easy to source anywhere.
5. Cost
- Biodiesel: Prices vary, but incentives for cleaner fuels can make it competitive.
- Diesel: Generally stable and predictable pricing.
So, Which One Should You Choose?
- Go Biodiesel if you want to reduce emissions and meet sustainability goals.
- Stick With Diesel if your fleet operates in extreme cold or remote areas where biodiesel isn’t easily available.
