Neste empowers DB Schenker to boost adoption of renewable diesel in Singapore and Asia-Pacific
Neste and DB Schenker, one of the world’s leading logistics service providers, have collaborated to work towards expanding DB Schenker’s adoption of Neste MY Renewable Diesel in Asia-Pacific. This partnership underscores the shared commitment of both companies to progress towards lower-emission logistics.
Both companies embarked on a trial which took place from December 2024 to February 2025, in which Neste MY Renewable Diesel was used in Singapore for the first time to power DB Schenker’s land transport operations. As Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a direct replacement to fossil diesel and suitable for all diesel engines, the switch did not require additional investment or modifications to vehicle engines or fuel distribution infrastructure.
The land transport sector accounts for about 15%* of carbon emissions in Singapore. With the use of Neste MY Renewable Diesel, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be reduced by up to 90%** over the life cycle of the product compared to using fossil diesel, effectively demonstrating the feasibility of adopting this lower-emission solution to help DB Schenker reduce its land transport emissions.
“This collaboration with DB Schenker marks the first time Neste MY Renewable Diesel has been used for road transport in Singapore and it demonstrates the crucial role that this renewable solution can play in DB Schenker’s sustainability journey. We are committed to expanding our collaboration in Singapore and beyond with DB Schenker, and contribute towards a lower-emission logistics sector,” said Ee Pin Lee, Head of Commercial APAC, Renewable Products at Neste.
“DB Schenker is committed to conducting its business with the smallest possible ecological footprint. In support of this commitment, we have agreed on expanding the adoption of Neste MY Renewable Diesel. We hope to transform our whole industry together with our partners and customers with the use of renewable diesel as a viable solution for decarbonising our land transport operations in the region,” said Christoph Matthes, Senior Vice President, Head of Land Transport in APAC at DB Schenker.
Neste and DB Schenker have already been working successfully together in Finland where DB Schenker has used Neste MY Renewable Diesel in its light distribution vehicles in the cities of Helsinki and Turku. Neste has partnered with DB Schenker also to pilot high-power charging service for heavy-duty vehicles in Finland.
