What is HVO100?

HVO100, or Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, is a 100% renewable, fossil-free diesel alternative made from waste and residue materials like used cooking oil. Through a unique hydrotreating process, these materials are transformed into a clean-burning, efficient fuel that’s fully compatible with certified diesel engines – including the powerful engines in our Ferris mowers.

HVO100 reduces up to 90% of lifecycle CO₂ emissions compared to traditional diesel, without any modifications needed to your Ferris mower

Discover the power of Ferris' top mowers designed to deliver outstanding performance while running on HVO100. Both the IS® 6200 Diesel Zero Turn Mower and the IS® 2600 Diesel Zero Turn Mower are fully compatible with HVO100 fuel, providing you with a sustainable, high-powered solution for all your landscaping needs..


Why run your Ferris Mower on HVO100?

  • Seamless Integration

    HVO100 is a drop-in solution for Ferris mowers, meaning no adjustments or upgrades are needed. Switch effortlessly to a sustainable fuel that works perfectly with your existing equipment.

  • Eco-Friendly Performance

    HVO100 reduces greenhouse gases and particulate matter, making it safer for operators and better for local air quality.

  • Extended Engine Life

    With cleaner combustion, HVO100 reduces carbon build-up, resulting in less maintenance and extended longevity for your mower’s engine.

  • Ready for All Conditions

    Unlike some other fuels, HVO100 performs reliably in cold weather and is stable for long-term storage.

Clean fuel, responsible origins

HVO100 is produced using advanced refining techniques that transform renewable waste materials into high-quality diesel fuel. Unlike some other biofuels, HVO100 is 100% palm oil-free, so it doesn’t contribute to deforestation or harm ecosystems.


HVO100 vs. Electric: The sustainable edge for heavy-duty mowing

  • No Upfront Investment

    Electric mowers with equivalent power specs can be up to three times more expensive than HVO100-compatible Ferris models. Additionally, batteries in electric mowers have limited lifespans and may need replacing after a few years, making HVO100 a more cost-effective long-term solution.

  • No Downtime for Charging

    Unlike electric models, which require long charging breaks, Ferris mowers running on HVO100 can operate continuously, making them ideal for large projects.

  • Turf-Friendly Weight Advantage

    Electric mowers with similar specs often weigh significantly more due to heavy battery packs. This added weight can cause more turf damage, particularly on softer grounds.

  • Environmentally Smart Choice

    Electric mowers depend on batteries that require rare earth metals, raising environmental concerns around mining and disposal. HVO100, on the other hand, is a sustainable fuel produced from waste oils and residues, making it a genuinely renewable option.

Note: Emission savings depend on the feedstock and producer.
Reputable options such as Neste can yield up to a 90% reduction, but results may vary.


Sustainability without the disruption

Switching to HVO100 is simple, seamless, and hassle-free. As a drop-in solution, HVO100 works perfectly with your existing diesel engines and fuelling infrastructure—no modifications, no extra costs, and no operational disruptions. Just fuel up and go.

But that’s just the beginning. HVO100 has been rigorously tested across more than 50 million kilometers, proving its reliability in diverse conditions. HVO100 offers outstanding stability and storage properties, making it ideal for long-term use. It resists water absorption, remains free of sulphur and aromatics, and retains its high quality over time. Plus, HVO100 performs reliably in the freezing cold, with winter grades staying effective down to -40°C, ensuring uninterrupted operations year-round.

Thanks to its cleaner combustion and ultra-clean composition, HVO100 helps extend engine life and reduce maintenance needs, allowing you to spend more time on the job and less time in the shop. It reduces deposits and protects exhaust systems like diesel particulate filters (DPFs), keeping your equipment running smoothly.

In short, HVO100 delivers clean energy without compromise.
