BWT Alpine to run European logistics on Enilive HVOlution

Key highlights
  • HVOlution will fuel vehicles transporting the team’s cars and infrastructure during European Formula One rounds.
  • The product will be available through over 1,700 Enilive service stations and refuelling will be managed via the Multicard system.
  • HVOlution is a pure HVO produced at Enilive biorefineries in Venice and Gela, mainly from used cooking oils and animal fats, and is drop‑in for existing engines.
  • Enilive reports an average 79.5% reduction in CO₂eq across the full supply chain for its 2025 HVO versus the reference fossil mix.

Deployment

BWT Alpine Formula One Team will use HVOlution to power its logistics vehicles transporting cars and infrastructure during European rounds of the FIA Formula One World Championship. Refuelling will be handled via the Multicard system and the team’s logistics fleet will be equipped to use exclusively HVOlution over the coming weeks.

Fuel and emissions

HVOlution is a pure hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) diesel biofuel produced at Enilive biorefineries in Venice and Gela, mainly from waste and residues such as used cooking oils and animal fats. It is a drop‑in fuel that does not require modifications to engines or distribution infrastructure. According to Enilive, the average reduction in CO₂eq emissions across the entire supply chain for its 2025 HVO was 79.5% versus the reference fossil mix used in the EU Renewable Energy Directive calculation.

Partnership context and comments

The agreement was developed under the broader partnership between Eni and the BWT Alpine Formula One Team, in which Eni is the team’s Official Energy and Fuel Partner and the parties are collaborating on future biofuel development for motorsports. Enilive CEO Stefano Ballista said the move strengthens the partnership and contributes to decarbonising the team’s logistics; BWT Alpine Executive Advisor Flavio Briatore described the project as deepening collaboration built on trust.
