Mercedes-Benz procures 13,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)

March 13 – Mercedes-Benz has placed the largest single order for SAF with a DB SCHENKER customer.

The record-breaking agreement enables the global automotive company to reduce its CO2 emissions by 40,000 tons through the purchase of approximately 13,000 tons of SAF. The biofuel can be used for export air cargo from Frankfurt to Beijing and Shanghai.
