Neste and Google have also decided to cooperate in the field of cleaner traffic.

"Both Neste and Google share the notion of focusing on things that are not just relevant now but also in the future. The promise of technology can make our world much better for us and our children. A good example of innovation for our future is Neste's NEXBTL renewable diesel fuel that Google has decided to use on selected gBus fleets," says Jesper Stormholt from Google. 

"We are happy that we can help Google reduce their carbon footprint with our low-carbon NEXBTL renewable diesel.
