Neste Oil announced that on June 21, 2015, a team of motorsport enthusiasts will drive from Florida's Atlantic shoreline to California's Pacific coast on a single tank of NExBTL renewable diesel.
Kaisa Hietala, executive vice president of renewable products at Neste said "One team is taking a different approach to this long-distance challenge: drive coast-to-coast on one tank of fuel that is made of completely biobased raw materials. We believe this may be a first time for this type of trip."
Among the participants joining the event is Tanner Foust, a U.S. Rallycross champion. Other participants include top officials of CLP Motorsports. The car to be used is a Superlite Coupe (SLC) custom-built by CLP Motorsports with a modified Volkswagen 1.9-liter diesel engine.
