1,000 OLEO100 customers

1,000 customers in 4 years: the Oleo100 team takes stock.

Article written on 16 February 2023
In February 2023, Saipol’s “B100”, the French leader in oilseed and protein crop processing and a subsidiary of Avril, reached the significant milestone of 1,000 users across France, just four years after its launch. A symbolic milestone for the Oleo100 brand, which is now entering a new phase in its rollout.

– THE SUCCESS OF A FRENCH SOLUTION: FROM FARMERS TO TRANSPORT OPERATORS

“Oleo100 is an alternative and renewable fuel that is now firmly established among transport professionals,” explains Claire Duhamel, Managing Director of Oleo100. “Although there is still a long way to go, these stakeholders are genuinely becoming more aware of the need for an energy transition, and more and more of them are putting their trust in us.”

Throughout the entire lifecycle of its Oleo100 energy, Saipol is committed to supporting all the agricultural and industrial stakeholders across the country:

  • Made from rapeseed grown by farmers in France,
  • Produced at Saipol’s plants in France,
  • Stored in French-made tanks thanks to our partner boilermakers,
  • Used by French transport professionals,
  • Distributed mainly by transport operators running on Oleo100.

Saipol is thus reaffirming its commitment to local employment in support of French protein and energy sovereignty. A commitment that makes a difference in a renewable energy market as competitive as today’s, and one that is proving its value to French transport operators.

– AN OBJECTIVE: CONTINUE INVESTING IN SERVICE OF THE EARTH AND OUR CUSTOMERS

“Reaching 1,000 clients is a source of pride; it honors us, but it also places an obligation upon us.”
Claire Duhamel, Director, Oleo100 Business Unit

With Oleo100, Saipol is reaffirming its commitment to supporting freight and passenger transport operators in their energy transition by offering the most competitive solution on the market that is eligible for the Crit’Air 1 sticker and therefore provides access to Low Emission Zones (LEZs).

Saipol is therefore continuing to invest in improving its customer service in order to support Oleo100’s leading position and secure B100 supplies every day.

This includes investments in production facilities, the supply chain and loading processes. In this regard, on February 9, Saipol inaugurated a new Oleo100 loading rack at the Le Mériot plant (10).

By taking action now to combat climate change while promoting the development of local value chains, the Oleo100 solution is aligned with the Purpose of Avril, “Serving the Earth”. This collective and committed approach also reflects our strong determination to serve each of our customers as effectively as possible, every day.
