Simulation basis: 850-vehicle reference fleet. HVO100 carbon intensity factor: 0.30 kg CO₂e/L (ISCC certified, lifecycle). B30 factor: 2.15 kg CO₂e/L. Phase progression assumes successful sourcing in Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, South Africa (Phase 1), expanding to 20 additional countries (Phase 2–3). Price premium offset assumes partial funding via EU Green Fleet financing. Real results depend on actual procurement, supplier quality, and logistics feasibility per country.
