The transition toward sustainable energy solutions has become a strategic priority for modern defence organizations. This study evaluates the impact of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and its blends on the performance and emissions of a compression ignition engine (OM 366 LA II), which represents the mid-range logistics vehicles deployed by the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Numerical simulations were performed using the Diesel-RK software and validated against engine manufacturer performance data, achieving a mean absolute torque difference of 0.64%. The results indicate that increasing the HVO fraction reduces brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions.

In recent years, the interest in electromobility among the public has been growing. In order to determine the impact of the development of electromobility on the increase in innovation of the supply network, it is necessary to analyze the situation of the potential use of electric vehicles in the supply network, presenting their advantages and disadvantages. The article presents the characteristics of electromobility in the supply network in the region and the SWOT analysis. Electromobility is becoming a key element in the transformation of the transport sector, contributing to more sustainable and green communities.
