Stihl presents MotoMix 100, a fully bio-based fuel for two-stroke engines. This enables more sustainable operation with significantly reduced CO₂ emissions.
With MotoMix 100, Andreas Stihl AG & Co. KG is the first manufacturer of power tools to introduce a special fuel for two-stroke engines made entirely from bio-based raw materials . The premixed fuel consists of 55 percent biogenic raw materials certified by the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) and 45 percent ISCC-certified recycled biomaterial.
This product development demonstrates that more sustainable operation of gasoline-powered two-stroke engines is possible, thus significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions during operation. The fuel mixture ensures the proven performance, engine lubrication, and operational reliability known from MotoMix – but with 60 percent lower carbon dioxide emissions compared to the fossil reference value for gasoline (73,4 grams of carbon dioxide equivalents per megajoule according to RED (EU) 2018/2001).
MotoMix 100 also burns with exceptionally low residue, guaranteeing clean engine operation. It contains no ethanol or virtually all olefins and aromatics. MotoMix 100 will be offered in a limited edition in 2026 under the name Centennial Edition to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Andreas Stihl AG & Co. KG.
Andreas Stihl AG & Co. KG is a globally active manufacturer and technology leader in the field of power tools . Since its founding in 1926, the family-owned company has supported work in forestry and agriculture, landscaping, construction, and private households with its battery-powered and gasoline-powered equipment.
