HVO has several benefits, the most obvious is a huge reduction in carbon emissions. We’re also seeing significant reduction in nitrogen oxide. Our choice of HVO was based on the fact that it is a ready-to-use alternative, it can be simply added to the diesel tank of a lorry without needing to drain out the remaining diesel from the tank or make any mechanical changes to the lorry. This made it an obvious choice with immediate environmental benefits.
Our Plymouth team took great care in selecting a supplier for the HVO used in the trial, and we made sure that we selected an HVO supplier who guarantee no palm oil is used in its production. We’ve also seen that it has had no negative impact on the performance of our vehicles or the reliability and timeliness of our deliveries.
