RAC trials HVO to run seven of its HQ-based recovery trucks
As part of its strategy to reduce carbon emissions the RAC is trialling 100% renewable hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as an alternative fuel to power its recovery trucks.
The RAC has chosen Certas Energy – the UK’s largest distributor of fuel and lubricants – as its HVO supplier. Its HVO is made from 100% renewable raw materials and sustainable waste from verified vegetable fats and oils, making it ideal for use in both on and off-road commercial vehicles and machinery.
RAC fleet manager Matt Hilliar said: “This is an exciting project which will deliver both environmental and business benefits. If the trial continues to be as successful as the early indications show, we will explore using HVO more widely.”
