Parcel Delivery Firm Makes Switch to Biodiesel
(Biofuels International) DPD will switch its entire diesel HGV fleet to Gd+ HVO in conjunction with integrated energy provider Essar and Green Biofuels.
Gd+ HVO is a direct drop-in replacement for diesel, developed by Green Biofuels and is defined as renewable and sustainable under the EU’s RED II legislation.
Gd+ HVO can be used in any diesel engine without the need for modifications or capital expenditure. It is approved by vehicle manufacturers, and there is no degradation in performance.
DPD will begin switching its 1,600 strong HGV fleet to Gd+ HVO immediately, and following a four-month trial, the company aims to convert 60% of its vehicles within 2022 – reducing emissions by 70,282 tonnes compared to 2021.
The remaining vehicles will switch by the end of 2023. Gd+ HVO will be delivered directly to DPD’s onsite tanks nationwide by existing bulk fuel supplier Essar. READ MORE
