In a significant stride towards reducing carbon emissions, Maxus UK has announced that its entire Deliver range of diesel vehicles is now fully compliant with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel. This development enables drivers and fleet operators to reduce their carbon footprint by up to 90% immediately, providing a sustainable solution for businesses not yet ready to transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
Maxus already offers a wide range of electric vehicles, but this move ensures that businesses reliant on diesel can make meaningful environmental progress now. HVO is a renewable, sustainable fuel made from sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and waste materials. It can be used in existing diesel engines without requiring modifications, offering the same performance and efficiency as conventional diesel.
Mark Barrett, Managing Director at Harris Group, emphasized that this advancement gives businesses a practical, interim solution: “While EVs are the future, we recognize that not every business is ready to make the switch today. HVO compliance offers fleets an immediate path to significantly lower their emissions while they prepare for a longer-term transition to electric.”
How HVO Benefits Businesses
The introduction of HVO compliance across Maxus UK’s diesel lineup represents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on sustainability. HVO fuel can be used without any changes to a vehicle’s engine, and when used in its purest form, it can cut CO2 emissions by up to 90%. For companies looking to reduce their environmental impact, HVO offers an immediate solution.
One challenge to note is the current availability of HVO at UK service stations. While it is not yet widely distributed, businesses can purchase it in bulk and store it on-site for refuelling. This extra step is a small price to pay for the environmental benefits HVO brings, particularly for companies working towards carbon reduction targets.
