A HGV training school in north east Wales has made the switch to HVO fuel in a move to reduce emissions and work towards a sustainable future. Andy Swan Driver Services, which provides training in Wrexham, Deeside and the north west of England, made the switch to help reduce the company’s carbon footprint. HVO (Hydrotreated vegetable oil) is a biofuel made by the hydrocracking or hydrogenation of vegetable oil.
Known as green diesel or renewable diesel, fuel produced from sources including crops or cooking oils create a substitute from traditional diesel. Andy Swan, managing director at Andy Swan Driver Services Ltd, said: “‘We have listened to feedback from people coming through their programmes, who were concerned about carbon footprint. “Having spent some months investigating our options and working closely with Certas Energy, we have taken a commitment for their alternative fuel supply of HVO.
“This shows that we are continually committed to improving our carbon footprint. “Although we are a small company, we are trying our best to listen to both corporate and private clients to support their values.” Andy and the team have been working closely with transport companies in and around the North-West to understand how they’re working towards reducing their carbon footprint and the HGV training school can also assist.
