Evri trials diesel replacement
THE DELIVERY company Evri (formerly Hermes UK) is trialling Green D+ HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), a 100% renewable diesel replacement derived from waste and residue oils.
The trial is designed to validate claims of a 90% plus reduction in emissions and assess the need to use more volume than diesel due to its ‘lower calorific content’.
Green D+ HVO can be used in standard diesel vehicles without any modifications, the fuels can be mixed so tanks don’t need to be cleaned if they need to switch back to diesel. The team at Evri will be using it for its local HGV fleet at Brooklands instead of traditional diesel and submitting findings.
