DP World UK launches HVO fleet owner trial

DP World UK has launched a Low Carbon Truck Programme Trial, providing UK HGV fleet owners with an opportunity to trial Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).
In partnership with leading renewable fuel providers, the programme supports businesses in making tangible progress on their sustainability journeys.
Under the scheme, fleet owners can claim up to 5,000 litres of HVO for the price of diesel for every vehicle that moves through either London Gateway or Southampton port over 90 times within each three-month qualifying period using the Vehicle Booking System (VBS).
Claims are capped at a maximum allocation of 50,000 litres or 10 vehicles per group of companies per port.
Participating companies will also be asked to attend a free eight hour carbon literacy training workshop to strengthen understanding of carbon emissions, reporting and decarbonisation strategies tailored to the road freight and logistics industry.
This initiative forms part of DP World’s wider commitment to lead by example in climate action and supporting our partners in meeting Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions targets. The programme is currently scheduled to run for 28 months.
