Greencore rolls out HVO-powered fleet to drive sustainability
Greencore, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of convenience foods, has taken a significant step toward a greener future by launching a new fleet of 15 vehicles powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).
HVO is a sustainable fuel made from waste vegetable oils and animal fats.
This initiative is part of Greencore’s broader commitment to environmental responsibility and reducing its carbon footprint across the supply chain.
“The introduction of HVO-powered vehicles is a major milestone in our journey toward net-zero,” said Jeremy Fitton, head of logistics at Greencore.
“By switching to HVO, we’re not only cutting emissions by up to 90%, but also demonstrating that sustainable logistics is achievable today—not just in the future.”
The new fleet will operate across key distribution routes in the UK, supporting Greencore’s mission to deliver fresh, high-quality food with minimal environmental impact.
The decline in rapeseed meal exports has prompted the Union zur Förderung von Oel- und Proteinpflanzen e.V. (UFOP) to strongly oppose the proposed reduction of the cap on biofuels from cultivated biomass.
