Suttons Tankers and Nippon Gases UKI partner to launch HVO fuel trial

Suttons Tankers and Nippon Gases UKI have embarked on a three-month Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) trial.
This collaboration aims to reduce carbon emissions within Nippon Gases' logistics operations.
Last year, Suttons Tankers trialled HVO fuel across a selection of its fleet, achieving an 80% reduction in carbon emissions.
Building on this experience, Suttons Tankers and Nippon Gases UKI are now working together to understand the potential benefits of HVO in their operations.
During the trial, a selected fleet of Suttons Tankers' vehicles based in Stockton and dedicated to Nippon Gases will operate on a blend of HVO.
Rajat Bhardwaj, ESG manager at Suttons Tankers, commented: "This trial builds on our previous success with HVO, and we are eager to see how it continues to reduce emissions. The initial results are promising, and we’re committed to finding sustainable solutions for our customers."
Joanne Rawlinson, supply chain manager at Nippon Gases UKI, added: “We are thrilled to partner with Suttons Tankers on this HVO fuel trial. This initiative aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. The early results are encouraging, and we look forward to exploring the long-term benefits of HVO fuel in our entire logistics operations.”
