The Tank Museum in Dorset, UK, has announced that its popular M548 troop carrier rides will continue to run on renewable diesel.
The M548 troop carrier rides – which run throughout the day during school holidays – clock up the highest mileage of any of its historic vehicles, using about 20 litres of fuel a day.
The switch to renewable diesel will reduce the carbon emissions of this fuel by 65 – 90%.
Workshop manager, Duncan Masters, said: “It is important to us to do everything we can to be sustainable and reduce our impact on the environment, and it’s brilliant to see ideas like this put into action by the team.
“As well as the renewable diesel, we have been trialling the use of a sustainable petrol. So far this has been limited to the Hotchkiss Jeep, but we will be evaluating other vehicles over the winter period to investigate which may be able use this fuel next year.”
