TG Lynes has installed a 10,000-litre HVO tank at its base in Enfield. Two out of 18 lorries now use HVO over diesel which makes them 90 per cent more carbon efficient.
Andrew Ingram, General Manager at TG Lynes, said: “We’re delighted to have introduced HVO to these two Euro 6 vehicles in our fleet. HVO is much better for the environment than diesel and the projected carbon saving through the course of 2023 is more than 12.5 tonnes. To put that into perspective, an average car would emit the same amount of carbon were it to drive 23,000 miles – or once around the world. TG Lynes is committed to achieving the ultimate goal of net zero by making tangible changes across all areas of the business. This move is just one part of that pledge.”
As well as the HGVs, the delivery fleet also includes 3.5-tonne vans and an electric bike.
TG Lynes’s company vehicles are already 95 per cent hybrid or fully electric and the business has its own EV charge points on site.
