Hills continues CO₂ reductions with Salisbury HVO roll out

Hills Waste Solutions’ commercial transport depot at Amesbury, near Salisbury is the latest site to change from diesel to sustainable Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) - a move which will reduce fuel-related Carbon (CO₂) emissions by up to 90%.

As Nathan Carr, Hills Waste Solutions’ Divisional Fleet Manager commented: 
“Following the successful introduction of HVO at our Bristol depot, operations from our Amesbury Recyclables Management Facility, will now also be fuelled using HVO. 

Our commercial refuse vehicles servicing the city of Salisbury and the surrounding area, plus our JCB Telehandler and the Liebherr LH24 now use HVO fuel. This change will help contribute to cleaner air for our commercial customers and the residents of Salisbury - and will also create a more pleasant working environment for our employees, who operate the plant and machinery within the facility itself.”

Neil Pollard, Divisional Director – Commercial Waste Management at Hills Waste Solutions added: 
“Changing to HVO, which is derived from 100% renewable raw materials and sustainable waste, is another example of our commitment to operating sustainably - which already includes route planning to minimise mileage and driver training to ensure that vehicles are driven in a careful manner to help optimise fuel efficiency.”

“This move isn't just about Hills Waste Solutions; it's about supporting businesses in the Salisbury area that share our commitment to sustainability. By utilising HVO powered vehicles, we're enabling businesses to reduce their end-to-end environmental impact, not just within their own operations, but as part of their sustainability commitments applied to their supply chain.”
