Less CO2 as XPO goes HVO

[ March 26, 2024   //   ]

US-owned logistics operator XPO has eployed hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and electric-powered vehicles in its UK operations. The green vehicles were initially used on test routes covering nearly 3,000 miles in the UK and Ireland, where they reduced CO2 emissions by over 4 tonnes.

Paul Hayes, XPO’s director of asset light solutions, said, “Sustainability is an important strategic pillar for all our customers, and together, we are exploring options to accelerate the supply chain’s decarbonisation. This unique deployment and implementation of alternative fuel technologies in our 4PL operation is a leap forward for our customers on their sustainability journey.”

Dan Myers, managing director – UK and Ireland, said, “It is hugely satisfying to see the expansion of alternative fuels as we continue our journey as a leader in sustainability.”
