As sustainability becomes a priority for businesses, logistics providers are under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint. XPand Logistics is leading the way by adopting HVO fuel, a renewable diesel alternative that supports sustainable logistics and helps clients achieve measurable carbon reduction.
What Is HVO Fuel?
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a high-quality, renewable diesel made from sustainable feedstocks such as used cooking oils, animal fats, and other waste residues. Through a refining process called hydrotreatment, HVO is transformed into a clean, reliable fuel with performance comparable to traditional diesel.
Unlike conventional diesel, HVO can reduce lifecycle CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, making it an immediate solution for companies looking to decarbonise their fleets.
Why XPand Logistics Uses HVO
XPand Logistics chose HVO fuel to balance environmental impact with operational efficiency. HVO is a drop-in replacement, meaning it can be used in existing diesel vehicles and machinery without costly modifications or downtime.
Key benefits of HVO include:
- Significant carbon savings – up to 90% reduction in net CO₂ emissions
- Cleaner air – lowers particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions
- Reliability – stable performance in all conditions, including cold weather
- Ease of integration – compatible with current fleet operations
By adopting HVO, XPand Logistics not only improves our own environmental performance but also helps clients meet ESG and sustainability targets across their supply chains and services.
Our Trusted HVO Supplier
XPand Logistics sources HVO from Certas Energy, one of the UK’s leading independent fuel distributors. Certas Energy provides ISCC-certified HVO with full feedstock traceability and verified greenhouse gas savings, ensuring supply chain transparency and sustainability compliance.
HVO Fuel and Sustainable Logistics
HVO is an essential tool in reducing Scope 1 emissions – the direct greenhouse gases generated by fleet operations. XPand Logistics’ use of HVO demonstrates a practical, commercial approach to sustainable logistics, allowing businesses to cut emissions immediately without investing in entirely new vehicles or infrastructure.
In addition, HVO contributes to lowering Scope 3 emissions across the supply chain, further supporting a holistic decarbonisation strategy and enhancing corporate ESG credentials.
XPand Logistics’ Commitment to a Low-Carbon Future
XPand Logistics continues to explore innovative solutions that combine efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. By integrating HVO into fleet operations, XPand is not only reducing emissions today but also paving the way for a low-carbon logistics future.
Whether for road, sea, or air transport, XPand Logistics ensures that sustainable practices are seamlessly integrated into everyday operations, supporting businesses in their journey toward Net Zero.
