Kitchen manufacturer Moores is stepping up its sustainability efforts by transitioning its entire HGV fleet to run on renewable biodiesel, reinforcing its commitment to reducing carbon emissions across operations.
By switching to HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), Moores says is will cut CO₂ emissions by up to 90% while significantly lowering nitrogen oxide, particulate matter and carbon monoxide emissions. This change is equivalent to removing 45,000 cars from the road, making a substantial impact on air quality and environmental health.
Moores has 30 HGVs in its fleet and made the transition without requiring any modifications to its vehicles, demonstrating that sustainable solutions can be both effective and practical. The company says this move not only supports its green initiatives but ‘also sets a strong example for the industry in embracing cleaner, more responsible logistics’.
David Lomax, head of distributions and installations at Moores, said: “This is a real game-changer for us. Our investment in HVO underlines our commitment to our environmental and social responsibility. Within the next three months we expect over half of our deliveries to customers will be made by vehicles using HVO, saving over 1m tonnes of CO₂ per annum. By the end of the year all our vehicles will run on biofuel, which means in 2026 we will have reduced our carbon footprint by over 2m tonnes.”
