In the UK, DP World UK launched a unique Low Carbon Truck Program Trial, providing UK HGV fleet owners an opportunity to trial Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a cleaner, renewable diesel alternative. In partnership with leading renewable fuel providers, the program supports businesses in making tangible progress on their sustainability journeys. Under the scheme, fleet owners can claim up to 5,000 liters of HVO for the price of diesel for every vehicle that moves through either London Gateway or Southampton port over 90 times within each three-month qualifying period using the Vehicle Booking System (VBS). Claims are capped at a maximum allocation of 50,000 liters or 10 vehicles per Group of Companies per Port.
Participating companies will also be asked to attend a free eight-hour carbon literacy training workshop to strengthen understanding of carbon emissions, reporting and decarbonization strategies tailored to the road freight and logistics industry.
This initiative forms part of DP World’s wider commitment to lead by example in climate action and supporting our partners in meeting Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions targets. The program is currently scheduled to run for 28 months.
