Maxus UK has announced that its entire Deliver range of diesels is now 100% HVO fuel compliant.
The drop-in fuel can now be used across the entire Maxus line-up, enabling drivers and operators to lower their carbon emissions by up to 90% immediately.
Maxus also offers a full range of electric vehicles and this latest development in HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) compliance ensures that even those businesses not yet ready for EV adoption can make significant strides toward reducing their environmental impact.
Mark Barrett, managing director of group franchise at Harris Group, which distributes Maxus across the UK and right-hand-drive Europe, said: “At Maxus, our primary goal is to offer low-emission vehicles to drivers and businesses without compromising on performance. We already have a comprehensive range of commercial and passenger EVs available for those ready to make the switch to electric.
“However, we recognise that adopting electric driving is not feasible for all businesses at this time. That’s why we are thrilled to announce that Maxus diesel vehicles are now fully HVO compliant, providing businesses with a sustainable interim solution. This allows fleets to immediately benefit from significant carbon reductions while planning their longer-term transition to electric driving.”
HVO works as a drop-in fuel that can be used in existing HVO-compliant diesel engines without the need for any engine or vehicle modifications. Derived from renewable and sustainable sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and other waste materials, it can be used either on its own or blended with conventional diesel, delivering the same performance and efficiency.
When used in its purest form, HVO can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional diesel, providing an immediate way to reduce a company’s environmental footprint. However, it’s not widely sold at service stations across the UK, and businesses may need to purchase HVO fuel in bulk and to store on their premises for refuelling purposes.
