A Cleaner, Drop‑In Fuel for Fleets on the Road to Net Zero

TSG UK enables fleet operators to transition to HVO by providing the equipment and technical support needed for safe and efficient dispensing. Our work ensures that existing fuel infrastructure continues to deliver reliable performance as operators move towards cleaner, lower‑carbon fuels.

What is HVO?

HVO is a renewable diesel made by hydrotreating waste oils and fats to create a clean, stable fuel that can be used in any diesel engine. Unlike traditional biodiesel blends, HVO does not absorb water, degrade in storage or cause issues in cold weather. It burns more efficiently, produces fewer harmful particulates and offers a reliable, low‑carbon solution for heavy‑use fleets.

Because it is chemically similar to fossil diesel, HVO can be used in the same vehicles, stored in the same tanks and dispensed through the same pumps, allowing fleets to switch without operational disruption.

Local authority fleet solutions

Why Fleets Are Switching to HVO

Fleets across logistics, construction, local authorities and plant operations are moving to HVO because it delivers:

  • up to 90% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions
  • a direct drop‑in replacement for standard diesel
  • immediate carbon savings without upgrading or re‑engineering vehicles
  • improved air quality at depots and worksites
  • stable and reliable performance in all seasons
  • a cleaner burn that helps protect engines and fuel systems

HVO allows operators to act now, rather than waiting for the full transition to electric or hydrogen.

Environmental Performance

HVO plays a central role in helping organisations meet their environmental targets. It offers a significant reduction in lifecycle emissions compared with fossil diesel and reduces particulate matter that contributes to poor air quality around depots, forecourts and urban areas.

By switching to HVO, operators can strengthen their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting and support Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions targets with a fuel choice that delivers measurable progress from the first delivery.

Operational Advantages for Commercial Fleets

HVO has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable alternative fuels available today. Its benefits include:

  • excellent cold‑weather performance
  • long storage life without the risk of microbial growth
  • reduced engine smoke and odour
  • smoother combustion that can help maintain engine health
  • suitability for HGVs, vans, off‑road plant and generators

For fleets with demanding duty cycles or 24/7 operations, HVO provides a dependable low‑carbon solution that fits into existing processes without compromise.

Infrastructure and Compatibility

One of the strongest advantages of HVO is that it integrates seamlessly with existing diesel infrastructure. There is no need for:

  • new storage tanks
  • new pumps or pipework
  • modifications to vehicles
  • updated fuel management systems

Fleets can use HVO as a complete replacement or mix it with standard diesel at any ratio. The switch is simple, controlled and operationally seamless.

A Practical Step Before Electrification

Many fleets are committed to reaching net zero, yet still face short-term constraints. Electrification is advancing, but heavy transport, long‑distance haulage, off‑road machinery and specialist vehicles often require an interim solution.

HVO offers the ideal bridge. It allows operators to reduce their emissions today, without waiting for full electrification of vehicles or charging infrastructure. It supports continuity, protects service levels and demonstrates environmental responsibility while long‑term strategies continue to develop.

How TSG UK Supports Fleets Transitioning to HVO

TSG UK helps organisations adopt HVO with confidence by ensuring that their existing fuel infrastructure is prepared for the switch. Our teams evaluate tanks, pumps, piping, and fuel management systems to verify compatibility and make any necessary adjustments for safe and efficient operation.

TSG installs and maintains the equipment that supports HVO use across fleet depots, including dispensers, monitoring systems and storage solutions. With nationwide engineering coverage, TSG offers ongoing technical support to keep operations running smoothly.

By working with TSG UK, operators can transition to cleaner fuel with minimal disruption and complete assurance that their equipment is fit for purpose.

Sectors that Benefit from HVO

HVO is already proving its value across a wide range of industries, including:

  • logistics and distribution
  • construction and plant hire
  • local authorities and waste management
  • emergency services
  • retail delivery fleets
  • agriculture and horticulture
  • airports and logistics hubs

Its flexibility makes it suitable for mixed fleets and complex operations where reliability is essential.

Start Reducing Emissions Today

HVO delivers immediate, measurable reductions in carbon emissions without altering vehicles or infrastructure. For fleets seeking a practical, reliable and cost‑effective way to move towards net zero, it offers a powerful solution that is ready now.
