We’ve received a 5-star rating from the ECO Stars Fleet Recognition Scheme!
We’re proud to reveal that we are now a member of the ECO Stars Fleet Recognition Scheme after receiving the highest rating of 5-stars. This award acknowledges our commitment to improving our operational efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of our vehicle emissions.
What is the ECO Stars Fleet Recognition Scheme?
The ECO Stars Fleet Recognition Scheme is a free, voluntarily scheme that was established in 2009 in South Yorkshire when four local councils (Barnsley, Doncaster, Sheffield and Rotherham) wanted to tackle local air quality issues caused by transport, particularly HGVs, buses, vans and coaches.
Many operators were already taking big steps to reduce the impact of their operations so ECO Stars wanted to recognise their efforts with a rating and while provide practical and expert advice on how to make improvements.
ECO Stars has since been extended to other UK council areas and several cities across Europe.
How have we reduced the emissions of our delivery fleet?
Since 2012, we’ve been offsetting all the emissions released from our delivery vehicles. Whilst we recognise that offsetting is worthwhile when used in conjunction with other carbon reducing initiatives, it is not a long-term solution.
That’s why in June 2021 we took our environmental efforts one step further and switched our entire delivery fleet to run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO fuel), a 100% renewable diesel alternative that cuts net CO2 emissions by up to 90%. This further demonstrates our commitment to the environment and reduce the environmental impact of our operations. You can learn more about the benefits of HVO fuel here.
Supporting our customers
Speedy Fuels is guiding our customers through the transition to cleaner fuel sources, supporting them in reaching their sustainability goals while being accountable and transparent with our own progress.
How we can help you cut your vehicle emissions!
At Speedy Fuels, we not only look for ways to reduce the environmental impact of our operations; we also help others to follow in our footsteps by offering fuel switching services that enable our customers to achieve their environmental targets. Our sustainable fuel solutions, such as HVO fuel, can help reduce the net emissions of your fuel by up to 90% without the need to invest in new equipment or engines as it is completely miscible with regular diesel.
While you may top up your diesel-filled tanks with HVO fuel, for the greatest environmental benefit we recommend that you remove and replace your old diesel with our fuel uplift service. We make switching to HVO easy, safe and non-disruptive to your operations by conducting a thorough site assessment, allowing our experienced fuel experts to carry out the uplift and tank clean as quickly as possible ready for the new fuel.
You can receive a 5-star rating too!
If you run a vehicle fleet, you can sign up to the scheme and receive personalised support to help improve the efficiency of your fleet and reduce your carbon emissions. A tailored roadmap action plan is developed for each new member, and by following the recommended steps from ECO Stars, you can progress through the star ratings.
