| 摘要： | Hydrotreated vegetable oil is a drop-in replacement for diesel that is based on recycled waste fats and oils, rather than fossil origins. All to the good, but those environmental benefits come at a cost premium over diesel. Here are three ways fleet operators could reduce that. First, consider customer partnerships. A number of operators have found that their high-profile customers are willing to pay a premium to demonstrate their environmental commitment by making transport operations low-carbon. That's what haulier MJD did in cooperation with customer Coca-Cola, and Howard Tenens Logistics with customer Mole Valley Farms last year. Second, consider bunkering. Operators using fuel cards (which currently would not have access to HVO, as it does not appear to be generally available on the forecourt) may save by buying HVO in bulk. Fleets that stand to gain the most are those that used to hold stocks of red - rebated - diesel for off-road machinery or for trailer fridge units, for example. Since the removal of the rebate in April 2022, those tanks should now be empty. In addition, operators with bunkering could provide customers with a more cost-effective product by mixing unrebated white diesel and HVO in a ratio that produces the best combination of affordability and carbon reduction, since HVO can be mixed with diesel in any proportion. |
