Navigating The Future of Commercial Vehicles: A Balanced Approach with Vertellus UK

The commercial vehicle sector is evolving rapidly, with businesses exploring multiple pathways to sustainability. While electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining momentum, Diesel and Alternative Fuels like Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) continue to play a critical role in fleet operations. At Vertellus UK, we recognise that every business is at a different stage in its sustainability journey, and we’re here to support you at every step.

A Multi-Fuel Approach to Fleet Sustainability

1. The Ongoing Role of Diesel Diesel remains the backbone of many commercial fleets, especially for long-haul and heavy-duty applications. With advancements in cleaner diesel technologies and the introduction of Euro 6 standards, businesses can continue to operate efficiently while reducing their environmental impact.
2. HVO as an Immediate Sustainable Alternative Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is emerging as a viable drop-in replacement for traditional diesel, offering up to 90% lower CO2 emissions without requiring major modifications to existing vehicles. HVO provides a practical stepping stone for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint without transitioning fully to electric.
3. The Growing Potential of Electric Vehicles EV adoption is increasing, with improvements in battery technology, charging infrastructure, and total cost of ownership benefits. Electric vans and HGVs are becoming more viable for urban and regional operations, making them an attractive option for businesses looking to future-proof their fleets.
