Radius to provide HVO fuelling through its UK Fuels network

Radius is adding HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) to its fuel network, enabling its fuelcard customers to purchase the renewable diesel at several strategically located truck stops across the UK.

The diesel substitute will be available from 12 sites, with that to grow to 50 forecourts by the end of the year.

HVO only uses waste products, not virgin crops, making it a highly sustainable fuel source that can help businesses reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%, says Radous.

The announcement comes on the back of Radius’ recent partnership with Element 2, the UK’s hydrogen infrastructure company.

The two companies are working together to develop a network of hydrogen refuelling solutions across Radius’ existing UK Fuels network.

Both additions are part of Radius’ ongoing strategy to enable fleet customers to continue to operate as normal while transitioning to carbon-friendly solutions.

During the upcoming months, Radius says it will be announcing new HVO locations in its customer network updates.  

It will also be able to facilitate deliveries of HVO for customers who have their own bulk storage tanks, allowing drivers to refill sustainably at their own depots, too.

Jonathan Haseler, managing director, UK and Ireland, at Radius, said: “As a company, part of our strategy is focused on enabling sustainable mobility for our customers. This new HVO network further extends our environmentally friendly product offering as businesses transition to a greener fuel solution.

“Together with our recent partnership with Element 2 and our carbon offset programme, Radius Future and our hybrid EV charge cards, we are continuing to find innovative ways to help our customers become more sustainable.”

Customers purchasing HVO with one of Radius’ own-brand UK Fuels cards can manage transactions in the online account management portal, Radius Velocity, alongside their standard diesel, unleaded, and other vehicle-related products spend.

Radius Velocity allows fleet managers to manage their business fuel. Free to all customers, the portal can be used to analyse fuel purchases by driver, location, time and volume with the ability to organise card users into groups.
