Marks & Spencer (M&S) is adding 20 trucks powered using biogas to its supply chain fleet, as part of its vehicle portfolio with DHL Supply Chain.
The Volvo’s FH Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tractor unit models with Globetrotter cabs will be used to transport M&S products across the retailer’s routes in Peterborough, Swindon and Castle Donington, replacing pure diesel models.
An 80% reduction in tailpipe emissions is expected to be delivered through the introduction of the trucks, which will be powered using bio-based LNG.
DHL last year began sourcing bio-LNG from Shell, which produces the fuel from agricultural waste, to power trucks for Danish pump manufacturer Grundfos.
