Baxi reduces HGV fuel emissions

Baxi has accelerated progress on the road to net zero by eliminating diesel as its standard HGV fuel and switching to hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), reducing HGV fuel emissions by 99%.

Baxi began the transition from diesel to HVO in 2024 and has continued the journey into 2026. The shift resulted in an immediate reduction in monthly emissions.

Dennis Reed, transport operations manager at Baxi, said: “We’re really pleased with how successful and cost-effective the switch to HVO has been.

“We’re seeing better miles per gallon now, meaning that HVO is letting us go further while keeping emissions for the fleet at a bare minimum. It’s also proving to be consistently better for the vehicles with no significant changes needed to maintenance.”
