Federal Express Corporation, the world's largest express transportation company, announces its transition to using biofuels in linehaul trucks at three UK sites as of this month.
More than 170 trucks - all tractor-trailer combinations - will now refuel with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) across FedEx locations in Parkhouse (80 tractors), Marston Gate (54 tractors), and Atherstone (38 tractors). Thanks to a two-year agreement with supplier, Crown Oil, FedEx has secured the purchase of at least four million litres of the fuel annually.
