Foodservice Distributor - 3663 |
Convert2Green has worked with foodservice distributor 3663 and vehicle manufacturer Scania, to establish the most efficient bio-diesel mix for their delivery fleet.
Convert2Green has supplied over 3 million litres of bio-diesel to 3663 in the past year, which has saved the equivalent of over 7000 MT of C02 compared with mineral diesel.
Convert2Green works in close partnership with 3663 in the identification of waste oil supply and collection from 3663’s customers and suppliers and in researching other ways of carbon saving in their business. |

Vehicle Manufacturer - Scania |
Scania have worked with 3663 and Convert2Green to analyse the different fuel blends that can be used in their vehicles and the service regimes that accompany these.
In conjunction with 3663, this has allowed a Scania fleet to run a B30 mix, with no resultant changes in servicing regime.
Scania are happy to warranty their engines to a B100 mix, should that be required. |
