REHAU has improved the end-to-end sustainability of its district heating business by switching to powering 85% of its lorries with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) in partnership with CEVA Logistics.
CEVA has invested to make the availability of HVO more widespread across the UK and Europe, helping companies to improve the sustainability of their deliveries and reduce CO2e emissions by approximately 90%.
CEVA Logistics has worked with REHAU for over four years, having completed over 2,500 deliveries for REHAU’s Water Technologies division so far this year, travelling over 210,000 miles while using HVO, representing 85% of CEVA’s overall REHAU district heating pipe deliveries.
Sales & marketing director at REHAU, Steve Richmond, said: “Businesses have a responsibility to examine the full lifecycle of products and work to minimise their environmental impact. From manufacturing pipework for low-carbon applications with 100% renewable energy to minimising the impact of delivery and installation. Using hydrotreated vegetable oil is one of many ways we’ve worked to futureproof our operations.”
