Aldi to supply HVO to over 30% of UK truck fleet

Aldi announced on September 27th that it plans to convert more than 30% of its HGVs in the UK to run on Hydrogen Vegetable Oil (HVO), or renewable diesel.

The conversion has already been successfully implemented at distribution centers in Cardiff, Swindon and Neston, involving more than 160 vehicles.

It is expected that the adoption of HVO will enable the supermarket to reduce its carbon footprint significantly by approximately 15,432 metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year. HVO is effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions as an alternative to diesel compared to conventional diesel.
