Tipp county council to trial vegetable oil as fuel for its fleet of vehicles
Tipperary county council is currently trialing the use of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) in 10 of its fleet of vehicles including vans, tipper trucks, and sweepers.
HVO is a diesel replacement produced from waste oils which emits up to 90% less Carbon Emissions and it is hoped that they will perform well on trial as part of plans to cut down on carbon emissions produced by the council's fleet of vehicles which are currently in operation around the county.
