Fuel Saving
Up to 5% reduction targeted, lowering costs and CO₂.
Monthly Baseline
24,000 litres used; a 5% cut equals 3,200+ kg CO₂ saved per month.
Trial Scope
Two vehicles, monitored over 3–6 months with fuel-per-km tracking.
Trial Announced
Runcorn-based luxury coach company Anthony’s Travel is trialling FuelActive’s floating fuel pick-up system, as part of a drive to cut fuel consumption and reduce carbon emissions across the fleet. The family-owned business, which operates 15 coaches throughout the North West and beyond, is committed to reducing its environmental impact, with the whole fleet already meeting the latest Euro 6 emissions standards.
RHA Connection & Motivation
The two companies were introduced when Cardiff-based FuelActive joined the Road Haulage Association (RHA), of which it is now a Gold Member. Anthony’s Travel director Richard Bamber is a member of the RHA’s Northern Regional Council and he was keen to hear more about the innovative fuel pick-up system, which has been proven to save operators up to 5% in fuel consumption. Given the rapidly rising cost of diesel over the past few months, all operators are looking to reduce consumption.
Trial Scope
The company is initially installing the FuelActive system on two of its vehicles, including the coach that has experienced fuel contamination in the past. Fuel consumption and service requirements will be closely monitored over a 3–6 month period, with the company assessing fuel used per km travelled and driver feedback.
