Anthony’s Travel | 9.7T CO₂ Cut per Vehicle
Proven savings and lower emissions for a leading UK coach operator.
Proven results
The Challenge
FuelActive and Anthony’s Travel were introduced through the Road Haulage Association (RHA), where Director Richard Bamber was keen to explore the innovative fuel pick-up system as diesel costs continued to rise. Consuming around 24,000 litres each month, the company had long sought ways to cut fuel use — but previous promises of fuel additives had failed to deliver.
At the same time, fuel contamination was hitting reliability. “One coach in particular, we’ve had a lot of issues with contamination, costing us thousands in repairs,” said Bamber.
The Solution
Anthony’s Travel began with a trial installation of FuelActive on six vehicles, including the problem coach. The floating pick-up draws only the cleanest fuel from the tank, avoiding water and sediment that normally collect at the bottom. This not only improves combustion efficiency but also protects the engine from costly damage.
Following the successful trial, the system was rolled out across the entire fleet of coaches and bulk fuel tank. Installation takes just 45 minutes per vehicle, with no impact on warranty, and is guaranteed for five years.
"If we can see a long-term improvement in mpg and more efficient running of the vehicles, that will be a big success."
