Motherwell DC converts to HVO heating fuel

26 January 2023

XPO has completed a pilot programme at its Newarthill distribution centre in Motherwell, Scotland, to replace the site’s heating fuel with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) biofuel.

THE HVO product sourced by XPO is manufactured from waste material.

XPO estimates that switching from heating oil to HVO will save 220,000 kg of CO2 emissions a year from the Motherwell operation. The company operates 100,000 sq ft of the multi-purpose facility as a satellite site for its less-than-truckload (LTL) and dedicated full truckload transport networks, as well as warehouse storage for customer goods and office space.
