At Sherriffs Plant Hire and Groundworks we are committed to safeguarding the environment and many of our vehicles and much of our plant runs on HVO.
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil
HVO stands for hydrotreated vegetable oil and is a paraffinic diesel fuel.
HVO fuel is an emerging synthetic diesel that’s being utilised by many organisations across many industries for its wealth of benefits. It’s also significantly kinder to engines and our planet than mineral diesel.
Glastonbury Festival has taken the bold move to run its entire production on HVO in a bid to substantially reduce its environmental impact, and hopes that other enterprises will follow its lead.
HVO is ushering in a new era of fuels and is key in helping the UK achieve its 2050 net-zero carbon target.
PLANTOHYD S
Our hydraulic equipment utilises PLANTOHYD S-series oils which are environmentally friendly, high-performance lubricating and hydraulic oils.
They are exceptionally suitable for applications in mobile and stationary hydraulic systems, for which a rapidly biodegradable hydraulic oil is recommended, especially if there is an environmental hazard to the ground, ground water or the surface waters due to leakage (construction, water resources management, agriculture, forestry).
