DP World launches green fuel scheme

[ August 28, 2025   //   ]

DP World has launched a trial programme at its London Gateway and Southampton logistics hubs, to offer truck operators access to low carbon fuel.

With more than 4,000 truck visits per day at its two UK ports, DP World will support at least 500 trucks to transition to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a renewable fuel with up to 85% less carbon intensity than diesel. Truck operators will be able to access the HVO at the same cost as conventional diesel. Every truck that visits a DP World UK port with a loaded container more than 90 times over a three-month period will qualify for up to 5,000 litres of HVO per vehicle per port.

The trial will run into 2027 for truck operators who regularly use DP World’s UK ports with fully laden import or export containers.

DP World has partnered with fuel providers Certas Energy and New Era Fuels to supply the fuel. 

The Programme will be funded by the Energy Transition Contribution which is levied on all Import Laden Containers transiting DP World UK port facilities.
