Hassle-free Tours
Keen to reduce their carbon footprint and help conserve the Canterbury high country they showcase, this tourism operator looked for alternatives to petroleum diesel – and found biodiesel a perfect fit with their business, brand and fleet.
Description of facility:
They began to run their fleet on biodiesel blends in late 2007, and for over a year the
vehicles ran on B60 (a 60% blend of biodiesel with 40% ordinary diesel). Although
that fuel worked very well, changes in the pricing structure of biodiesel meant
it became more cost effective to run on B20 (a 20% biodiesel blend), which they
switched to in 2009.
