Luxury carmaker Bentley Motors has furthered efforts to reduce the carbon output from its operations at the Crewe plant in the UK and reports an 81% reduction in absolute CO2 emissions per vehicle made.
The measures taken include using renewable fuel for on-site transport, the generation of green energy to supply factory operations, the installation of the UK’s largest solar car port, and charging points for the Bentley hybrid and electric vehicles made at the plant.
Bentley has installed a 34,000-litre renewable fuel tank on site for delivery trucks and other non-electric site traffic. The Green D+ fuel reduces tailpipe CO2 emissions from logistics vehicles by over 86% compared to regular diesel, according to the carmaker. Verified Carbon Standard offsets are applied to fleet vehicles and generators still running on normal fuel.
