Bracknell Forest Council’s parks and countryside rangers will be able to go about their work in an eco-friendlier fashion thanks to hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), according to the council.
HVO fuel will now be used in two of the ranger team’s diesel-powered vehicles, a move which should lead to a reduction in carbon emissions.
Cllr Guy Gillbe, cabinet member for planning, transport and countryside, that the switch was ‘a major step’ towards making the council’s rangers' operations greener.
‘The team is dedicated to working in the most sustainable way and continues to look at projects that go above and beyond to do this, alongside the routine work they do to protect and develop our borough’s environment.’
