While the automotive and fleet sector focuses on alternative fuels and EV fleets, people often overlook the role fuel additives can play in reducing emissions and fuel consumption. The existing vehicle parc in the UK consists predominantly of diesel, with local authorities using over 100 million litres of diesel fuel per year.
