The UK’s Luton airport has completed a multi-million-pound investment in a fleet of sustainable car park transfer buses and operational vehicles.
The investment forms part of Luton’s sustainability strategy, which aims to deliver net zero scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by 2040, the airport said.
The new buses are powered by ISCC (International Sustainability Carbon Certification) certified hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), a lower-carbon alternative to diesel that can save up to 90 per cent of carbon emissions across the fuel’s lifecycle.
Alongside the transition of all airside vehicles to HVO and an increase in the number of electric vehicles, Luton’s investment in the buses means almost two thirds of the airport’s operational fleet will be electric or running on low-carbon fuel by the end of 2024, the company claims.
