Our Fuel Tankers Ensure Any Delivery Size, Anywhere in the UK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crown Oil has a large fleet of fuel tankers that are perfectly suited to deliver our wide range of fuels and lubricants straight to your oil storage tank.  From baby tankers to articulated lorries, we can supply any amount of oil to any home, business or construction site located in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our oil delivery trucks travel up and down the country, 365 days a year, ensuring businesses and off-the-grid homes receive the fuels, oils and lubricants<\/a> they need to stay warm and keep their operations running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a leading fuel and lubricants supplier, our fuel truck fleet is perfectly suited to make oil deliveries to every corner of the UK. We’re also a trusted supplier of fleet fuel services<\/a> for businesses across the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/span>

\n

Our entire tank fleet runs on HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of our transition to becoming the UK’s leading alternative fuels supplier, we are proud that our whole tanker fleet is powered by Crown HVO fuel<\/a>, our advanced renewable diesel fuel that reduces greenhouse gas CO2<\/sub> emissions by as much as 90%. HVO fuel<\/a> can be put directly into our DAF tanker vehicles, with no need for adaptations and performs faultlessly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuelling our entire delivery fleet on HVO saves approximately 3,000 tonnes of net CO2<\/sub> from our footprint each year and has been a key driver in reducing our direct Group emissions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span>
