Commercial Transport & Logistics Fuel Storage: Bunkering, Fleets & Yard Efficiency

In haulage and passenger transport, diesel and AdBlue® represent one of your largest ongoing operational expenses. Bunkering fuel on-site allows hauliers, bus operators, and distribution fleets to buy in bulk at wholesale prices, control daily refuelling, and protect against volatile forecourt costs.

The Fleet Bunkering Math: Real Cost Savings

A single HGV averaging 10 MPG covers roughly 100,000 miles per year, consuming over 45,000 litres of fuel. Buying fuel in bulk for on-site bunkering typically yields savings of 3p to 8p per litre compared to retail forecourts or fuel cards.

• Savings per HGV: Up to £1,360+ per year on fuel alone.

• 50-Vehicle Fleet: Annual savings exceeding £68,000, delivering a rapid return on investment (ROI) on your storage tank installation.
