Building foundations specialist Van Elle has converted two of its new tractor units to run on an environmentally friendly dual fuel. The Pinxton, Nottinghamshire-based firm's two Daf CFs will use a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and diesel mix.
The company has also just purchased a Volvo FH12 Globetrotter unit along with two flat trailers and a low loader.
Van Elle, which has sites at Pinxton, Gateshead and East Dereham, is opening an operating centre at its branch in Sheffield.
The company has a restricted O-licence and a mixed fleet of 27 vehicles across the locations. Andy Slatcher, Van Elle transport manager, says: "With the conversion of the Dafs, we hope we are doing our bit for the planet and reducing our carbon footprint.
