GB Railfreight has begun a new programme of fuel additive trials in partnership with Fuelcare, a specialist in industrial fuel biocides and additives and Treyarnon Consulting.
The trial will assess whether the additive can enhance diesel engine performance, reduce emissions and extend the distances GBRf locomotives can travel between refuelling.
Running over two weeks until 22 March, the initiative represents one of the largest fuel additive trials undertaken by any rail freight operator in the UK. If successful, the results could support further improvements in operational efficiency across GBRf’s locomotive fleet and build on the business’s commitment to a greener and more sustainable railway.
