New Era Energy is said to have the largest distribution network of renewable fuels and customers of both companies are expected to benefit from access to a wider range of products and services from the newly formed organisation.
Commercial Fuel Solutions was founded in 2007 and has established itself as an independent supplier of AdBlue, with one in 50 heavy goods vehicles (HGV) on the road benefitting from its lower carbon intensity products. In recent years, it has developed expertise in the use of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel, with its hydrogen bowser concept for refuelling mobile equipment and a hydrogen combustion generator, which can provide sustainable electricity at remote and temporary work sites.
James Hunt, CEO of New Era Energy, said: “Acquiring Commercial Fuel Solutions is an exciting development for New Era Energy and a key ingredient of our ongoing transition to a more sustainable future. We will benefit hugely from CFS’s world-class expertise in handling hydrogen as a fuel and its experience as the UK’s leading independent distributor of AdBlue.
New Era Energy has constantly innovated and adapted to ever changing market conditions during its 105-year history and we intend to continue our growth. This latest development complements our leadership position in sustainable HVO fuel, giving the customers of both companies an enhanced offering to assist them in meeting their sustainability targets and goals. Customers for both brands will have continuity, continuing to work with the same team, but with access to a broader range of products and services.”
Robin Futcher, founder of Commercial Fuel Solutions, said: “Our customers will benefit from a wider range of products and services, as well as the enhanced delivery network that comes from working with an organisation the size of New Era Energy. The future of more sustainable fuelling solutions is bright with Commercial Fuel Solutions as part of the New Era Energy family.”
New Era Energy was founded in 1919 and was originally a lubricant supplier, before specialising in fuels as the market changed. In 2023, the company rebranded as New Era Energy to reflect its transition to a sustainability focused business.
