The Epping-based fuel, oil and lubricant supplier is now one of 300 operators nationally to hold the FORS Gold status.
Reg Geggus, CEO of New Era Fuels, says: “We chose to become FORS accredited to help us run our fleet as efficiently and safely as possible, installing the latest safety equipment on our entire fleet to ensure we are doing all we can to minimise our environmental impact.
“FORS Gold accreditation ensures we operate to the highest standards in the industry and helps set us apart from our competitors and increase our customer base, with many companies attracted by our FORS Gold status.”
Geggus adds: “We upgraded our fleet so all are now efficient Euro VI vehicles, and ensured all drivers are trained to use anti-idling driving techniques – in combination with a robust tyre management policy, this has seen our emissions fall sharply and our annual fuel costs drop significantly.”
