The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
Passenger trains are being fuelled by vegetable oil for the first time in the UK, a train operator has said.
These are the first two paragraphs.
Chiltern Railways began using hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) to power some of its fleet on Thursday.
HVO is made mostly of used cooking oils and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%, compared to diesel.
Note.
- There are thirty-four Class 68 locomotives in the UK and they are powered by Caterpillar diesel engines.
- There are also ten Class 88 locomotives in the UK and thirty Class 93 locomotives on order for the UK.
As the Class 88 and Class 93 locomotives , are in the same family as the Class 68 locomotive and all have Caterpillar diesel engines, I feel it is reasonable to assume that all these locomotives can run on HVO.
