Carbox confirms its commitment to sustainable transport – powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)
Carbox, a company of the Tarros Group, continues its journey towards sustainable transport.
The Carbox fleet, consisting of over 200 Euro 6 trucks, is now also powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a biofuel of plant origin. HVO fuel reduces emissions by over 80% compared to conventional fuel while maintaining high operational performance standards.
This choice aligns with a broader trend that has led to a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 1990*, thanks to the use of renewable energy sources and the transition to lower-carbon fuels.
In the first quarter of 2025, Carbox achieved a 25% biofuel usage rate relative to total fuel consumption and deployed 30 trucks running entirely on HVO.
This result was made possible through the synergy between the Carbox Technical Team and the Tarros Group’s Sustainability Office, in line with the ESG strategy pursued by the Group.
Silvano Maggi, Carbox General Manager:
Throughout its 25-year history, Carbox has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to adapt to market evolution and the new demands of sustainable mobility.
We have invested in innovative solutions that combine environmental sustainability with operational efficiency, enabling us to meet the challenges of an ever-evolving industry. The introduction of HVO represents another step forward in our environmental commitment, while also strengthening our position in the market.By working in synergy with our various Italian locations as well as Carbox Morocco and Carbox Egypt, we are able to offer an increasingly competitive, reliable, and sustainable service. We thank our customers for inspiring us to develop new technologies and intermodal solutions to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.”
