Pride off the North at Crewe Gresty Bridge Depot
Nuclear Transport Solutions livery Class 68 No.68006
Seen at Crewe Gresty Bridge Depot.
The green livery design for Direct Rail Services Class 68 No. 68006 showcases the environmental benefits of rail freight and how a diesel locomotive can reduce emissions by using HVO fuel.
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, or HVO, is a replacement for traditional diesel and has been found to be one of the cleanest fuels on the market.
The advanced materials eliminates up to 90% of carbon and nitrogen oxide as well as carbon monoxide emissions.
68006 is named “Pride of the North” as a tribute to the work that DRS do in Northern England and Scotland.
A trial is currently being run using HVO fuel in Class 66s and the Class 68 has joined it in the trial.
“Rail is already 76 per cent less polluting than road and if successful this trial will show that using this type of fuel rail can play a huge part in the UK in achieving net carbon zero.
