Truck operators switching their fleets to Bio-LNG can benefit from an immediately available alternative fuel with a resilient supply chain, which is cheaper than diesel and can reduce carbon emissions by more than 80%. That was the message over 100 delegates heard at an event to celebrate Gasrec’s latest open-access refuelling facility at Hams Hall, a major industrial and logistics hub in North Warwickshire.
Attendees were invited to ‘Fuel & Feast’ at nearby Shustoke Barn, where they heard from a line-up of guest speakers and enjoyed a tour of the Hams Hall site, including a demonstration of the simple refuelling process.
“It’s been fantastic to show existing customers, prospective new ones and industry colleagues our latest large-scale, open-access facility,” said Rob Wood, chief executive at Gasrec. “We’re proud of the refuelling station and it is already seeing a strong throughput of gas trucks every day, which will only continue to grow as more local operators make the transition from diesel.”
Strategically located near the M6 and M42, Hams Hall officially opened its doors at the end of 2025 and will fuel up to 1,000 trucks daily at full capacity.
During the event – which was supported by Volvo Trucks UK & Ireland and local dealer Hartshorne Group – attendees learned more about the station build process, how Gasrec selects new sites and its plans to meet the growing demand for biomethane.
Richard Wilson, inbound logistics director at Arla Foods, guided attendees through the journey of switching to Bio-LNG. He highlighted the success of moving increasing numbers of his fleet to Volvo gas-powered trucks, which is helping the UK’s biggest dairy co-operative to hit its 2030 sustainability targets.
