DERV or Diesel
Diesel, also known as White Diesel or DERV (Diesel Engine Road Vehicle), this fuel is the universal fuel for your fleet from small delivery vehicles to HGVs. Diesel is also ideal for any plant and machinery.
DERV is suitable for helping your fleet of vehicles get where they need to go. You can buy your fuel in bulk, delivered directly into your storage tanks or you can supply your drivers with Fuel Cards to fill up when on the road.
Red Diesel or Gas oil is a rebated fuel, as such can only be used for certain applications.
HVO
HVO, or hydrotreated vegetable oil, is a cleaner burning fuel solution with a long shelf life: our HVO is properly sourced and verified. HVO is made from 100% sustainable waste. It can help your haulage business cut carbon emissions by 90% and is fully compliant with EN15940 standards. As a drop-in paraffinic fuel, HVO is an easy solution to reducing vehicle produced pollutants. Certas Energy has introduced HVO to its own fleet, and is able to provide significant volumes to the haulage sector, and has all the resources you need to support your business on the journey to net zero.
As the largest distributor of fuel and lubricants in the UK, with 40 years’ experience supplying high-quality fuel to businesses nationwide, you can count on Certas Energy to deliver HVO whenever and wherever you need it.
AdBlue
AdBlue® reduces harmful nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines to ensure vehicles meet legislation requirements. AdBlue is a highly purified, colourless liquid and when injected into the catalyst of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, it triggers a chemical reaction with the ammonia. This then converts toxic nitrogen oxide (NOx) into nitrogen (N2) and water vapour (H20) that are harmless to the environment.
While there are cheaper alternatives available on the market, it’s important to use a product that meets the required standards. We supply customers with market-leading GreenChem and Yara Air1 AdBlue which is compliant with ISO 22241. AdBlue can be purchased in cans, barrels, IBCs and bulk and with our national distribution network we can keep your business moving every day of the year.

DERV Fuel FAQs
The price of DERV changes daily due to influences from the global oil market, so it’s impossible to publish fixed DERV prices online.

Transport vehicles are required to perform all year round, in any weather. Regular road use can be demanding on engines and vehicle parts, which is why lubricants can make all the difference to the function and lifespan of your fleet. Hydraulic oils, engine oils, greases and coolants help to maintain HGVs and deliver increased efficiency and improved output for optimum productivity.
There are a number of new fuels that can help your haulage business reduce C02 emissions. HVO – hydrotreated vegetable oil is a cleaner-burning, fully sustainable drop-in fuel that also offers a long shelf life. GTL Fuel is a gas-to-liquid oil that reduces levels of pollutants with no compromise on performance. For heating purposes, Therma35 industrial heating oil (IHO) can be used for commercial purposes and, at time of writing, carries no fuel duty, which offers significant savings.
