Western Global, a world leader in the storage of traditional and clean fuels, and Speedy Hire, the UK's leading rental company, have a 25-year partnership, innovating and providing customers with fuel storage that meets the requirements of today, all while addressing the challenges of tomorrow.

"When the fPod was introduced, it transformed site fuel management", says Mike Derome from Speedy Hire. The fPod is a single refuelling point for any site, servicing every fuel user and contractor. The tank comes in sizes from 3,000 to 20,000 litres with transportable and stationary options.

The fPod also has an intelligent fuel management system to ensure constant fuel supply and on-site productivity. Western and Speedy have worked together to enhance the fPod system to:

Give more fuel control
Provide more security
Support with carbon reduction goals.

Working with New Technology to Drive Carbon Reduction Initiatives

Both Western Global and Speedy lead on product innovation to provide customers with low-carbon solutions that are efficient and operate in an environmentally sustainable way.

Speedy is one of the top 2% of businesses in the UK for decarbonisation readiness, with the aim to achieve net zero by 2040 (you can read more about leading the change here).

With an ambitious reduction target, Western Global partners with Speedy to deliver fuel storage that helps towards their carbon reduction milestones. Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) forms a key part of this strategy.

HVO Ready Tanks - Fpod Fuel Management Tank

HVO can support organisations in reducing their carbon emissions by as much as 90% compared to traditional diesel. Western Global is at the forefront of the clean liquid fuel storage market, with storage tanks suitable to support HVO and other next-generation liquid fuels.

The fPod is an HVO-ready tank designed by Western Global. The tank has a Tecalemit Fuel Management system, providing accurate and reliable fuel monitoring control. This is an online system, so you can access a wealth of data from anywhere to help you forecast and minimise your losses.

The fuel management system on Western tanks also allows Speedy to plan deliveries and ensure customers receive the right amount of fuel on each delivery. Fewer deliveries mean fewer miles on the road, helping reduce carbon emissions.

The Benefits of the fPod for Construction Companies:

The fPod fuel management tank allows construction companies to take back control of fuel usage and improve efficiency on site.

Learn more about some of the benefits:

Easy access to fuel onsite (even on limited access remote sites)

Track and monitor fuel levels remotely, and prevent potential shortages on site. The fPod allows you to gain better control and visibility over your fuel, keeping your equipment fully fuelled and ready to go.

Fewer deliveries - Reduced carbon emissions

The fPod allows for a large amount of fuel to be safely stored onsite, decreasing the amount of onsite traffic and fewer deliveries. This can avoid interrupting projects, reduce downtime, and help reduce site emissions.

Drive efficiency - Save time and cost

Waiting around for fuel deliveries and driving to and from fuelling stations costs time and money. With the fPod fuel management tank, you have a better handle on your fuel usage, so you can plan fuel deliveries ahead of time, make better predictions on fuel budget, and reduce labour costs associated with fuel deliveries.
