Fuel distributor Certas Energy has launched its £1.2m HGV refuelling bunker site in Warrington’s Omega business park: the first addition to its company network in five years.
Now fully operational, the 24/7 site near Junction 8 of the M62 represents a major improvement to transport infrastructure in the north west of England, says the company.
It offers hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) – one of 17 bunker sites owned by Certas to do so – diesel and AdBlue.
And it boasts high-speed refuelling capabilities, with nozzles dispensing up to 120 litres per minute.
Additionally, Certas says the bunker has been fitted with “industry-leading on-site safety measures”, including CCTV monitoring and anti-skimming devices.
The opening was attended by industry representatives, including the Road Haulage Association and the AA, local politicians, including the Mayor of Warrington, Councillor Mo Hussain and ward council member, Councillor Stuart Mann.
Mike Heaton, head of estate development at Certas Energy, says: “Opening the Omega site with the support of local politicians and transport representatives marks an important step forward in our strategy to expand and modernise our nationwide bunker network while also making lower-carbon fuels like HVO more accessible to UK fleets.
“The location was chosen based on strong customer demand in the Warrington area, with around 14,000 HGVs and a further 21,000 LCVs passing Junction 8 in either direction each day. Its prime position makes refuelling easier, faster, and more secure for drivers across the region.”
