Certas Energy is spending £1.5m to upgrade and redevelop its HGV refuelling bunker estate across its UK network.
The fuel distributor completed a £500,000 refurbishment of its HGV refuelling bunker in Alconbury in Cambridgeshire in May, with drivers now having access to eight high-speed fuel nozzles.
HVO dispensing pumps and associated infrastructure have also been introduced at the site.
Through a partnership with UK Truck Clean, the company has also invested £80,000 to upgrade the drive-through truck wash.
Mike Heaton, head of estate development at Certas Energy, said: “Investment in the existing bunker infrastructure is as important as expanding and building new sites.
“We want to make sure that every location we operate is equipped for the future, including the ability to offer new fuels, while keeping the refuelling process smooth, efficient and comfortable for HGV drivers on UK roads.
“That means modernising fuelling equipment, card readers and improving on-site security measures, such as CCTV, remote monitoring software and hardware fitting anti-fraud devices, whilst maximising uptime of each location.
“We look forward to continuing a phased programme of investment across additional sites throughout the year, building a network that is both fit for today’s demand and ready for the transition ahead.”
Further upgrades to Alconbury’s on-site shop and a Certas Energy rebrand are set to take place in August.
Certas has also expanded its growing truckstop network with the addition of two new sites, with the award-winning facilities and security upgrades from The Stop at The Hollies to be replicated at each location.
