In an article from EDIE, automaker JLR (Jaguar Land Rover) and tyre manufacturer Pirelli have announced that they have collaborated to roll out natural rubber tyres made using materials certified through the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) sustainability label.

It demonstrates that commodities, including wood and rubber, have been harvested from projects with no net deforestation and with robust consideration for nature preservation and conservation.

On the back of this announcement, Michelin have announced that they are swapping diesel for hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel for its radial logistics fleet based out of Stoke-On-Trent. The fleet consists of 50 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) which will collectively use around 400,000 litres of HVO annually. No doubt the trend will spread globally.
