LOCAL fuel additive supplier Advanced Nanotechnology has announced that the Envirox diesel fuel additive, which is manufactured by Oxonica, will be added across the UK-based Stagecoach Group’s New Zealand 1,000-strong bus fleet over the next month. Advanced Nano produces cerium oxide dispersion, which is a key component of Envirox.
This latest agreement follows announcements that Advanced Nano had secured roll-out of the additive later this year across the bus company’s UK bus fleet of 7,500 buses, and an announcement made by the Independent Philippine Petroleum Companies Association regarding the introduction of the Diesel Premium Plus fuel in the Philippines.
According to Advanced Nano, testing of the product has shown it to decrease fuel consumption by more than 5 per cent and also reduce vehicle emissions.
