The Heritage Fleet, featuring 15 key cars aged from 1968 to 2021, will be filled with SUSTAIN Classic Super 80 - a second generation bio-fuel created using 80% agricultural waste, such as straw, by-products and waste from crops which wouldn’t be used for animal or human consumption.
None of the cars required modification to run on the petrol, which can be used by any standard petrol-fuelled vehicle.
The fuel offers a reduction of at least 65% in greenhouse gas emissions when compared to fossil fuels.
With a 98-octane rating and bio-ethanol content of 1%, SUSTAIN Classic has been technically tailored for classic vehicles.
It’s also formulated with a premium additive package included, which stabilises and extends the life of the fuel and helps clean and protect the engines.
David Richardson, director at Coryton, said: “Sustainable fuels are here and ready to go to help tackle emissions from the existing fleet of classic and modern cars on our roads – and can be scaled up relatively quickly if needed. Every kilogram of CO2 we avoid adding to our atmosphere, by replacing fossil fuel with sustainable fuel, is a win. We don’t instantly have to go for the full switch to start making a genuine impact. As more feedstocks become available, these fuels will start to contain even higher levels of traceable sustainable elements.”
Jeremy Thomson, managing director, Mazda Motors UK, said: “It’s great that we can highlight the potential sustainable fuels can play in the future as part of a multi-solution approach to CO2 reduction. While our new car range will feature ever more electrification as part of this multi-solution approach, using a sustainable petrol in our heritage cars is a great way to highlight the role these fuels can have in reducing the environmental impact of the combustion engine cars that will remain on our roads for decades to come.”
