A new partnership has begun this week to see if a new fuel additive can help boost diesel engine performance and reduce emissions.

The partnership is between GB Railfreight and Fuelcare, who specialise in fuel biocides and additives, and Treyarnon Consulting.

The additive could also extend the distance that GBRf locomotives can travel before needing to refuel.

The trial will run for 2 weeks until the 22nd March. GB Railfreight says that this is the largest fuel additive trial completed by a freight operator in the UK.

GBRf says that if it is successful, it could support other improvements across the fleet.
