Red Sea Global (RSG) has shared that its entire fleet of land vehicles now runs on either electricity or biofuel, including six 8-ton refrigeration trucks and three 3.5-ton refrigeration trucks.
The vehicles, it was shared, serve a wide range of facilities, with biofuel now powering all freight delivery trucks to the destination’s four Red Sea hotels – Turtle Bay Hotel, Six Senses Southern Dunes Resort, and The St. Regis Red Sea and its Nojoom Resort, The Ritz-Carlton Reserve, as well as to the Red Sea International Airport.
The biofuel is produced from cooking oil obtained from local sources in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, emitting only 0.17 kg of carbon dioxide equivalent per litre, compared to 2.7 kg when using conventional diesel fuel.
RSG has also equipped vehicles with a chip to measure the amount of biofuel used daily, enabling fleet managers to analyse and improve fuel consumption.
