When I worked on fridges our lot never bothered trying to buy red once the rules changed, it was just too difficult and there were too many hoops to jump through. They merely renewed the trailer fleet for ones with engines that were massively more fuel efficient l
A rogue haulage operator could have a 2000 to 3000 litre storage tank in their yard or on agricultural land then fill the lorries from the tank.
Yep. Yearsleys did the same. Still have the pumps saying trailer only like 
but all the same stuff.

Yeah, as far as I know all the big fridge operators did the same. It just wasnāt worth the hassle.
Thereās a big gap from Lancashire up to the Glasgow area for these HGV freight charging hub sites, does this mean owt going north from Lancashire to Scotland will be on the railways.
nah!
It means that itās already been decided that Haggisland is gonna leave the union. No more cross border freight.

That Iveco S-eway loaded, cruises uphill without a sweat & recoups 580kw in regeneration going down the other side of the hill. 
Electric trucker is finding some downsides with the new Iveco S-way in that it doesnāt have a stand-alone cab heater, There is a ācamping/hotel modeā in the infotainment system, but the software hasnāt been set up for it just yet.
You can leave it switched on in āready modeā to use the heater/fan, but the trouble with that is the lights stay on & you have to lower the air suspension fully to stop the air compressor kicking in.
The charging sites there are chaotic at times as shown in this episode.
Geely owned Farizon vans are in Blighty & very nice they look too.
