Calor Gas is installing a 4,000-litre tank at Omega Express's Vauxhall depot so the vehicles can be refuelled on site. Omega Express operates 3,500 vehicles, 2,000 of which are vans and appropriate to run on LPG, but in the competitive courier business gas must prove itself to be a winner in the wholelife cost stakes before the company makes a larger commitment.
Currently 86% of Securicor Group's fuel bill is tax - £40 million out of its £47 million fuel spend - so the beneficial duty rates for LPG and the widening differential with petrol and diesel should make it a cost-effective option for the company.
