important role to play if the UK is to meet its European
carbon reduction targets.
We are one of the earliest pioneers of dual fuel gas and
diesel vehicles in the logistics sector, with trials carried
out in 2009 after the Tenens Environmental business was
established in 2008.
Tenens Environmental not only explores ways to reduce
fuel and energy consumption, but also increases recycling
and recovery of waste to add value in environmental
performance for our customers.
Significant investment is being made in technologies
that utilise alternative sources of energy which deliver
environmental and economic benefits. 88% of Howard
Tenens’ heavy goods vehicles over 18 tonnes run on dual
fuel. This means we have the highest proportion of dual
fuel vehicles of any large UK fleet. Gas refuelling stations
have been installed at Andover, Aveley, Boston and
Swindon which not only serve the company’s fleet but are
also open to third parties.
Dual Fuel
Howard Tenens have displaced diesel with natural gas,
a less carbon intensive fuel which in turn significantly
reduces emissions associated with air quality, which has
reduced our customers’ transport carbon footprint by
up to 60%.
Gas Stations
Howard Tenens have invested in creating our own
network of gas stations across the Group which fuel our
own fleet and also enable third parties to refuel from our
stations too.

Judge us by the
company we keep
We provide logistics solutions for a wide range of
business sectors and companies of varying sizes. We
have worked together with some of these customers for
over 30 years and are continuing to increase and evolve
our client base through continuous improvement on
existing accounts and new business wins.
Amongst our major
customers are Coca
Cola Enterprises, Costa
Express, Toolstation
and Honda.
“Using dual fuel vehicles powered
by gas and diesel will significantly
reduce our carbon footprint, enabling
Costa Express to continue working
towards our tough carbon reduction
objectives. Having these vehicles,
and the refuelling infrastructure to
support them, genuinely differentiates
Howard Tenens from all other logistics
providers.”
Chris Clowes - Supply Chain Manager,
Costa Enterprises
“We first outsourced our operation
to Howard Tenens in 2007 and have
been delighted with their excellent
service levels and forward thinking
approach as well as their agility in
response and complete flexibility.
This, coupled with their openness
and reliability, ensures that we can
achieve our objectives of innovation
along with new product and service
development.”
Tom Sherlock - Group Director, Supply Chain,
Berensden
“We chose Howard Tenens in
preference to the larger multi-
nationals because of the simple
and flexible nature of their
organisation and operations.”
Steve Jackson - General Manager,
Honda Logistics UK Ltd
“Howard Tenens is at the forefront of
low carbon transport and they have
trialled dual fuel vehicles for us as well
as sourcing and managing Voltaic –
we are pleased to be working with a
company whose sustainable ethos is
a good match for CCE.”
Wendy Manning - Customer Logistics Director GB,
Coca-Cola Enterprises
“Howard Tenens offered us an
innovative solution, on a very
competitive basis, that most
importantly centred on business
continuity. These factors gave us
the confidence to award them the
business, and work with us building
a secure future. We have not been
disappointed.”
Adam Keates - Commercial Resources Director,
Toolstation Ltd
“Howard Tenens has given us
exceptional service over the past
5 years. The day to day running of
the contract services are generally
seamless but where they did add value
is in their flexibility and willingness
to help during times of change. Abel
& Cole are very pleased with Howard
Tenen’s commitment to alternative
fuels and latterly the roll-out of gas
vehicles across their fleet. A great
company to work with.”
Ben Reardon - Head of Logistics, Abel & Cole
