Hagerty Launches Partnership With SUSTAIN Classic Fuel To Promote Sustainable Fuels For Classic Car Owners

In a significant move towards sustainable motoring, Hagerty has announced a partnership with SUSTAIN fuels, aiming to enlighten classic car owners about the advantages of using eco-friendly fuels. This collaboration is set to debut at the 2024 Hagerty Hill Climb event on 11th May at Shelsley Walsh, marking a pivotal moment for both organizations committed to preserving the legacy of classic vehicles through innovation.Since its inception in 2021, SUSTAIN has been at the forefront of developing sustainable fuel solutions. The SUSTAIN Classic range, crafted by fuel specialist Coryton, represents a significant leap forward. It combines advanced additives with sustainable biomass to create a fuel that not only respects the environment but also meets the high-performance standards expected by classic car enthusiasts. This innovative product is compatible with any vehicle capable of running on standard pump fuel and can be mixed with traditional petrol, offering a seamless transition towards greener alternatives.The SUSTAIN Classic fuel is distinguished by its use of second-generation biofuel produced from agricultural waste, such as straw and crop by-products. This approach cleverly recycles carbon already present in our atmosphere, absorbed by plants during growth, thus avoiding the release of new CO2 emissions from fossil fuels.The partnership between Hagerty and SUSTAIN fuels will extend beyond the Hill Climb event, featuring prominently at the 2024 Festival of the Unexceptional in July and RADwood UK in September. These events will provide classic car owners with opportunities to experience SUSTAIN Classic fuel firsthand, engage with experts, and gain insights into the environmental benefits of sustainable fuels.Mark Roper, Managing Director for Hagerty International, emphasized the growing desire among classic car owners to adopt more environmentally friendly practices without compromising vehicle compatibility. This partnership aims to address these concerns by offering direct access to SUSTAIN's expertise and innovative solutions.David Richardson, Business Development Director at Coryton, expressed enthusiasm about joining forces with Hagerty. He highlighted the increasing interest in sustainable fuels among the public, especially within the vintage vehicle community.
