Aspen return to Arb Show after record-breaking 2024: 2024 was a record-breaking year for Aspen Fuel – with even more commercial customers across arboriculture, landscaping and groundcare discovering the benefits of using a cleaner petrol.

Aspen are proudly the original and premium brand of alkylate fuel for the professional arborist. Free from ethanol, benzene and most other hazardous hydrocarbons traditionally found in pump petrol, Aspen delivers a longer shelf life and a cleaner burn, enhancing engine performance and reliability while providing an improved working environment for the operator. Available in 4-stroke and a pre-mixed alkylate petrol for air-cooled 2-stroke engines, Aspen offers a viable solution for those seeking a more environmentally friendly fuel source, without resigning fully serviceable petrol-powered equipment to the shed or scrapyard.

The many proven benefits for people, machinery and the planet, has seen Aspen become the workstyle choice for a range of businesses within the arboriculture and forestry sectors, together with golf courses and local authorities. As of February 2025, the use of alkylate fuels has also been recommended by the Forest Industry Safety Accord (FISA) for the health of chainsaw operators.

Those sceptical about making the switch are invited to stand C10 this May to speak with a member of the Aspen technical team, who can also explain the trial opportunities for you to ‘Experience the Difference’ within your business. More details will also be available on the various pack sizes and flexible delivery options which bring further time and budget savings by all-but eliminating trips to the petrol station.

While on the stand, visitors can put their strength and skills to the test with the return of the infamous ‘Aspen Challenge’, for a chance to win a fantastic prize on each day of the show.
