How to Protect Your Site From Rising Fuel Costs
The cost of diesel is going up. Again.
The good news? You can reduce your exposure.
The solution isn’t to wait and hope prices come back down. It’s to reduce how much diesel your site relies on in the first place. And that’s exactly where Garic’s range of sustainable welfare and energy solutions come in.
Sustainable welfare that uses less fuel from the start
Our sustainable welfare units are designed to significantly cut diesel consumption compared to traditional site accommodation.
The Armadillo 18 Eco+ is our most advanced towable welfare unit, combining Microgrid solar technology, rainwater harvesting and near-zero noise operation. It cuts fuel costs by up to 96% and reduces emissions by up to 95% compared to a standard diesel-powered welfare unit. For a site dealing with rising fuel prices, those numbers matter.
The Combi Cabin 24 Eco brings the same sustainable thinking to static site accommodation. Solar-assisted power reduces generator reliance, cutting both running costs and your site’s carbon footprint without compromising on comfort or compliance.

Energy solutions that put solar first
Cutting your diesel bill isn’t just about the welfare units. It’s about how you power your whole site.
The Solar Energy Store 20 is an all-in-one hybrid generator that prioritises solar energy to power up to three cabins at once. When solar generation is sufficient, the backup generator stays off.
When it’s needed, it kicks in automatically to top up the battery. The result is a significant reduction in diesel consumption, lower running costs and fewer emissions, without any compromise on reliability. In a world where diesel costs can jump overnight, reducing how much of it you burn is one of the smartest decisions you can make on site.
Our Battery Energy Store works alongside your existing generator to dramatically cut diesel usage. By storing energy and supplying it when needed, it means your generator runs less. Less running time means less fuel burned. Less fuel burned means lower costs and lower emissions. It’s a simple principle with a real and measurable impact on your site’s running costs.

The bottom line
Oil prices will continue to be unpredictable. That’s not going to change any time soon. But the amount of diesel your site depends on? That’s something you can control.
Garic’s range of sustainable welfare units and energy solutions are built to help you do exactly that, reduce your reliance on diesel, protect your budget from fuel price volatility and run a greener, more efficient site.
