The Fuelcard Company renews contract with RHA

Leading fuel card provider to manage more than 30 million litres of fuel for RHA members in 2010

The Fuelcard Company, one of the UK’s leading providers of fuel cards, has announced a new two-year contract with the Road Haulage Association (RHA).

Under the new partnership, the RHA’s 8,000+ members can now beat rising pump prices and benefit from an exclusive fixed weekly diesel price.

Members taking up The Fuelcard Company’s offer will also have access to a number of innovative products including ‘Advantage Protect’.  This zero liability insurance scheme is designed to protect fleet businesses against card fraud which currently costs UK businesses around £40 million a year.

Lee Atkinson, Partnership Manager at The Fuelcard Company, said: “We’re delighted to count the RHA among our valued partners and look forward to supporting its members with our wide range of fuel card packages.  We have ambitious growth plans and this partnership with one of the leading member services organisations in the haulage industry is another step in that direction.”

“We are always looking for opportunities to help our customers conserve fuel and save money.  Advantage Protect will be particularly beneficial to RHA members in the fight against card fraud, which has claimed an extra three million victims after soaring more than 6% in the last two years.”

In addition to making big savings at the pump, RHA members will also have access to a range of additional services including ‘EcoPoint’ – a green fuel card package through which customers will be able to offset a percentage of their carbon footprint via a tree-planting project with Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.

Richard Ellithorne Operations Director at the RHA said: “This contract with The Fuelcard Company will be a real benefit to our members, not only supporting them financially during a difficult economic period, but also offering them added benefits to boost fuel efficiency and protect them against card fraud.”

Note: The Fuelcard Company is one of the largest commercial fuel card resellers in the United Kingdom, enjoying partnerships with many commercial fuelling networks including Shell, Esso, Texaco, Keyfuels, and UTA.  The company directly serves more than 40,000 business fleets.
