Fuel distributor Certas Energy and Esso have launched an HGV card, giving access for hauliers to refuelling networks across the UK.
The fuel card provides access to over 1,400 Esso forecourts, including more than 180 HGV-dedicated sites.
Designed specifically for lorry operators, Certas said the Esso HGV card aimed to simplify fuel management and provide flexibility, convenience and cost control.
The launch comes as firms face soaring operating costs and Certas said high-volume HGV users would benefit from preferential pricing tariffs, while fixed weekly pricing across the Esso network helps businesses manage fuel spend and avoid unexpected surcharges.
At selected locations, drivers will also have access to Esso Diesel Efficient fuel, which is designed to help improve fuel economy and reduce maintenance requirements.
Andrew Goodwin, head of fuel cards at Certas Energy, said: “Fleet operators are under more pressure than ever to control costs, maximise vehicle uptime and keep drivers moving efficiently. Having reliable access to fuel across a nationwide network is a critical part of that.
“That’s why we’re delighted to launch the first dedicated Esso HGV Card in partnership with Esso. The card gives operators greater flexibility and confidence when planning routes and managing fuel spend – making things simpler.
“By bringing together the strength of the Certas Energy and Esso networks, we’re giving customers a practical solution that supports day-to-day operations while helping them stay competitive in a challenging market.”
