Fuel distributor Certas Energy has partnered with Esso to launch a dedicated HGV fuel card, giving hauliers access to more than 1,400 Esso forecourts across the UK, including more than 180 sites specifically equipped for HGVs.
The new card is designed to simplify fuel management for road transport operators, offering greater flexibility, nationwide refuelling access and improved control over fuel expenditure.
With operating costs continuing to put pressure on the haulage sector, Certas Energy said high-volume HGV users would benefit from preferential pricing tariffs, while fixed weekly pricing across the Esso network is intended to provide greater certainty over fuel costs and help operators avoid unexpected surcharges.
Drivers will also be able to access Esso Diesel Efficient fuel at selected locations. The fuel is designed to improve fuel economy and reduce vehicle 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.”
He added that combining the Certas Energy and Esso networks would provide operators with a practical solution to support day-to-day fleet operations and help them remain competitive.
