In a move designed to help the transport industry mitigate the effects of fuel prices, Scania is introducing its own fuel card. Launched on 5 November 2012 and available to all UK transport operators from single-vehicle owner-drivers upwards, the Scania Fuel Card will enable companies of all sizes to bulk fuel prices.
“While larger fleets are able to benefit from bulk purchases of fuel, the same does not hold true for smaller operators,” says David Hickman, director — services development and service sales for Scania (Great Britain) Limited. “Not only does that cost them, it also puts them at a considerable competitive disadvantage. So the Scania Fuel Card has been specifically designed with owner-drivers and smaller fleets in mind — although we’d be happy to welcome larger players into the scheme too.”
The service will be administered for Scania by The Fuelcard People, which is part of DCC plc, one of the largest fuel distributors in the UK. The Fuelcard People already has 145,000 fuel cards in use, which between them account for seven million transactions a year.

It’s a fuel card supplied by Scania Harry!! Sorry couldn’t resist! I see its been administered by The fuelcard People so I presume it’s just a PR stunt by Scania to make it look like they’re trying to help the long suffering haulier. By the way I saw you M1 S/B on Thursday pulling a Gregory trailer. I flashed but you didn’t see me. Better luck next time!!

For a small fee 3 ppl you can have a card with the V8 emblem on it!
Where do I sign?? And I don’t even drive a scania but will look amazing when I open my v8 wallet and everyone sees that it matches my v8 coat, hat, belt, socks, clogs etc.
