As fleet operators continue to battle with a range of challenges one motor fleet insurance company has recommended a way to make fuel savings is by considering a partnership with the fuelcard people. Significant savings can be made by doing this as they amount to between 2 to 3 pence in the United Kingdom per litre, so very simple mathematics will tell you that this can really help with your fleets' running costs. In the current climate where US optimisim has boosted oil prices this looks like having a knock-on effect on those of us who fill up at British pumps. Businessweek states that crude which is scheduled for delivery in August will reach $76.99 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Recently the UKWA Chief has called for a cut in fuel duty. UKWA which stands for the United Kingdom Warehousing Association chief Derrick Potter has called on Philip Hammond, the UK transport minister, to introduce a fuel duty stabiliser, as was part of his party's manifesto. He criticised the British chancellor's plan to go ahead with fuel duty hikes in October and January. Such is the climate in the UK at the moment. There are a number of examples of organisations who have made this move and regardless of the size of your fleet there is a solution to suit you. Recently 1500 members of the NFB (National Federation of Builders) will be able to avail of cut-price diesel and petrol amounting to savings of between 2p and 3p per litre. On 13th July 2010 the NFB announced their partnership with the Fuelcard People. Karen Dawes who is the Training and Membership Services Manager said she was very happy about the arrangement as it would mean significant savings to their members. Overview of The Fuelcard People The Fuelcard People can offer a solution to your business whatever fuel you use, diesel or petrol, and to suit the size of your fleet and the combination of vehicles: Car, Van, LCV, Lorry, HGV, Coach, Bus, Minibus or Taxi.
