AS 24: security that travels with you
As a leading fuel distributor for HGV fleets, AS 24 says its highly secure European network is supported by practical solutions designed to protect transactions and provide peace of mind to both drivers and fleet managers.
“For HGV drivers, security is not simply a box to tick – it is part of every journey,” said AS 24.
“From protecting a fuel card to responding quickly to suspicious activity, having the right tools and support can make life on the road safer, easier and less stressful.
“AS 24 fuel cards combine encryption technology with an anti-cloning chip designed for intensive professional use. For additional protection, PIN authentication is required for every transaction, including contactless payments, while NFC technology helps ensure the secure exchange of data. These safeguards allow drivers to refuel confidently wherever their journeys take them.”
The company also highlights the AS 24 Customer Area and the Fleet Manager mobile app, through which fleet managers can monitor and manage their active cards 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“In just a few clicks, they can temporarily suspend a card, adjust spending limits, block a lost or stolen card, or activate a new one. Changes take effect across Europe, helping fleets react quickly when every minute matters…
“The platform also provides clear visibility of transactions, invoices and vehicle journeys. This helps fleet managers identify unusual activity, control expenses and manage their resources more effectively. Customisable spending limits and card usage rules provide an additional layer of security without making every day refuelling more complicated for drivers. “
AS 24’s CardControl service goes one step further.
“Drivers can benefit from this optional SMS activation feature, which keeps the fuel card locked by default. When they arrive at the service station, they simply send an SMS to activate it temporarily for one hour.
“This helps prevent theft and fraudulent use while allowing drivers to refuel quickly and continue their journey with complete peace of mind.”
AS 24 advised: “Keep your fuel card separate from its PIN, never share your security details and remain aware of your surroundings when refuelling. If your card goes missing or you notice a suspicious transaction, report it immediately. Acting quickly can prevent a small concern from becoming a much bigger problem.
“If something unexpected happens, drivers are never alone. AS 24’s security teams respond to suspicious activity 365 days a year, while a dedicated assistance hotline is available 24/7.
“By combining secure technology, real-time control, practical driver habits and round-the-clock support, AS 24 protects your transactions and gives you greater confidence on every journey.”
