AS 24: making fuel stops swift and straightforward
Fuel card provider AS 24 has emphasised the importance of fast and reliable fuelling for hauliers with delivery schedules to meet.
“For professional drivers, a fuel stop should be straightforward: a convenient station, a secure purchase and a quick return to the road,” said the company.
“At AS 24, we understand the realities of life on the road. Our network of more than 2,000 stations across 29 European countries gives you places to refuel as your routes take you across the UK and beyond. With stations near major roads and logistics hubs, you can find a stop that fits your journey. Check the location, available fuels and opening hours before setting off, so you know what to expect when you arrive.
“A fuel stop needs to work for the vehicle you drive. At our stations, wide lanes give you space to manoeuvre an HGV, while high-flow diesel pumps help you fill up efficiently. Equipped sites also offer double-tank refuelling facilities, so you can fill both tanks during the same stop. And when your truck needs AdBlue, you’ll find it at the pump at many stations across our network… Alongside diesel and AdBlue, our network includes stations offering CNG.”
Customers can check which fuels and facilities are available at each location before they begin their journey, and choose a stop that suits their vehicle and route.
“From getting your truck to the pump to choosing the fuel it needs, the details of a stop matter. Once you’re there, making the purchase should be just as straightforward,” said AS 24.
“When you fill up at one of our stations, your AS 24 fuel card’s secure chip and confidential PIN help protect the transaction. Your company can also manage its cards online, setting spending limits and choosing which fuels and services are authorised. For an extra layer of security, our optional CardControl SMS feature keeps your card locked by default. When you arrive at the station, simply send a text to activate it for one hour, enough time to refuel. After that, the card locks again, protecting it between stops while keeping it ready when you need it.”
For those travelling beyond the UK, the company highlights the importance of taking the right card.
“The AS 24 Eurotrafic card gives you more options along the way. As well as our own network, you can use it at partner stations across Europe, giving you greater flexibility when planning where to refuel. The card can also be used to pay eligible tolls, bringing two essential parts of an international journey together. Whether you’re making a local delivery or crossing borders, we want every fuel stop to fit your working day. Find a station that suits your vehicle, make a secure purchase and get back on the road with AS 24.”
The company concluded: “The best fuel card is one that fits the routes you actually drive. If there’s a stop you use regularly, a fuel you need or a part of refuelling that could be easier, tell your transport manager. Our local sales team can work with your company to find the right card and help make your fuel stops work better for you.”
