SWAN National and BP have joined forces to offer the leasing company's customers specially branded versions of the BP Supercharge and BP PLUS cards. The BP Supercharge card can be used at more than 12,000 Allstar accepting sites in the UK and Ireland, while the BP PLUS card is accepted throughout the UK at over 1,800 BP service stations displaying the ROUTEX sign.

The European ROUTEX network can also be added, giving access to more than 13,500 service stations in 26 countries. Swan National previously used Allstar and Mobil cards. Tim Holmes, director and general manager of Forward Trust with responsibility for motor operations, said: 'The European coverage is becoming increasingly important - certainly our major customers and multi-nationals want to look at ways of covering the whole of their operating base.'
