The AA has chosen the euroShell fuel card to purchase part of the nine million litres of fuel it requires each year.

It will enable the AA to save on fleet management running costs and offer volume discounts on Shell fuels.

Matthew Snelling, UK fleet sales manager of euroShell, said: “This is a significant deal between the two organisations , designed to provide AA with the opportunity of achieving significant fleet cost savings.

"The euroShell fuel card provides the AA with a cost-effective fuel management system and comprehensive network coverage of more than 900 UK sites.”

Steve Sharpe, AA fleet operations manager, added: “The AA has one of the largest fleets in the UK and we selected the euroShell card as one of our fuel card suppliers due to its strong network and cost-effectiveness.

“Our drivers need to have access to fuel at convenient locations and on a 24-7 basis.

“We believe that the euroShell fuel card can provide this and will reduce our fleet management running costs, in addition to our drivers using high quality fuel that we can trust.”
