BCH Contract Hire has launched a branded fuel card in conjunction with Overdrive and already signed a deal to supply fuel to a 175-vehicle fleet. Luton-based Huntleigh Healthcare will be the first company to use the card, which is accepted at 12,500 fuel stations.

The deal extends BCH's existing relationship with the healthcare specialists, whose mixed fleet of Ford, Vauxhall and Rover vehicles is already managed by the Bristol-based company. BCH says the new card enables fleet operators to purchase fuel at the most competitive rates to deliver savings over the sole brand cards. BCH can produce reports on all aspects of fuel usage.
