NATIONAL coverage proved a major factor in Fleet Cost Management winning a new fuel card deal with Eastern Electricity Contracting. Electricity industry changes mean Eastern now has contracts in areas far from its east of England base. It chose FCM following a tendering process involving half a dozen oil company and multi-brand fuel cards.

Eastern Electricity Contracting has a fleet of more than 500 vehicles, most of which are Vauxhall Combos used by electricians and engineers with some specialised vehicles for electrical contracting work.
