Diesel Card Ireland

What Diesel Card Ireland does

Diesel Card Ireland (DCI), legally Radius Business Solutions (Ireland) Limited, is Ireland's largest fuel card network operator, providing prepaid fuel cards and integrated fleet management services to sole traders, SMEs, business fleets, HGV/logistics operators, and European haulage customers across the Island of Ireland (Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland). Headquartered in Galway with a regional office in Eglinton, Northern Ireland, DCI issues multiple card variants (DCI One, DCI Pump Saver, DCI Main Route, Radius One, European Diesel Card, Texaco Fastfuel, and Radius Future) accepted at over 1,900 fuel stations covering all major Irish fuel brands plus 4,000+ EV charge points. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Radius, a privately held UK/European fuel card and fleet services group operating across 19 countries with 54 offices and 2,900+ employees, and DCI serves as Radius's Irish licensed entity under HMRC/Revenue-compliant frameworks. Operationally DCI is led by a sales-led GTM motion with dedicated account management for fleet customers and self-service online application for smaller accounts; the careers page indicates 400+ Irish employees supporting a customer base that Radius Ireland cites at 50,000+ businesses.

The underlying technology stack centers on the Radius Velocity platform, an online account management system providing card/invoice administration, real-time transaction monitoring, spending-limit controls, automated alerts, and driver behavior insights, integrated with the E-Route station locator app (iOS/Android/web) for route planning and station filtering. Telematics, GPS tracking, dash cams, geofencing, and asset tracking are integrated through Radius Telematics and Kinesis fleet software, linking fuel transaction data to fleet operations for fraud prevention, carbon reporting, and route optimization. The Radius One hybrid card functionally bridges ICE and EV fleet charging onto a single billing line, and the European Diesel Card extends the same model across 16,200 stations in 15 countries with integrated EETS toll payment and VAT reclaim. No public API or SDK is offered; integration is proprietary via shared internal platforms rather than developer-facing endpoints.

DCI's revenue model combines transaction fees on fuel purchases (margin between pump price and discounted weekly-priced commercial rates) with recurring subscription revenue from telematics subscriptions, EV charging services, HVO fuel margins, AdBlue purchases, and the Radius Future carbon-offsetting programme. Pricing is quote-based across multiple tiers with weekly billing, no joining fees, and no disclosed public pricing. Cards are delivered by mail within 7-10 working days of approval, and customer segments span enterprise fleets (DCI Main Route, dedicated account management) through sole traders (DCI Pump Saver self-service application). Distribution is direct via field sales for fleets plus online application for SMBs, and the relationship with the Radius group provides the technology platform, brand, and 19-country infrastructure that underpins Irish operations.

Core offering

Diesel Card Ireland (DCI) operates Ireland's largest fuel card network with over 1,900 stations across the Island of Ireland, providing businesses with discounted commercial fuel pricing, consolidated Revenue/HMRC-compliant invoicing, and the Velocity account management platform. The company offers multiple fuel card variants (DCI One, Pump Saver, Main Route, Radius One hybrid, European Diesel Card, Texaco Fastfuel) complemented by telematics, EV charging, and carbon offsetting services.

Product overview

Diesel Card Ireland (DCI) operates as Ireland's largest fuel card network provider, offering a portfolio of interconnected fuel management products and fleet solutions. The core product lineup consists of multiple fuel card variants: DCI One (flagship with weekly pricing), DCI Pump Saver (fixed discount card), DCI Main Route (HGV-specific), Radius One (hybrid fuel/EV card), European Diesel Card (EDC for cross-border European operations), and Texaco Fastfuel (branded network card). Supporting the fuel cards are two key platforms: Velocity (account management portal) and E-Route (station locator app). Add-on services include Radius Telematics (vehicle tracking, dash cams, asset tracking), Radius EV (EV charging solutions), and Radius Future (carbon offsetting card). The products operate as a unified ecosystem where all fuel cards integrate with Velocity for management and reporting, and the Radius One card bridges traditional fuel with EV charging for mixed fleets.

Direct peers

• Keyfuels (Radius): Sister fuel card brand also owned by Radius, focused on the UK HGV and commercial diesel market; competes in the same HGV segment DCI serves in Ireland and is the most direct corporate-sibling comparable.
• Allstar (Fleetcor): One of Europe's largest fleet fuel card operators under Fleetcor, offering multi-brand acceptance, EDC cross-border coverage, and integrated telematics - directly competing for the same commercial fleet and HGV segments as DCI.
• UK Fuels: UK's largest fuel card network with multi-brand acceptance and a comparable portfolio of SME and fleet fuel cards; explicitly cited as a network partner on the DCI website and competing head-to-head for cross-border haulage cards.
• Fuelcard Services (FCS): UK and Ireland-focused fuel card broker offering multi-brand acceptance and SME pricing; competes directly with DCI on small-fleet and sole-trader segments.
• Esso Card (Edenred): European fuel card programme distributed by Edenred serving commercial fleets across multiple countries with cross-border acceptance; comparable business model and customer base to DCI.

Broad incumbents

• BP Fleet (bp pulse fleet & fuel card): BP's combined fuel card and EV charging proposition for fleets; large incumbent with multi-country acceptance and growing EV charging network directly competing with Radius One.
• Radius (parent): Parent conglomerate of DCI with broader European fuel card, telematics, and EV operations; included as it is the controlling entity whose strategy and resourcing decisions most directly shape DCI's trajectory.
• Shell Fleet Solutions: Global oil major offering fuel cards, telematics, and EV charging for commercial fleets; broader portfolio than DCI but directly contests the same fleet customer wallet across Europe.

Emerging players

• Geotab: Leading fleet telematics provider with open marketplace for fuel cards and EV integrations; competes for the data, tracking, and software layer of the same fleet customers DCI serves.
• Samsara: Fleet telematics and connected operations platform increasingly offering fuel card and EV charging integrations; an emerging player in the bundled fleet-energy-offerings space DCI competes in via Kinesis.
