What Commercial Fuel Cards Ltd does

UK Fuels Limited (trading as UK Fuels and Radius Business Solutions (UK), Company No. 02212080) is a UK-based B2B fuel card provider founded in 1990 and operating as a subsidiary of Radius. The company serves more than 120,000 UK businesses through a portfolio of eight branded fuel cards — Radius One, Truckone, BP Plus, Esso National, Shell Multi, Texaco Fastfuel, JET, and the European Diesel Card (EDC) — accepted across 8,300+ stations covering 98% of UK postcodes including BP, Shell, Esso, Texaco, and supermarket networks (Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Asda Express). The European Diesel Card extends acceptance to 19,000 stations across 15 countries with toll payment and VAT recovery support. Segment focus spans car fleets, van fleets, HGVs and coaches, electric vehicle fleets, public sector organizations, and European fleet operations, with HGV-specific bulk diesel access at over 1,000 dedicated stations.

The technology stack is built on the Radius Velocity online fleet management portal (browser and mobile) for invoicing, purchase history, spending limits and alerts, and driver/usage reporting, paired with the e-route station finder tool covering 98% of UK postcodes. Supplementary services include Radius Telematics (vehicle tracking with driver-eye video), business vehicle insurance, business telecoms, and EV charging card integration, positioning the platform as a broader fleet services stack rather than a single-product fuel card. The company holds HMRC Registered Dealer in Controlled Oil status, enabling supply of rebated fuels and supporting compliant commercial fuel invoicing.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees and wholesale-to-retail margins on fuel purchases, with quoted discounts of up to 10p per litre available to cardholders and monthly billing cadence. Pricing is bespoke and tied to fleet size and consumption rather than publicly listed tiers. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct online self-service application via ukfuels.co.uk with phone-based corporate sales and distribution leverage through the parent Radius. Marketing is primarily digital, supported by Trustpilot social proof. The company is privately held within Radius, with no public financials, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public investor roster in the available data.
