Asda has extended its contract with Exel Tankfreight for the delivery of petrol and low sulfur diesel to over 100 of its superstore service station forecourts in the north of England and Scotland. Over 100 orders per day are placed with Exel, whose service support team at Immingham provides a 24-hour, seven days a week service. A fleet of 12 vehicles, each carrying up to 37,000 litres of fuel, and 26 drivers operate out of depots in Aberdeen, Grangemouth, Dalston, Stockton and Immingham. In addition to the new delivery contract, Exel is also developing a continuous improvement programme for Asda, including plans to use a telemetry-based remote ullage control system to manage forecourt fuel storage. Exel is also implementing an automated driver and delivery administration system that collates management information, allowing the customer direct access to delivery data via the Internet.
