Ampol and the National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) have announced a partnership to deliver “significant” savings on fuel costs.
The deal secures Ampol as NatRoad’s official fuel partner. It’s expected to deliver more than $15 million in savings annually for its members at more than 380 Ampol sites nationwide.
Ampol Managing Director and CEO Matt Halliday says Ampol is proud to support essential services by alleviating cost pressures and improving economic outcomes for Australian businesses.
“We understand that fuel is a significant expense for many businesses, so we are pleased to be able to deliver over $15 million in savings to the freight industry annually through our new partnership with NatRoad,” he says.
“Strong global demand, supply side constraints and the situation in Ukraine are all playing a role in exceptionally high crude oil prices that are driving Australian retail fuel prices. At this time, we are proud to launch this new partnership which will help businesses in key industries reduce their business costs and keep Australia moving.”
NatRoad Chairman Scott Davidson says the deal will be welcome news to a road transport industry that has successfully met a series of challenges during the pandemic.
“Fuel costs make up a significant portion of transport business expenses, so this is a significant announcement,” he says.
“It brings together Australia’s leading trucking association and the operator of Australia’s largest transport diesel refuelling network.
“Ampol has a proud history as an independent Australian company going back to 1900 and has more fuel sites than any other supplier.
“NatRoad has a history of advocacy, independence and delivering member benefits going back to 1948.
“As we all emerge from the disruption of Covid-19, this partnership is about helping road transport operators who deliver an essential service to drive their business dollar further.”

NatRoad members will also enjoy additional benefits, including:
- Access to Ampol’s award-winning FuelPay app for “quicker” stops
- 0% surcharge when paying invoices with MasterCard;
