• Hauliers in the South can now cross the Channel every weekend to buy cheap diesel thanks to Trans-Action, which has negotiated a deal with Eurotunnel.
Operators can take tractors through the tunnel between 18:00hrs on Fridays and 12:00hrs on Sundays for 260 (exVAT). Drivers can pay at the Ashford truckstop or simply turn up and buy a ticket at the booth. Proof of a VAT number is required; drivers can pay by cheque or credit card.
Trans-Action's Frank Stears says hauliers driving the 40 miles to the Belgian border can save up to 28p1 lit. Operators need an international 0-licence to take units abroad for this purpose, but Sunday bans are not a problem.
