SOUTH PORTLAND, ME--August 24, 2011: Wright Express Corporation , a leading global provider of business payment processing and information management solutions to the U.S. commercial and government fleet industries, announced today the launch of the OTR PRO fuel card program.

"We are thrilled to stand behind the new OTR PRO program offering world-class functionality and savings for those on both sides of the pump, and features that generate benefits not available with any over-the-road card program on the market today," said David D. Maxsimic, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Wright Express.
